That joint model looks pretty cool. The ball joints are great for customs and figures repair. Great find, bro!

I hear ya!
I still have my jumbo Grt Mazinger to start on. I've only gotten far as to wash it off (the body) of all the dirt and dust it still had when Magnemo sold it to me a couple months ago.
I'm tempted to start spary-painting the body Now, but I gotta have some air-flow in the room so the paint fumes don't knock me out... that's why I'm waiting for nicer weather, so I can paint it outside where the paint will air-dry quick.
I'm gonna spray-paint the body with black namel, then after it's dry, I'll lightly sand it and give it just one more coat and let that dry. I'll then mask off the black area, and spary-paint the waist with a silver enamle (two coats)... and seal these colors with an acrylic sealer.
The same silver enamel will be used on the crown, the mouth, the biceps and the thighs. And, Gold enamel for the ear-spikes. A touch of metallic blue for the face, and glow-in-the-dark yellow or bright yellow enamle paint for the eyes.
The same black enamel will be used on the shoulders and shins.
The left-hand rocket launcher will be replaced with a fist, if I can find a good left fist for it, or I'll use a fist from other jumbos.
I have an idea for the red chestplate: either red plastic; or I'll cut the shape from a large-sized red reflector lens, like those found on trucks. The areas where the shoulder missile holders used to be, will have yellow reflectors on there... I can find these in a good size at my local Dollar Store.
I want my custom jumbo GrtMaz to look unique. ;D

You mean the Ryoma Getter, as in "Getter1"? (I'm still not too familiar with all the characters in the Getter series)
That green part inside his red chestplate? --Try using an old circuitboard, placed inside the opening of the red chestplate... ...just like you see in the Aoshima Getter's chestplate.
It has to be a green-colored circuitboard with all the funky circuits and solderings showing outwards (not the lumpy spikey side of the board).
You can find some circuitboards, already circuited, at RadioShack.

Dude, you said joint and my mind went all Cheech and Chong...
These look like more stripped-down versions of Stikfas. They might even be compatible. hmmmmm.

Nah, I meant cigarrettes (not Weed! <LOL>)... ...up here in upstate NY in my area, we have a smoking ban in our local bars (except for private clubs); but we can smoke outside in their patios (during nice weather). zozo-Magengar you can still smoke here on some bars in NYC, just dont tell the mayor and some officers ^_^ i used to go to some irish bars here and we smoke inside ... but never got to smoke a joint ;D
