It's easier than with the core guys.

He unscrews pretty easy from the back, and the orange LED is wired in separately, not mounted on the chip, while the "clear orange" bits the orange LED shines though are all on a light-piped separate piece.

So basically, you have to remove the orange LED and solder on a white LED, remove the clear orange plastic piece, then fill in the holes with clear epoxy. Then repaint his orange painted bits white-ish blue. (If you wanted to go full out, you could then paint his hexagonal undersuit flat black and his helmet a gloss black)

Alternatively, you could just paint over the clear orange parts too with whiteish-blue - since he's not going to be lit up 99.999% of the time anyway.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

The other thing I'd want to do is mod the discs he comes with so that they'd both snap together and mount on his back like in the movie. From what I've seen on other video reviews you can only put one disc on a stock (for lack of a better term) deluxe Rinzler figure.

As far as the lighting, I would want to keep it lit all the time as long as the power switch is turned on. I'm sure that's possible to do.

Yeah it's possible to do but the deluxe figures come just like the core figures. They don't come with an on/off switch, you'll have to manually put on in. It's just a time-release button unfortunately.

Nothing crazy. Mainly vehicles. Clu Jet, Sentry Cycle, etc.

That sounds cool. Changing the bike to a Sentry doesn't look like it would to be too difficult to do as they appear to be the same design and just different in coloring.
