The real question is.. how easy to cast is this! Does the MU body really help with the range of motion?

Casting, not sure how difficult it would be. TJ would know.

MU parts definitely give more range and/or posing options. I'll snap various poses in just a bit...

Wow...that looks so cool in the poses you have him in, specially sitting Indian style...also nice that the base color of the sculpt material is green, if you plan to paint him green...

So nice with the vest on even if it's not a perfect fit yet...

Yeah... the mandarin collar I sculpted is holding up the vest. No biggie though. Any vest would just need a small bit trimmed from the neck hole.

OR... I'll have to make a vest specifically for him, that can be used on anyone too.

NO TOE ARTICULATION??!?!?!?!?

Start over! J/K but when you gonna start adding that too? I remember you teasing about that 3ish years ago on your HA SW figs, lol.

I can't wait to see this badboy painted up. Ar you planning on sculpting on the chest anymore, or is that it? How does he look side by side with one of the other customs(like the driver of that jeep), does the added articulation make him look too old school Marvel Legend-y? I remember some of them, Silver Surfer/Daredevil/Deadpool looked kinda wonky with all their ball joints hanging out everywhere, lol...

Can't wait for more updates...

Not much really needed on the torso, imo, so probably not.

Side by side with standard Joe? Different. The legs look fairly close, but the arms of course look a bit different because of the double elbows. Does it look "wonky"? Maybe to some people, but not me. There are certain aspects of more articulation you have to learn to accept - if you want it. The arms certainly don't flow as well visually, as the typical swivel-hinge Joe arm does, but I'm ok with that. I can pose his arms in more realistic poses, and that alone is 10x better to me.

More durable? I wouldn't say so really. Very similar products I believe.

At least for now, I find greenstuff very easy to work with and I can get enough detail out of it for what I've done.
