Looks better when the ladies "chicken wing" it... Just saying... :p

Gotta love ladies' archery for that.

I don't think any JOEs had double elbows, but Marvel Universe figures did. She-Hulk was my favorite with them.

How do we get to our albums/attachments? I had some pics of the figure.

Haha wow, you got a lot of interesting content upload here Mr Eduardo.

Mostly porn.

I think I used to contribute to RNSFW/NSFW and a group? I didn't know how to post pics here before without uploading them first back in the day.

Your spoiler was, nothing?

Yes, yes you did. I had to click through a lot of them fast here at work. But.. mmhmm.

I didn't see a She-hulk though, but it's not in the best order. I'll try and figure out how normal peons access their folders if its possible.

Hmm. Maybe in photobucket then? :wave:forever old pictures. :salute:


Edit: Yup, in photobucket. I found the original thread and they all have the dreaded photobucket shakedown pic in them.

I mean.. I guess. That looks pretty awkward though.

I looked up a bunch of people shooting and I don't think I saw one picture where someone had their elbow at ear level when shouldering a rifle.

Usually it looks something like this:



That is certainly better than some other figures, but I'd be happier if they went all the way.
All of this. There's chicken-winging it, and then there's whatever the hell that Marauder figure is doing.

Double elbows typically fixes that issue.
Shit, missed this one. Yeah, double-jointed elbows would have helped tremendously. Boss Fight's figures have just enough range to get a fair rifle hold.

Thanks. She's one of my faves as is Popeye. If I could pop out a perfect Marty, all would be right in the world.

Hmm. Even with double elbows, it's not going to fix the cheek weld issue. All double elbows would do is place their hands further down the stock. The butt needs to be able to push further into the shoulder and the neck needs a lot better range of motion. Though if the butt could fit further into the shoulder, then the double elbow would become much needed.

I just love double elbows. They allow for much more natural looking poses.

If they follow the 3-day pattern, we should get another reveal today, I suspect a Russkie. Please, Toy Jesus, don't let them screw up the PPSh-41.

I figure you need a whole figure re-design to get proper aiming. Even in the pictures above the figure isnt looking down the sights. It could be posed a second before or after or whatever.. but you're not getting that perfect shot them looking through the scope.

There are like, four-five points that have to line up to get a good rifle aim pose going, and it pretty hard to engineer because of the realities of unyeilding plastic versus cloth, skin and muscle that all compress.

Ball jointed skeleton master race!

That praying emoticon is great!

About the only way to get the perfect pose is to notch out the butt of a rifle or the shoulder of the figure.

Not a Red, but a Marine with an M1/M1A1 flamethrower and BAR magazine belt. Definitely glad for the belt.



It gives me a little hope we might get a Flammenwerfer 35.

It's WWII Blowtorch!

One of these 1:18th companies needs to do a pack of expressive faces. Some yelling ones would look great, as would some terrified ones.

Expressive faces would be ace, I hope there is a flame piece for that flamethrower.

About a month ago it was "a few weeks". Don't know of anything more firm.

They are supposedly on the way from the factory. People that ordered them through the KS should get them by the end of the month. I'd expect them to hit the store during the 2nd or 3rd week of March.

Safe assumption that it'll be clear plastic? Yeah, probably.

Nope - Tooled in transparent yellow with orange & red highlights.

This KS is going to be amazing. I painted all the weapon prototypes and yesterday I saw the 1st draft of the KS plan. WOW! So much cool stuff planned.
