I still have yet to see if it's possible to seat him properly on the bike; everyone's got him leaning back like a dad on his zero turn riding lawn mower, and maybe that's all the articulation allows for.

In the show his butt is farther back on the seat, legs less bent, arms straighter and shoulders farther forward than his hips. Hunched forward, not backward.

Hopping in the Mandowagon here. Got my deluxe set yesterday and immediately got to tinkering. I had picked up some extra v2 parts cheap on Toy Anxiety and swapped out his apron for the v2 version, which has less goofy weathering, and swapped the wired cape for the v2 drape cape, which sits nicer at rest. These are removable velcro applied parts, so easy enough to switch back later. Plus, it required I take apart most of the upper suit and redress him, which allowed me to tweak the fit and position of things a bit.

Also use Oaty's Cape Cod cloth method to polish the armor up. Didn't remove all the weathering, just dialed it down.

**Side note, that spear carrier accessory is useless. The spear just slides right out of it.

Feel like we're looking at different sculpts as I think it looks really good. Always interesting to see what different folks perceive from a likeness.
Looks too young and soft, facial hair looks like crap, just doesn't hit the mark imo. HT sculpts haven't been doing it for me as of late.

LOL! I am a dad, I have a ride-on lawnmower, and yes that's all my articulation allows for!

I think it looks really good too. Which is a relief, with all 3 versions so far I need at least one unmasked.

that sculpted hair looks bad, but the face looks good. But yeah idk what it is but the hot toys heads havent been seeming as impressive as i thought they were when i was a younger lad. Of the recent ones probably the best looking one i can think of is the one of Yelena from black widow.
