Re: Hot Toys Acquires The Matrix License I know it will never happen, but if they ever need the CG model files....

Too bad. A little extra engineering and it should have been fine and articulate the way they obviously intended. It was a personal must for me because I did the 3D concept model (based on Geof Darrow's concept drawing) and articulation studies for the movies.

It's not as bad as it seems. The pose-abilty totally makes it worth it. Those arms were hardly ever stowed in the upright, locked in position, even when they were just walking. If you do some damage, super glue and a little paint touch-up will hide anything. It's supposed to be a big grimy...

That's what I thought at first. To make a long story short, one side snapped off (the piece just above the ammo box with the two lower cylinders connected to it.) when I tried to force the arms over. There are tiny springs inside the lower "armpit" cylinders, but the pivot joints are glued on so...

Fixed the articulation issue with the shoulders. The lower (armpit) joints were glued in place...

Got my APU yesterday, one day after I got the shipping notice! Size is awesome. Can actually pose with my old McFarlane sentinels since they are the same scale. The driver's face sculpt is weak, not a big deal. A few articulation issues, but nothing too major. Some clips holding the main leg...

The toes were just one of many examples that add up to a lot of issues and an overall "fan made" feel to it. Sadly, you're probably correct though. What WOULD have been the most cost effective in the end (more sales and better rep for future sales) would be to do it right the first time (at no...

Normally, I would agree, but now there are AMPLE reference images (I took most of the ones floating around of an original puppet from Tippett https://flic.kr/s/aHskacnNH1 ) and now, with Chonicles exact duplicate available to take measurments from (NOT castings!) it should at least be VERY...

I can only hope we see an entirely new sculpt that is far more accurate than what they have now. It just looks like every part was guesstimated, ending up with overall major scale and proportion problems. :slap
