Got a short break at work, so spent a bit of time to get a cool pose with the Dirty Diana look, swinging a mic stand (got it from my HT Wong Ka Kui figure). Just when everything is ready, and about to take a quick snap and share my excitement, I just realized I left my camera home. DOH!
With the Dirty Diana shirt, shoulder movement is not restrictive, and can come up with very nice pose. Though like other shirts and jacket on this figure, the shoulder cutting is also a bit on the small side (not big enough to wrap the shirt around MJ's torso and close the buttons), making MJ's shoulder not as square as he looks in video. Seems like the costume design on this figure particularly want to modernize the fitment of the outfits, rather than get the 80s baggy look that MJ supposed to have back then. If the shoulder seam brings out another 1/8" or 3/16" on each side, it would be perfect! So with what it is now, you may need to spread out MJ's shoulder a bit more to look better with the white shirt. Also, you don't really need to take off all the belts to change the shirts. I only unbuckled the first thick belt, then use something with a round tip (MJ's finger pointing hand) and tug the shirt through the belts into the pants. Not hard to do and can get it in place fairly quick. I like having the white outer shirt a bit wrinkly and sticking up on the back, as if its being blown by wind (just like in the MV). Fun stuff. While simple, the Dirty Diana accessories seems to be a pretty effective alternative look for this release. I am enjoying it for sure.
"Dirty Diana! No~!..."
