Hey, hey!
Looks like a great setup.

It definitely is. I left you some positive feedback a few days ago.

Yep. Thanks for that. I have left yours for you. Sorry about the delay.

That won't help with obtaining the V shape though but I think you are right the perfect body would be TTM20 body, which is believed to be the body they used for the proto.

I have heard it said about that proto that they might have used the MOS body.

Well both were mentioned, MOS torso or TTM20 body, of course this was just speculation by a fellow freak on here, so nothing has been confirmed. So are the necks on those bodies as rubbery as the ones on the Christopher Reeve body?

In hindsight, I'd rather HT leave the neck seam on the HS rather than sacrificing the figure's proportions.

Besides, a "cut" HS gives an additional articulation at the neck.

Yeah. But it would never have been the TTM20. It's gigantic.

All you need to do is go back to the beginning of this thread. The masked and unmasked heads had articulation. Then everyone moaned about it. And HT changed it, lol.

I didn't think it was the complaints on the forums that changed it.

HT seemed set on having a seamless HS from the beginning, which is probably why the promo pics of the Rogers sculpt were all photoshopped to be without neck seams.

It's probably not either then, because the lower torso on the MOS body is too long just like the Reeve one is. So is the TTM20 body as big as an Arnold body?

No someone posted pictures of the protos from comic con a few pages back and the heads on them were ball jointed.

I combined the original t-800 body and the reeves body and I think it looks pretty good. I posted it a few pages back but didn't get any feedback on it.

Yeah I was confused by that and meaning to ask you, what parts did you combine? Was it the upper Reeve Torso and bottom Arnie torso and were the legs and arms from Arnie as well?

 

[cadaver202]

The upper torso is the t-800, the lower torso and legs are reeve and the arms are the strike suit arms.

 

[Darkavatar]

The upper torso is the t-800, the lower torso and legs are reeve and the arms are the strike suit arms.

It does look good as the pecs seem to be in the right place unlike the Reeve upper torso, but why did you use the lower torso for Reeve? Was the Arnold lower torso too big and not skinny enough for the body to form that V shape?

All set for Cap... He will be here tomorrow.

Incidentally I now have a pair of Rogers' jeans and boots that I don't need. Turns out they are too big for Wolverine.

Haha, you were able to get a head sculpt from toyanxiety??!! I thought you just missed out too. Where did you get the shield?

Ya the lower torso is huge on the t-800 as well as the butt and legs. The reeves torso gave it a nice v shape.

My Strike Suit fig is coming in today. Is the rubberband mod the best thing on the table as far as modding this fig goes?

Other than swapping the body, I would say yes if I do say so myself. However, while it does give the body a V shape, the lats will look flat and thus, will not bulge out like the Reeve body. Basically it just gives shape to the fat suit but the body still won't look like the pic below because the lats are just too flat to give it that rounded shape along the sides.

It will just look like a relatively flat line from waist to arm pit like it does here.

I don't see how that's related to HT's promo shots?



I don't see any neck seams in the promo shots of Rogers.
So, fair to say a seamless HS was what HT was aiming for in the first place.

 

[Darth Zangetsu]

How hard is it to remove the suit to switch the bodies? I thought the top half did not come off the body.

Darkavatar you were the one I saw the rubberband mod from. It seemed the simplest mod to give the fig a bit more definition.
