Bump for questions

Mine had just arrived. Helmet's not as bad as I expected, tailoring is decent but not perfect (one or two loose threads), and all the joints are solid on mine except for his right shoulder being REALLY tight (as in, creaking-so-loud-like-a-dead-cat-that-I'm-scared-to-move-it-too-much-in-fear-of-breaking-the-damn-thing-inside kind of tight).

Still, overall I'm pretty happy with it out of the box and I'll probably post some photos tomorrow with the dynamic stand.

Anyone figure out how to remove all the clothes?

From what I can gather with mine, take off the head and arms*. Remove the cape (which is clipped onto a button on his collar piece) then you remove the vest using the zipper at the back. Removing the rest seems straight forward enough but I haven't really tried it since I'm pretty content with the body they used.

EDIT - take off the head and arms *

I meant "hands" not arms! HANDS!

Thank you very much. I'm new to the hobby and didn't realize the arms could be removed from the torso.

I goofed when typing that, I actually meant his hands.

That's gonna be hard then

I'd be more worried about stretching out the sleeves while taking the shirt off. The waist on mine is pretty loose, not sure how to fix something like that.

 

[lordregnis]

Even the pants are tight. Still can't get them off either

I'm very happy with this figure now that I have it in hand. I still hate the base, though. What would you guys recommend? Should I just get a dynamic stand for him?

 

[DasMuse]

I really like this figure... I'm hoping they (or any company) make a horseman of apocalypse version too.

So far toys era hasn't responded to my second email with pics I sent them. I don't think they're going to help me

Finally got my figure yesterday. I'm quite happy with it. Don't seem to be any cosmetic issues with it. Haven't tried posing yet. The proportions seem fine. Doesn't seem to thin. I do think the forearms might be a shade long with those long gloves on. Not a big deal though. Bring on the rest!

Finally took some photos of him.

No mods on the helmet and I still haven't ironed out the cape. I basically posed it as-is with some minor futzing.

Minor issues aside, I really really really love this guy. I've always wanted a Fassbender Magneto, so I'm really happy that Toys Era took to the challenge in making one themselves.

Just opened mine. Got it the other day. So far he looks damn good, not Hot Toys quality but like 75% there. So glad I got him.

Will post some pics tomorrow

HT would be double the price too LOL

I'm very excited for this guy. He should arrive in another week! Keep the pics coming guys I'm loving them!

I like it a lot too, it's definitely not perfect but more than I was ever expecting. What mods were you thinking about doing to the helmet?

Well not really so much as actual mods but I just heated up the helmet using a hair dryer and tried to draw the "flaps" inwards. Dipped it into some cold water and now they're much closer to his cheeks. I'll see if I can post some new photos of it.
