I still remember way back when the Ellies came out. People went back and forth on the likeness from the MT headsculpt. It’s a near perfect likeness to me. Way better than CC. MT could even be elevated by a custom paintjob. CC would never because the sculpt is simply not as accurate.

It’s so crappy that they didn’t use a body designed for these arms in mind. And that the arms barely even stay on. I looked back on some other ToysEra/Premium Toys figures. And I guess we could’ve had it a lot worse. Their Tyler Posey Superman and Doctor something from the Black Adam movie are...

I’ll run out of space soon 🫨

Damn cc looks so poor in comparison

The arms are extremely stiff. He is hard to pose and the seamless arms dont fit. The biceps are too large but you cant tell when he’s fully clothed.

The peg on the body theyre using is not long enough to actually connect. It seems the body that they were designed for is not the body they ended up using.

Using the CCtoys body I was able to get some sort of rifle holding pose out of him. This is going to be impossible with the stock body. The arms will just fly all around the place.

Achieving such a pose is nearly impossible considering the arms keep falling off.

WAIT LMAO. I found something!! For the sake of it I tried the Toys Era seamless arms on the Joel Cctoys body. And guess what.. THE ARM CONNECTED! It’s actually attached. I think CCtoys uses recasts of a standard hot toys body. This means ToysEra didnt design the seamless arms to be used with...

I immediately notice my hand can’t hold the revolver tightly like that at all. And the inside of the shirt is a very white color in the final, which doesn’t look very good when you roll up his sleeves. Whereas in the prototype the rolled up sleeves don’t nearly have as much of a color...

Because of this issue Joel can only hold his guns and accessories in very awkward positions. I just had a rage attack because I’m trying to figure out a pose but the arms just keep falling off. I give up Museum pose for now. I had a hard time rolling up the sleeves and the arms keep...

Used End I Toys chainsaw man arms. Ok so the seamless arms are a major pain in the ass, especially the gripping hands. What a mess. They are twisted in a weird pose. Whereas other seamless arms I have are in a neutral pose, making you able to use the bicep swivel to rotate them. It’s almost...

The seamless arms are very different from the Kai Studios arms. They’re nicely painted with lots of texture. The arms are a little bit pale but it’s close enough for me.

You cant really see it with clothes on fortunately but the arms are way too muscular for Pedro Pascal. Body is reminiscent of a hot toys captain America body.

It’s a great figure but for a figure that was a year late it does feel rushed as hell. Lots of small inconsistencies that add up.
