Body swap, not futzed. Proportions wise maybe the head might sit a little higher and the legs are a bit too long, even though they are the same height as the stock body. Thoughts? Collection is ouf for dusting. Apologies for the dust and the unfinished Deckard, sooner or later I'll resort to water treat him...

Looks great.

The thing is, I reckon Mac looks damn good. Sometimes we expect toooo much. I am reminded, whenever possible keep it simple.
While I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a higher level of competency and execution at this price point, I do think this is a very decent figure if you can accept that this isn't really a high end figure and don't try to compare it to, say, Hot Toys. Folks were comparing this negatively to old Sideshow figures but at least this guy has reasonably tight joints and just looks good on the display. Something you can't say for the vast majority of SSC figures prior to, say, the Joe line (and some of those had very loose joints).
