Then, after a good night's sleep, and OCD reset, you will re-look at your set... and you will fall in love all over again.
Yea sorta what happened to me. I would suggest, wait to open until you actually have time to open and really take it all in. When I first opened, I was just quickly going through things to make sure nothing was broken or missing and it sorta took away from the whole thing as I had to ge track to work.
It wasn’t until later in the evening when I posted my second set of thoughts, that I actually had time to really go through it all and really appreciate the craftsmanship
Can someone shed light on how hard it is to completely undress and redress this figure? I am thinking that the tie and shirt might be tricky?
It’s really no different than redressing any other suited figure to be honest. Just gotta take your time and use tweezers. As I mentioned previously, the tie has a buckle on the loop that hides under the collar that you’ll adjust to loosen or tighten. Not difficult at all, just need to be patient.
Others may have alternate methods but here’s what I did:
-removed purple coat, sports coat and vest. I didn’t remove the shirt or pants
-lift up shirt collar to remove tie
-loosen tie with the aforementioned buckle, then put back over shirt collar with shirt collar still flipped upward
-put the head on with shirt collar still flipped upward. Lightly hold the head in place as you tug on the collar to get it out of the way of the neck connector so that you’ll get full contact.
-tighten the tie as much as you’d like to get the collar to close at the front. Take your time as it will be tricky with the rooted hair
-flip shirt collar back down and futz accordingly until the collar and tie look right
-put green vest back
in on, but don’t close it just yet.
-put sports coat on and make sure shirt sleeves make it down the coat sleeves. This might be a little tough, but just use your tweezers and take your time
-purple
cost coat goes on pretty easily and you’ll see by doing so, the more square look just sort of naturally happens.
-once you have all the layers on, close up the green vest and make sure you have the collar points down, touching or just under the front edge of the vest.
-lastly, futz with the sports coat so it sits right between the vest and purple coat.
