It was revolutionary technology for Dragon Models... in 2003:

how the material holding up?

i think the code veronica figures use similar tech?

I sold the figure about seven years ago when I cleared out most of the Dragons, and at the time it was still in perfect condition and functional. So he lasted at least 15 years.

As I remember the skin was quite thick.

Curious what do you want the body for?

Looking good. Hoping the jacket will last.

Nice tailoring with a couple of glaring issues;

Jacket length (it's a little too short)
Jacket shouldn't have any zippers (apart from the vertical pocket) as original jacket was buttoned (although these were removed for the movie).

Thanks for the reference. Looking at that, it gives Asmus an excuse to just ditch all the zippers on the jacket, and get rid of those pulls, which are too big to start.

Really liking the overall look so far, though as others have mentioned, there are some inaccuracies. Also, the tracker is a little too slim/narrow. The actual prop was thicker and built off of a vintage hand-held "sub wars" electronic game.

it should. Supposed to be made of real, genuine leather. Though, conditioning it with some leather conditioner at least once a year should really insure it lasts even longer

Jacket was pretty worn in on film so much that there was some slight flaking around the arms due to wear and tire.

I don't think there's time for that if Asmus wants to stick to the planned release scheduled for this Spring.

Yes, the tracker was much thicker. Good call.

I know that's a minor nitpick, and not really a "must-have" accessory, but I did notice it. Hopefully @Asmus doesn't see us as being pains. I just want the best product possible, particularly with a character as iconic as Snake.

Overall looks excellent but the zipper on the jacket is a big accuracy issue. Is it too late to remove it?

It’s a real shame as the jacket would look great if these issues were addressed.
