Brother Production - "EXCEPTION" Dream Extractor

[FLOSI]

Great figure. Especially for that price.

Thanks, Zach! I don't grab much outside of SW as of late but I've had my eye on adding a Cobb to my collection for sometime.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, it displays easily and the headsculpt and suit are at least HT quality.

 

[Maglor]

Just picked this up for 93 shipped... What's the thought on this piece?

That it's awesome. And that it benefits from a body swap. The body is the only weak spot on this figure.

And that's a great price. Almost makes me wanna buy another one.

 

[FLOSI]

Narrow shoulder TT, Mags?

 

[ZaCHw117]

I think that's what he used. Don't get Mags wrong, the body is pretty good. Mine is still on the regular body, the only upside to switching it out is to do more dynamic poses. But it seems to work fine for me. I think they may have upgraded the body in the newer batch. (the one I have).

He sanded down the forearms (as usual).

 

[Maglor]

Yep, narrow worked great. I don't have him in a dynamic pose and I can tell the diffence. There is very little shoulder articulation on this body (and the shoulders are very square), so he just doesn't look natural IMHO.

I have both heads on display, and the one with the suit does have shortened forearms - sanded to fit.

 

[Maglor]

Just looked at some of the recent pics in here again, and he does look decent on the stock body. I just don't like the restrictions in the articulation department.

If you got a spare "no name" TT, I say use it.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, like I said. I'm pretty sure they updated the stock body to a no name TT or something similar.

 

[Maglor]

Really? I didn't catch that.

Would be curious to see it...

 

[ZaCHw117]

Yeah, I was expecting something a lot more stiff like what you were describing. But it's actually a decent knock-off.

I don't feel like undressing him though.

 

[Maglor]

Oh yeah, I wouldn't ask you to do that.

But if someone did a swap and has a picture of the newer body I would be curious to see it.

 

[ZaCHw117]

Okay, I thought you were hinting at it.

Some pics I snapped tonight:

 

[Maglor]

Lookin' good. Did you glue the top to his hand?

Okay, I thought you were hinting at it.

Believe me, I know better than anyone - once you get a figure futzed the way you want it, the last think you want to do is strip it down!

 

[ZaCHw117]

Nope, top is just set on there.

 

[Maglor]

I've almost lost it once or twice trying to get it to balance in there...

 

[ZaCHw117]

I use tweezers.

It's all locked up in my cabinet. So if it does fall it's not going anywhere.

 

[Maglor]

I can get it in his hand, it just falls out every time. I'm gonna use a tiny dab of Quick Grip glue to hold it in place.

 

[ZaCHw117]

That should do the trick.

 

[FLOSI]

Why sand the forearms?

 

[ZaCHw117]

TT's forearms are to long, which makes them distracting for some folks.
