Fixing the KANE and DALLAS low head problem in 5 minutes !

[Private McLEOD]

Hi guys,
I just received my Dallas. This figures goes beyond my expectations in every aspects. The lights fonctions are amazing features. That said, the head being very low in the helmet really bugged me. This is something I just can't elude. So, yesterday, I watched the movie again and this is obvious that the head should be centered in the helmet to be movie accurate. I started to elaborate complicated processes to extend the neck with putty or redone the helmet padded base, etc.
Then, I seen a loose HT neck post in my spare item box... The solution is ridiculously obvious and simple. I think maybe some people here would find it helpfull.

Take a Hot Toys neck post and saw off the upper part.

Then Superglue the lower part on Dallas neck.

THAT'S IT !!! You've got a better proportionned and movie accurate Dallas.

Hope this helps.
Sylvain

doesn't really bother me but great help !

Doesn't it look like his neck is really long though ?.

 

[SpawnFan]

Yeah his neck looks a bit long even with the helmet on, I'd rather have mine the way they should be.

who in the right mind would display Kane normal until a new sculpt is available , plus Dallas didn't get hugged.

We have to honor Ridley and the way he made things !!.

I'll have to wait until I have mine in hand, but I think it's fine as is.

I think the whole sitting low thing has gone a bit far. As I said in my video review I did on youtube it did appear really low at first but in hand I think its fine and looks awesome.
Besides I would rather have a low head because I would always know under the suits top half it looks like this.

LOVE that shot with Kane / Facehugger... I really want to display it minus the facehugger but now dammit I'm tempted to buy two somehow so I can do that!!

 

[BuGz]

Great idea!!!!

I'll be trying that out soon as I get my figures!!!

Thanks for sharing!!

[Elder_Predator2]

I'm sorry, but the neck just seems to look funy. I think the way it was was perfect, now it kinda looks.......off.
