Do you just glue the chest back on after you cut ?

Yeah. It's got one single cut down the side as normal. That's how HT get it on. They glue this after it's on. I just cut that to slide the chest cover off, then glued it again afterwards.

No worries. Thanks.
When later Hawkeye figures were parted, i stocked up on heads, just in case.

Cant say I am a fan of the arms...

They're not for everyone.
You'd either want to do it or you wouldn't.
I used to shoot compound, so it was a big issue for me that he couldn't hold the correct pose for a draw.

Forgot to ask, is this the CW headsculpt or the Aou one?

AOU. But they use the same sculpt. HT did a great job with the AOU one head, so the only subtle difference between the AOU head and the Civil War one is a paint app.
I considered stocking up on CW Hawkeye heads when TA parted them out and they were $40 apiece, but i already have 5 AOU ones, so i passed.

Thanks for the reply, Guess i'll be looking for Aou Headsculpt, this has all been very helpful. If you're ever looking to sell one, I guess i'm in the market.

While the arms aren't terrible looking I'm curious, would any of the newer Phicen male bodies work with Hawkeye, particularly from a bow firing stand point or is their articulation also not up to it?

I'm about to update mine with Phicen M32. Just need to wait until it gets here from China...

The arms on a seamless figure won't fit inside the tunic. You need a fair amount of articulation to get them into the vest.

I'm talking Avengers 1 Hawkeye, not AoU.

That's what this thread is about. You'll destroy the seamless figure and/or the Avengers Assemble Tunic trying to meld them. It's a real struggle just getting a jointed figure in the clothing.
But bash on, and post pics when you get it done.

 

[user 65500]

So I'm pretty set on picking this guy up,but just another quick question before I do. How does this guy pair with newer figures, say CW Cap or Widow, once the head is replaced of course. Does the outfit or construction of the figure hold up next to the others?

 

[Motuxmen]

Yeah he looks fine next to everyone else. Even the HS isn’t bad. Especially with the glasses on.

Hmm, you got me scared. I'm not that eager to do it anymore

His main tunic is made from a heatshrink material that is skintight around his midsection. It was a bugger to get off and then get back on again. Plus there are portions of his tunic that are superglued on. They need to be very carefully removed. That i managed was merely luck.

Sounds like a bit of a nightmare to do, I'm still curious though, can the Phicen body articulate enough to get into a realistic bow firing pose?

M33 can, I built Rambo on that body and pose it with a bow all the time.
