[wookster]

He's been out for a while, but with Barnes imminent arrival I figured it was time for a good look over Taylor, and he's a very strong figure!

Not Feeling those pics with the helmet on It's sitting way too high. Kinda looks like those helmets the British wore in Africa during the Zulu wars.

I don't know how Hot Toys did it, but I just couldn't get the helmet to sit right with the head piece that was meant to be used with the helmet. I agree with those who decided to go without it. Looks a little more aesthetically pleasing. . . . . .

Could this be converted to a drunken Charlie Harper from Two and a Half Men?

You'd have to do some sculpy work under the headband and give him some new hair.

and yep the helmet fits better without either of the hairpieces and aided by some bluetack.

I'll give the 'no hair' thing a go, that does sit a lot better. Cheers

You can't just load a LAW like that, can you?

 

[DeadLeaves]

Nah, I'm pretty sure they were a pre-loaded one shot weapon. Discard after use.

Cool pic though!

I've been told by those in the know that my LAW pics would actually result in serious injury or death, but hey, I'll never need to fire one!

Putting it in through the front would result in the back of the rocket to slam against the firing mechanism, allowing a chance of actually launching it into your face.
