I was doing some testing on the rubber. Left it at a full bend for 3 days. This is the result. You can see the white crease forming where the bend happens:

Why stress test the rubber? Bad enough the joint is garbage, you dont wanna break the rubber, theres no going back after that brah.

Random pic. Im in the middle of trying to get him in a new pose im happy with. So while he is out i tried him with the gun

Nice pose Kiva, I had wanted to use the gun as my first thought when I ordered, but after the whole elbow thing I wanted to find a pose that didn't require bending the elbow, that's why I went with this pose

The gecco statue pose is actually a good option. Maybe holding a sheathed murasama on the off hand.
 
The gun pose is cool but while using it id remove the sheath.

When i get inferno raiden, i may take the sheath off the black version, give him the gun and give him infernos digital display visor to make it look Ground Zeroes version
 
There is a high chance they'll give us a ground zeroes version... toy companies love abusing the consumer's weakness to color variants.
 
^ Dont say that... because id buy a White version too -_-

Due to the OCD and compulsion i have that eats away at me every day i had to take some new pictures with the visor on and the sheath off after reading the comment ;_;

I essentially wanna do as shown above but with the Inferno versions visor. Adjust the arms slightly but thats just a nitpick. Or i may just have the inferno version with the gun and the visor and have black version as the sword weilder. Not sure, but thats why im wanting to have the inferno version as well as the regular. Possibilities are far more open for display. I dont intend to have them both look the same but a different colour
 
yeah i feel the same way. im not going to do the jamais vu with the hot toys but i want 2 different versions with 2 totally different poses. i need a dynamic stand badly.
 
Im not too sure id reccomend the dynamic stands for this figure. I made one with Raiden in mind, and i took a few pictures using it. But the gripper feels too dangerous to use long-term because it crushes the " cables " that connect raidens upper torso and lower torso. I took it off the stand yesterday to repose it and i noticed that it looked like it made an indentation in the rubber ( or plastic, whatever the cables are made of ). It felt like if id of left it on too much longer or something it has the potential to break them. Theres no safe way around the torso of the body to grapple the figure with the grip without it crushing or pushing aside some of the cables
 
my cables are kind of long, ill check it out and if i dont like it ill sell it or just use it on another figure. i have an auction where i have a bid on one, theres 4 hours left on it. im gonna forget about it and if i get it it was meant to be otherwise ill just forget about it.
 
I have and i did. I have the collectors edition and the uk steelbook edition. Btw, rising isnt my favorite game i just like metal gear in general, the avitar i put there was when the ht raiden came in.
