Re: Kaustic Plastik: HEROIK MUSCLE BODY ***PRODUCTION PICTURES PAGE 26!!!!

Quick pic. Overall pretty happy with this body. Like the matte color of the body. Stands well. Legs seem long and could use some bulk. I'm not keen on the shoulders. Would like them to look more like HT's, but it isn't a deal breaker. The forearms were bothering me to no end. They just didn't look right. I'd pose the arms and the elbows didn't seem to line up well and the forearms looked funky. Agonistes86 might be right that they are on the wrong arms. The pic was taken prior to ready agonistes86's post.

You can see that they've inserted the arms wrong. Look at your own arms, the curve is on the inside, the outside of your arm is flat.

Hopefully, you can just pull them out at the elbow joint and swap them, otherwise it's kind of a bonehead mistake to make. Just goes to show, them factory workers don't give a care. It's tough to get it right unless you're right there looking over their shoulder.

Huh, thats kinda a bummer, wonder if its on all of them. Not sure if it really is on the wrong side but it could be, doesnt seem to be to big of a deal and I'm still glad to have these coming ether way. My first set is due tuesday and my other set is still sitting in the bbts warehouse for two days now

Thanks man. Still a long way to go, will need different pants and a shirt, and the gloves need some work. I have all the stuff for the venom unit here, just have to build it.

On another note, there's something I just realized when messing around with him. The forearms are switched! The left should be on the right and vice versa. Looking back at the pics on the last 10 pages, all of them seem to have the same problem. I'll heat up some water and try to switch them tomorrow.
I think the arms will look a lot better after the switch, like I mentioned in the last post the transition at the elbow bothered me, and I think this might be part of the problem.

Mate... your forearms are perfectly assembled Maybe you can like it flipped.. but I can assure you that are in the position I designed

Not are not... I don't understand why this person think that are flipped.. I designed personally this figure, so I know what I mean

Yeah I never noticed an issue with them before and even after it was pointed out I could'nt be sure there was an issue, but if you say there correct I believe you I can't wait to get my four I ordered, first set will be in my hands tuesday and bbts sent out my headless set today

Great body don't get me wrong, but there is something funky about those forearms. I bought two, from the one I opened I can see that the two forearms are two different sculpts. The right arm has a more raised inner muscle. On left arm the inner and outer sections are very equal in how they protrude outward. You designed it so I'll take your word that they correctly assembled. If anything the right one is sculpted akwardly.

No wait.. the inner muscle we designed should be internal (left and right).
I will post a picture.
If one inner muscle is internal and other external, it means that you have ore two left forearms ore two right forearms
I don't know if it's you case!!
Of course the two forearms are quite similar, so it's possible that on a mass production some workers can assemble it wrong!
If you post me detailed picture of the back of your body I can tell you if are wrong or not

Re: Kaustic Plastik: HEROIK MUSCLE BODY ***PRODUCTION PICTURES PAGE 26!!!!

Here is a comparison picture of the Kaustic Plastik and the Hot Toys Arnold.
The forearms should have (if correctly assembled) with the internal muscle a bit rised on.
If yours have both left and right internal muscle a bit rised on, it is assembled how I designed
If not, you can of course use a hairdryer to make the arm hot, and unplug easly and switch.

I'm sorry Fabio, but mine are definitely flipped. It's no big deal and I'll just switch them, but I thought I should mention it because I've seen a lot of pictures with the same problem.

Here are some comparison pics with your latest prototype shots:

As you can see here, the lower arms are exactly the same: veins, raised parts etc. One is the left, the other the right though.

edit:

Of course the two forearms are quite similar, so it's possible that on a mass production some workers can assemble it wrong!

Yes, this is exactly what I mean. It has nothing to do with the original sculpt, it's just the way it's assembled at the factory. And judging from other pics, it has happened a lot, so it's just something you should look out for.

No mate, it's yours that is ok!!!
My prototype that I used for pictures had two RIGHT forearms
My prototype was assembled just for pictures, and at the time of the picture the mold was not yet finished So I used two right forearms I was hoping nobody will notice that my prototype was a bit different! You have a good eye!!!

Here's the pic Doc. What's the diagnosis? Am I good to go or do I need surgery?

 

[Kaustic Plastik]

Re: Kaustic Plastik: HEROIK MUSCLE BODY ***PRODUCTION PICTURES PAGE 26!!!!

Correctly assembled
As you can see both arms have the internal muscle rised in the direction of the body.
So this is correct.

I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then. I just switched the forearms, and it looks a lot more natural now. Cross-referencing my anatomy book and looking at my own arms, all the muscles are in the right place now as well.
