Whats wrong with the body? Looks perfect to me :violin :rock

I could give you my perspective on it, since I liked that comment... but I'm pretty sure no one wants to hear it. It's probably best to just enjoy the hype and wait for the figure to release first and seeing more pictures before coming to any real conclusions...
 
Even if we develop a specific body type for the character, most people might find it satisfactory, while others may still replace it with different bodies to achieve their desired effects. The definition of perfection is not absolute - there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people’s eyes. And customizability is precisely the charm of action figures :D

Great job on John! I only ask for the ammo. All pics show him almost completely out just like Arthur. We need the bullets for these cowboys. Please, please, please, give John the proper send off! Load em up and ship em out 🍻 and if you could throw in an extra bag of bullets with our sickly Arthur sculpts I wouldn’t mind 😊

I had a feeling you would say that lol.

The body is way too wide in the shoulders and slims down too much in the waist. If you’re happy with it then that’s good though.

I actually think the waist is just fine, it's just the shoulders that are too broad for John. To me this looks more like Arthurs build.
John is more of a slender type. At least in my opinion.

Please excuse my poor photoshop skills. But to me it would look perfect like this:

It's really only the shoulder width, the rest looks absolutely awesome. But for me that's the reason I will absolutely change the body for this figure. And I've always loved the LIM Toys bodies so far. But maybe that's just me... And please note that I'm not complaining. It's just one thing I noticed for myself.

I'm just happy that John is about ready to head out personally! He looks pretty incredible to me, there's no other figure out there for him that looks anywhere close to what LIM is giving us here. I'm extremely satisfied and happy to see his final form just from the one photo so far.
 
I'm really happy as well. John is one of my favorite video game characters. Even more so than Arthur because Red Dead Redemption started for me with the first game. A figure is long overdue in my opinion and I'm glad that it's LIM that finally tackled him. The leather work and the overall quality looks stunning. I don't think any other company would have done the character more justice. So I am still very much excited and thankful. Please don't get me wrong.

I get it and agree 👍 When in hand we feel John is too big next to Arthur, then some will make a switch. Some love stock right out of the box and some love to make changes. Happens all the time in this hobby and part of what makes it great.

Personally I prefer more athletic built on myself and on the figures as well lol so I love John as is, but I agree figure body looks slightly stronger with that V shape, in game model is slimmer.

Thanks. I agree, it happens all the time in this hobby and it's not meant as an insult. It's just somehow in a LIM thread I feel that whenever you say something that isn't 100 % perfection and 200 % satisfaction people immediately frown upon you...
But maybe I'm just imagining it... still somehow I always feel guilty. So please don't mind me 🙇‍♂️

Don't Arthur and John figures share the same body? Looks pretty similar to me, don't think John gonna be larger than Arthy.

Well, I don’t know if they’re on the same body, or not from the promo pics. Could be, but hard to tell with all the layers of clothing 🤷🏻‍♂️ And I didn’t say John would be bigger 🤔 I said if John looks too big next to Arthur, then some will make a body swap. Now you could probably get away with it if displaying a sickly Mr. Morgan once his new sculpt is released. I won’t know, until I have it in hand and see them side by side.

Yeah, I mean there are definitely some that take it as a knock on Lim, but it’s not. Trying to make something closer to what you think it should be is just a part of the hobby. At the end of the day we just want the best figure possible, so being quiet doesn’t help. Like I’ve been sounding like a broken record talking about the lack of ammo, but it needs to be said. Hopefully they listen and understand that Cowboys with empty bandoliers and gun belts are f’d in the Wild West :lol
