Hey guys, where can I find some of those stormtrooper guns in the pic above? The one with the strap, BlasTech T-21. I've looked everywhere. Thanks!

21st Century/Ultimate Soldier made that gun as part of a British Arms carded set a couple of years ago in tan. I converted one for my Sandtrooper and it looks pretty good.
 
I have always been of the mind that it is more the pleather body suit than the armor that affects the articulation of the Medicom figures. So I took it off and replaced it with a Hasbro stretchy spandex-type body suit which is much thinner. The results were as I expected. MUCH better articulation. I will get a few more pics up after a while.

Here are some more shots. Of the 4 pics, the things I notice the most are being able to get the blaster closer to the face for a better "aiming" look, the arms hanging closer to the body in the neutral pose, and being able to get the figure into a good kneeling position. I will be doing a prone position as well. I can't wait to get the long blasters and the white clones so I can set this guy up commanding a few of the troopers!

Great idea. It looks a lot more natural now.
 
Nice shots, Darth Cruel,,,

But he's so clean! It's great how well the Hasbro body suit works with it, looks great (espcially the aiming pose)....

LOL - I like them clean, though. They are formation ready. If I end up with another (if the go on clearance) I may try my hand at some weathering.

I will need to develope a talent for that, though.
 
Here are a couple of shots in the prone position. The articulation is improved with the thinner body suit, but the armor does detract a little from the arms coming in closer to the face.

One thing I noticed from the neutral pose shot and the prone pose...


the arms are dis-proportionately short on these figures.

There is an indentation on the back side of the fin at the tip where I imagine the light should be. But it is not painted to be the light. It is the same yellow as the rest of the markings.
 
I could have edited this pic into my last post, but I didn't think am email would got to you, LMZ. But here is a pic of the back of the fin.

Just got mine. 99.9% satisfied. Only problem I have with him is the wrists are swivel joints instead of ball, so he has up and down wrist movement, but not side to side. Not a big deal though. I'll snap some pics tonight.

That added wrist joint articulation would have been helpful for some of the aiming poses, though. That is a mark for Sideshow's Buck. That one will rotate either way.
