Not yet, im just content it arrived with nothing broken. Only thing to note is one of the circular, cap looking things had popped off the back of 1 of his legs and it just needed pushed back on. Once i start feeling brave ill start to try more articulation and the electronics but for not im just happy to have it!

RAY's legs move, but not too much:
- The yellow (middle) segment of the leg got only 2 options os stance
- The lower segment has 3 options

Took 2 pics, one with RAY in one of the lowest stances, and other with one of the highest it's can.
(raiden PAK for size comparisons)

That fist shot looks awesome. Even though the legs don't articulate too well, it's nice to see RAY in a dynamic pose.

It moves pretty well, but not up to RAY's true maneuverability. There are some iconic poses that are impossible to get, 2 exemples:

Swimming (RAY can not stretch it's legs the way it should)
Deactivated mode (Almost perfect, but only the legs won't sit in the right position)

 

[Solidus]

That's really unfortunate. I wonder why they made the legs so stiff when they provided a pretty sturdy figure stand .

 

[Snake Plissken]

That's pretty much the same leg position I'm using on mine. I wish the legs were just on ball joints, but the weight would massively affect them.

Moving Rex today. I hate that the middle covers are unattached. It really hinders posing it. What a stupid design choice. Even kotobukiyas much smaller Rex has swivel joints.

Perfect collectible if you don't touch. Ray doesn't have those issues does it?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Which covers do you mean?

RAY doesn't have any glaring problems, no like REX can have. RAY's head on mine doesn't turn the same distance equally to left and right. The cockpit can be weird, and the arms that hold onto the plastic clear "roof" of the cockpit can come out of the ball joints on mine. It's a delicate process closing it back up. The left foot has a paint mark on it.

I mean this sounds worse than it is, but I'm very happy with RAY. REX had way more problems.

Here, lots of pics on RAY's legs movements
(No Ray's were injured in making those pics!)

I may have to mess with the hips on mine...

 

[Solidus]

In preparation for the missionary position for REX?

 

[Snake Plissken]

The Railgun needs a wide berth.

 

[Solidus]

Why the rail gun, when REX can use the articulated laser canon on its crotch?

 

[Snake Plissken]

That design choice by Shinkawa I'm sure raised a few eyebrows around Konami's offices

Although I can't see the laser in another position, it's perfect for any ground forces in it's blind spot.

Makes more sense on Rex than on Jehuty

 

[Solidus]

^Yup .

 

[Snake Plissken]

Cockpit indeed

BTW $78.99 a fair price for PAK Solidus? How is that figure?
