Snake627:
Thanks for posting those really awesome pics!
I don't plan on selling my figure either, so I'll try to customize it. By the way, did you cut along the glue seams? Or, did you make new cuts/rips directly on the vinyl suit?... I'm definitely going to stitch some sort of protective covering over the exposed internals.
Thank you. Glad you appreciate the pics.
I didn't cut the vinyl, I simply parted the black vinyl from the white, slowly...and with the help of a semi-cutting tool to cut the glue. The black vinyl body will have white glue residues which can easily be corrected with a permanent black marker. Be careful not to mark the white vinyl limbs (wrap/cover them with tissues) before application.
Same here, I didn't plan on selling mine either when I decided to buy it. Better stuffs with more features and functionalities get released as time goes on. A PS 2 yesterday is not as expensive when the PS3 came out. Therefore, it is both futile and impractical to buy these kinds of things in hopes of selling it later for profit. It is not an investment tool, it is a hobby. People will most always be fascinated with newer, better things.
Why I am posting here and other forums... is because this is a community.
A community is a place where we can brainstorm. Somewhere along a group of people there will be someone with brighter ideas, hopefully he'll share.
And since we're stuck with this kind of Raiden for the moment, might as well see if anyone has come up with better ideas of improving where Medicom left off. If someone has a completely dismantled Raiden we can sort it out and gain more knowledge about its parts and formulate a fool proof strategy on repairing, maintaining and improving this completely to our satisfaction.
Hopefully, we can bypass it's limitations out of production. Let's just consider that Medicom gave us an extremely expensive base foundation that we can work on. Could have been better if they left it painted but UNASSEMBLED like Gundam model kits. If so, then we can reinforce the weak spots ourselves.
Any other good ideas folks?
Here's an idea of mine I would like to share, buy BlueTack(black color), it's a reusable semi-adhesive clay-like substance. You can use it to help this figure hold the sword and knives on the mouth or the foot, or simply hold the sword in the scabbard... Or hold the Visor in place so it doesn't slide up open when Raiden is upside down.
I'm still thinking what's best to cover the opened parts.
. IF (keyword), I decide to cut my figure, I'm definitely going to stitch some sort of protective covering over the exposed internals.
is there a way to put his visors on his eyes safely?
.....no raiden is not in RE4 the vid was fan made he used the figure`as a reference.....
