Theres3 more pics and then ill add what I did, be patient

Yupp that mod is a must.

Now for the part about how it's done

Did you take the right peck piece off and re-position it?

 

[LipSmack]

So basically what i did was remove the chest plate, then I removed the pex areas and fitted them for re alignment, I glued the upper parts back in first to make sure they were lined up right, then I repositioned and lined up the under " bra" area, glued it back into place, the put the chest back on to the figure. Hope this helps

Please do not do this if you feel uncomfortable, it will ruin your figure if you screw up

 

[intothevoid]

Well you seem to have done a remarkably clean job of it.

It must be done.

 

[LipSmack]

Keep added more pics let me know if it helps

 

[Maglor]

Now explain what I'm looking at here. You removed the lower chest part and put it back in I can see, but why was it no longer crooked when you put it back in???

 

[intothevoid]

Because he re-positioned it to line it up. Seems pretty clear to me

 

[LipSmack]

Yeah it was basically a dry fit, I typed up a brief summary above
Basically separate the 2x carbon Fibre pex area and the "bra " area. Then position the pex pieces so that line up and then fit the "bra" back into place and line it all up the right miss aligned piece was just moved over a smidgen, poor positioning on the factory workers part I guess

It just sounds too simple. It's a solid piece of plastic. A fixed shape. I can only comprehend "repositioning" some kind of a decal that is on the chest plate, not the chest plate itself...

But it's perfectly consistent in every picture of the figure including the prototype.



To be clear, I'm not at all calling you a liar, I just really don't understand.

No its a soft plastic, a separate piece of software plastic the pics show the piece removed. And I know you aren't calling me a liar I just suck at describing these things, I usually just do them and keep it to myself
I just know when I got in there it looked like it wasn't glued properly, the first chest piece pic shows the backside you can see its off
