About the same. People complained about loose ankles, but mine were fine. Held poses. Everything.
Ok thx. I'm more concerned about the arms though cause i want some saber poses. And i've heard about arms not being able to hold the rex holo up...I dunno maybe i should just bite if it's like the hobbits cause they didn't bother me.

I've owned all of them, only problem I had was keeping Clonobi's left arm extended straight out as i think the armor added extra weight to it. Overall, I would say it's worth it. I found the Hobbit bodies loose but everything seemed to hold poses okay. Clonobi is about the same. Hope that helps and i would say in the words of Rocky "Go for it."
And bought! Thanks for the answers guys.

Looks like people are ignoring you here too!
There are several different ways to age/weather clothing. Some people bury it in dirt for a couple of weeks-month (not recommended as you have absolutely no control whatsoever over how much/little it's aged), some hit it lightly with bleach and then redye (which works but makes it a bit too brittle), some run it through a washer/drier many, many times and some use the sandpaper method. I'd try the latter and constantly double-check to make sure you're getting the results you're looking for. It takes just as much time and patience to weather clothes as it does to weather armor, so don't rush anything. I am sure there are as many methods out there as there are customizers.Hope that helps.

As far as the cloak material, it looks to me like they hit it with some sandpaper and then drybrushed it with a bit of watered down white paint to give it that faded look.

Great price... he's not the best figure ever, but still a pretty cool entry into the SW series.
