But that's half the fun of 1/6th scale collecting!! Whether it be the "Myatt water treatment", futzing, buying a sweater for your dolly it's all part of the enjoyment of the figure itself. Now painting on the other hand blows if you have to pay for that. But that's all subjective. Snake Eyes was cool by himself, people just wanted to kick him up a notch is all.
i added some elastic straps to SE's guantlets recently cuz i think they look funny without them. i also bulked up the arms a little by wrapping them in plumbers tape. don't know if it is very noticable in the pics but in hand he looks awesome now. i filled in the elbow joints pretty good cuz they looked so unnatural with a bent arm pose.
Looks good but....
Why are his forearms bigger than his biceps? Is he really this guy...
Here are a few pics of a very early WIP Snake Eyes to go side by side with the Sideshow version. I have to attach the head to the neck post better as if falls off easily. I have tinted goggles that I need to paint black and I need to find a good Baklava. I bought one off of ebay but it is pretty sucky so I don't have any pictures of that. I like the head but I was hoping the "soot" would wipe off easily without ruining the paint. I don't think it will but I actually don't mind it the way it is. I also would like to add some scars eventually. The weapons are being borrowed from the SS version for now. I need to retie and trim the boot laces as they are out of control.

i'm sorry for sharing. my bad. pics removed.Looks good but....

Come on man, I just having a little fun with you. I said it looked good. I wasn't trying to hurt your feelings or anything. It might have been the angle of the pictures but the forearms looked like they were bigger than the biceps.
Sorry if you took that much offense to what was meant to be a little friendly ribbing.

I bought an inexpensive 1/6th sweater from Toy Anxiety and put it on the pro under the body suit. I think it looks good because it bulks up the whole torso along with the arms.

the plumbers tape worked fine for me. i've used it before on other figures. it is better than regular tape cuz there is no sticky residue. i also like it cuz it conforms to the curves of the arm nicely. regular tape will leave ridges and wrinkles. it sucks trying to get the shirt back over it though. it has more friction than the plastic arms of the body plus the arms are thicker now and the shirt is skin tight. you can also wrap it around the elbow joints and it doesn't affect the articulation. just try it and if it doesn't work for you, rip it off. it's only $1 per roll at walmart. you can probaly find it cheaper than that. you may need a couple rolls cuz it is very thin.
I actually used something called Magic tape yesterday, it seemed to work pretty well, you could pull on it and it stetches very thin and just keep adding to it until your satisfied and no sticky residue like you said.
The shirt was a ^^^^^ to get back on though, don't know if i have the patience to do this again
I'll take a pic and post, i think he looks way better now but feedback can't hurt, i'd like to know what others think.

looks pretty good. you don't want to beef up the arms too much unless you pad the torso too. otherwise he looks disproportioned.
here's mine. this is as bulked up as i want him. not too muscular but not anorexic either.
i also added straps on the bracers, a canteen in pouch, some MREs, and a climbing rope.

I don't see Snakes as one to stop and have lunch during a mission.

, beef carrot stew... I like it though, need to keep those muscles full of protein.So he looks Good then? i thought maybe I made the biceps too big at first but once i got him dressed I thought it looked great but I might be biased.
I think it looks pretty natural.
Btw i love the Climbing Rope!!

There is a new body from TTL coming out that looks similar to the Saturday Toys. Might be worth a look.

I like that you added the rope. I am kinda suprised that sideshow didnt think of that.

WTF?! That body has nipples in the lower middle of each peck! That dude needs to get a refund on his surgery!

Odd thing about the TTL body. the torso looks more or less the same as the PRO body. the arms have a little more definition, but in the end, I'll wager it will end up looking more or less the same as the Prometheus.
