Sideshow Snake Eyes Photo Thread

[The Chaver]

I've tried both Chaver, and the Saturday Toys Body really will look better, wait and see.

I've heard really good things about it. We'll see.

Unfortunately, that's the wrong end of the peg.

It is a picture of an old body. I just wanted to show Chaver that the ball joint is almost the same size as the Pro one, so "monkey arms" are not a factor of wrist joint but the body itself. Here is a pic of the HT wrist joint from the new Chris Redfield figure on the left and the pro on the right.

Again though, that depends on the figure. Some HT pegs have a split nipple on the end like the one on the top-left of the image below:

Right, but the different wrist pegs (HT or Pro) would not "create" the monkey arm effect.

For which body? The Pro or TT? And are you using bare hands or gloves?

It doesnt mater, Chaver was asking about the HT TT narrow having monkey arms when he put on SE gloves. He didnt know if the Snake Eyes hands, with Pro joints are causing the monkey arms with his TT narrow shoulder, because he didnt have the TT to compare how the hand would look with the HT pegs. I dont see how the SE pro wrist pegs would be the cause the monkey arms being that the ball itself is the same (or almost the same) size as the ball in the HT wrist peg. It would have to be the forearm length with the ball joint, regardless Pro or HT, that would cause the monkey arms. Personally I dont see much of the monkey arms, well not compared to Jedi Luke thats for sure.

Snake's is slightly monkey armed but he still looks great. Both the TT and the Pro wrist ball joints are the same. and yes it's the Snake eyes hands that cause him to have longer arms. No real way around, unless the fore arm was shorter. Does the ST body come with shorter fore arms ?

Masks' rant was distracting. Your problem might be the gloved hands you're using. They may not allow the pegs to sit inside of the wrist as naturally deep as they should (like they do with TT hands). Because of this, it adds a bit of length between the 2nd elbow joint and the articulated wrist, making the forearm look longer. When I switched mine over to the ST1 body, I initially had the same issue when using Snake Eyes' hands. I found a pair of black HT Hatch gloves (Secret Service Agent) that allowed the pegs to sit deeper into the wrist which alleviated the problem.

I'll have to get some of those SSA hands and try them out. I've been buying up so many parts from ebay it's not even funny.

Why didnt you say that in the first place? Dont let me distract you.

So there are different joint pegs? Or are you using said gloves on your SE.

There are different HT wrist pegs, yes. However, that's not the issue. The issue is Snake Eyes' gloves don't allow the pegs to sit deeply enough in to mimic realistic wrist placement. Instead, articulation is at the outside lip of the cuff on the glove instead of inside the cuff, at the "wrist" of the gloved hand. That's what's making Snakes look like a knuckle dragger. This is why I swapped out Snake Eyes' gloves for HotToys' Secret Service agent's.

Would Storm Shadow have the same issue if swapped to the TT? my pro has extremely loose legs/hips.

I doubt it. MANDO's didn't look monkey armed.

 

[The Chaver]

I got my ST body today and it's really cool.

Nice tight joints and really nice musclulature. I'm too lasy to switch him over though.

 

[SanShouXMA]

Here are couple of pics.

Did you mod your body? Is that the TrueType body? If so that looks nice. I modded mine with a Rocky Muscle body. But think it may be a little too bulky. I'm kind of partial to yours.

Got mine in, excellent figure imo. Body is tight, accessories are awesome and overall a very solid figure. I think there is to much stuff for him. I stripped him down and am probably gonna display his very accessory light. Just to much stuff and he looks bulk and unstealthy. I think he should be more stream line for ass kicking. Borrowed my sisters camera and snapped a few really quick pix outside.

More pics to come

That looks nice. Is that the original Pro body? I like it without all the straps and harnesses on him. I think I may do that to mine.

 

[The Chaver]

I'm sure that's the ST body. I didn't know it looked that good!? I have mine on the TT narrow right now and it doesn't look that cool!

 

[MANDO]

That's that Pro. in both pics.
