Step 1: Make sure to use white gloves.
--I didn't have any problem getting lots of nice poses with the new knees.
Most of you all can't futz properly let alone pose your figures.
HELL . . . I can't even open and properly set up the majority of the stuff I buy. I've been sick with bronchitis and recovering for the past two weeks and I can't find the time to open anything (busy being medicated or sleeping). Those who can't "futz" properly are way ahead of me.

LOL the new ratchet knees still suck...I like the way they were (Duke,Firefly,Flint) there were no issues with those knee joints to begin with

I have a spare regular pro that has them. Not sure which Indy figure it's from, but they were definitely used before this.

i don't really care for the new knee joints. i don't think there was anything wrong with the knees that they needed to be redesigned. the hip joints were the worst on the first pro bodies.

Oooohhhh! Do they have a "futzing" edition??
I just packed up my Beachhead to send him back to Sideshow for an exchange. Apparently I had too many problems to just send out the replacement parts 
What was wrong with yours Buttmunch?

I should have done that, but like an idiot I jumped the gun and started modding without checking the figure first (broke one of my rules)
. On my BH the emblem on the beret was crooked and I just found out I got 2 sets of fist. I'm missing the open hand and right grasping one.
Got this figure today. Was going to pick up Hot Toys Charlie Sheen first, but. . .this is ____ing GI Joe and that trumps Charlie ____ing Sheen.
Awesome toy. ____ Charlie Sheen.

As I wrote on my review on the Sideshow site, Beachhead is THE crown jewel of what should be Sideshow's flagship 1/6 line.
Inspired by one of my favorite movies, G.I. Jane, and one of my favorite actors portraying an awesome character, I got Beachhead a sniper rifle (HK 417) a la Viggo Mortensen's Master Chief John James Urgayle in the final scene of the movie where the SEAL team enters Libya to provide exfiltration support to a Ranger team.
I'm glad I snagged two extra mags to fill his tactical vest as well (though I wish I had grabbed the extra pistol mags, as well - TA's all out now).
Picked up an extra boot knife for Duke as well.
Red Ninja will be cool and all, but I want more military guys. Can't wait for Dusty, and whoever follows. Look forward to Hawk, but I hope we get another field ops guy before we get the top brass.

What wasn't wrong with him?
At least 2 of the vest pouches were too small to hold the machine gun magazines.
That large seperate belt was sewn crooked so some of the loops were the various things attach were sewn shut.
And then to top things off both heads were painted sloppy. The masked head had mask paint on his cheeks. The unmasked head was growing stubble on his nose.
And for the price we are paying for these now, those mistakes were just unacceptabe. So I'll be getting a replacement once they get the dud back.
Sad thing was I just got my extra BH parts from TA today (extra 2 mags for the vest with the too small pouches) and Flint clips for the vest as well (only needed three so I didn't bother getting offical BH ones).
Look the thread over. .
Only now do I regret cancelling my pre order. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu that looks ridiculously awesome!
