I don’t know, I tried this with mine but I feel like the bottom (top?) of the neck is too wide for the neck opening on the body so I just left it as is. You can push the head down far enough that it looks fine.

No lie this looks amazing. I'll have to buy one and get Ellie also. I liked the show enough for what it was and some things taken out or add weren't the best choices but still a great show overall.

So, we had the missing holster and knife sheath.
Then the missing flask handles.
Now we get a bait and switch.
Remember this...
...and we get what looks like this instead:
Maybe it just looks bad because of the video?
No, it's confirmed to be "resin".

Alrighty then. First impressions right out the box, no futzing or digging deep into anything and I'm really impressed. Lots of accessories that are mostly well done. Some diecast pieces, like the 2 canteens, revolver, knife, and canned food. Odd choice to make the sniper rifle out of resin, but it at least has a working bolt. The shovel is resin too. The AR is fine. Regular plastic. The weathering could be better, but easy fix. The backpack and bed roll are nicely done. The flashlight is very well done as are the watches. Arms and hands are very detailed and very well done. Not sure what these beef jerky looking things are.
Now for the figure. I think it's awesome. Sculpt is very well done and painted nicely painted. The clothing is mostly great, except the jeans. I'll likely be swapping them out if weathering doesn't help. It's been a while since I had anything from Toys Era, and they did not disappoint here.
Oh, and the knife and revolver holsters were included in a separate bag.

He mentioned the jeans not looking good.
They don't. A quick fix I've used in the past is to rub chalk into them on the areas that get the most wear - knees, pocket edges, and so on. A light application all over is quite effective at eradicating the fashion doll look.

Yeah once I get it I'll probably weather it more appropriately to how he had it in the show. Boots are accurate to what Pedro wears in the show just needs slight repaint to bring out the details and add weathering for dirt and grime.
Honestly I’m fine that it’s not wood since I don’t know how well that would have held up, but the amount of die cast feels very unnecessary. The knife it fine since it’s a thin blade and the shovel only has die cast for the head, but the cans, thermos, flask, and revolver (which I believe is inaccurate to begin with) are all too heavy to really use since they’re just solid metal.
The other issue with the rifle is the sling, in that picture there’s a ring connecting it to the barrel, but the final product has that end just drilled through the rifle itself and it doesn’t look very good in my opinion. Still, fairly minor issues for an overall great figure.

Is the neck textured or straight plastic?
Im thinking I still have a few bodies in the spare parts bin. Will try swapping out the neck for a better skintone match and with painted on skin texture.

The sculpt came out really well.
I've not had a 'Toys Era' figure since their Gotham range. Though that's not strictly accurate because they go by many other names, and I have figures from a number of them which came out in varying degrees of quality.
After two of the fastest 4PX deliveries ever, Joel is turning out to be one of the slowest. He's due tomorrow.

3 h ·So here he finally is! It came out even better than I could have hoped for. The headsculpt is just the best part for me and feel like they really nailed the Pedro likeness.
I even compared to my custom one I made over a year ago to fill the gap until this one. The headsculpt is far better than the hot toys one.
Massive well done to Toys Era on this one and cannot wait for the Ellie!
I hope you like the photos!

Poissibly Premier.
They're Premium Edition for sure, apparently along with Toys Works, Black Box and In-Famous.
Also suspected to be Tit Toys.

I hadn't checked the tracking since yesterday, so hadn't realised that the delivery date had been changed to today.
He arrived a little while ago.
There's speckling on the neck:
The rifle doesn't look as rough as it appeared in BigBreda's video:
The obligatory missing handle:
