Joel has arrived!

All right, I like the look of the shirt, but the seamless arms are definitely pointless. They’re too light not matching the skin tone and they’re awkwardly bent it almost like a weird pose. What a shame. Also fyi to get the forearms off wiggle but bend the bicep fully it will pop off.

You cant really see it with clothes on fortunately but the arms are way too muscular for Pedro Pascal. Body is reminiscent of a hot toys captain America body.

When I took the shirt and jacket off to dunk his arms in boiling water, he kept reminding me of the old Hot Toys The Wolverine in his vest. It surprised me because he didn't seem that beefy in his shirt and jacket.

The seamless arms are very different from the Kai Studios arms. They’re nicely painted with lots of texture.

The arms are a little bit pale but it’s close enough for me.

Used End I Toys chainsaw man arms.


Ok so the seamless arms are a major pain in the ***, especially the gripping hands. What a mess. They are twisted in a weird pose. Whereas other seamless arms I have are in a neutral pose, making you able to use the bicep swivel to rotate them.

It’s almost like the arms were designed to be used for one specific pose. You cant make him hold the flashlight or anything like that.

These two arms are rotated in the same direction. If you look at this Kai studios hand (left) you can see how the Toys Era arm is completely twisted to face a different direction making it extremely hard to pose.

This body was not designed with seamless arms in mind. Takes a lot of force to swap the arms. And the seamless arms don’t slot into anything. They are held on by friction alone. Making it very easy for them to fall off.

The End I toys Chainsaw man and Kai studios seamless arms actually slot into the arm peg. And they sit secured on the body. This seems like a major oversight.. What a disappointment

Because of this issue Joel can only hold his guns and accessories in very awkward positions.

I just had a rage attack because I’m trying to figure out a pose but the arms just keep falling off. I give up

Museum pose for now. I had a hard time rolling up the sleeves and the arms keep constantly detaching at the lightest touch. Not gonna bother with the watch as I’m 100% sure the arm is gonna fly off again if I put a watch on him.

 

[Mr.E]

If anyone wants this one, mine is en route, but I'm not going to need it. Let me know if you're interested. I'll sell it at cost plus whatever shipping you prefer.

The arms seemed fine at prototype so something went drastically wrong...

I immediately notice my hand can’t hold the revolver tightly like that at all.

And the inside of the shirt is a very white color in the final, which doesn’t look very good when you roll up his sleeves. Whereas in the prototype the rolled up sleeves don’t nearly have as much of a color difference with the inside of the shirt.

So many things either got changed or were missed. The delay didn't help him apart from the head sculpt, and it's the head sculpt that's largely saving this figure.

His sleeves are rolled when he’s in the hospital at the end, try shouldering the rifle with those arms.

 

[niekgrijz]

WAIT LMAO. I found something!!

For the sake of it I tried the Toys Era seamless arms on the Joel Cctoys body. And guess what.. THE ARM CONNECTED! It’s actually attached. I think CCtoys uses recasts of a standard hot toys body.

This means ToysEra didnt design the seamless arms to be used with the body they chose. Such a huge mistake!

Achieving such a pose is nearly impossible considering the arms keep falling off.

Oh, that's good to know. They might not go to waste after all.

 

[niekgrijz]

Using the CCtoys body I was able to get some sort of rifle holding pose out of him. This is going to be impossible with the stock body. The arms will just fly all around the place.

 

[Akiratang]

Ok so why does the seamless arms keep falling off? Is it the peg socket being loose or something? I'll get mine tomorrow hopefully and will see myself but what's the underlying issue?

The peg on the body theyre using is not long enough to actually connect. It seems the body that they were designed for is not the body they ended up using.

Hmm how is the body overall? Is it worth body swapping?

I would say 100% needs a body swap imo.
