Hey guys, I think the elbow thing has a very simple solution: try pulling the forearm out of the socket slightly; this gives you additional bending. The forearms can pop out like city hunter or shadow predator. If its tight, use a hair dryer and go really slow. I don't have him yet so I can't try but I tried this with my city hunter and got the bend. You might even be able to use the strap to cover up the small gap that is somewhat apparent after doing this or you could improvise by adding another strap or cloth to conceal. Additionally, I think if positioned right it wouldn't even be noticeable. Somebody try this and let me know.
