Same, but this is a phase 1 style armor. My troopers are all phase 2, I couldn't replicate an order 66 style display with this version. I'm deciding on saving up money to put towards ebay prices, or holding out until a future reissue. That has been my dilemma. Buying this is my 3rd option...

Correct. Same base sculpt. Less texturing, different paintjob. The horns by his ears do curl up more than the Solo sculpt.

Awhile back I customized Grievous, I cut the arms at the forearm and repositioned them so they bent with the armor facing out instead of down. Then I adjusted the fins to point in toward the chin, and narrowed the chest plates to cover the organs better. Final pic is the end result when posing.

and me, Sideshow sent me a new shield no questions asked though, which is nice.

He is a project for me too. I want to incorportate a ball joint at the waist, but am figuring out the logistics before I give him the Maul treatment :ROFLMAO:

I attached some pictures to that post, not sure if they were visible at the time. Here is a bonus pic..

I took a huge risk and chopped Grievous' arms in half, rotated and glued them so that they bend more like the movie, still not 100% accurate due to the overengineering. Had to shave down the sides of the elbow joint for it to work. Also fixed the position of the fins, and sanded off the top pegs.

I got Cap a few months back, never posted any pictures before now. I think mine turned out well, I think the proportions look good. The only "modifying" I did was use a heat gun to form the Chest piece around the body underneath a little better, as it looked a little bulbous to me. I think it...

I preordered this because I sold my original last year when money was tight due to covid. It's a shame this re-release isn't super improved over the last, but it'll still be nice to havve on my shelf again. I also feel more confident than I did when it comes to customizing, so my plan is to fix...

Just got a delay email, June for me now..

Ask and you shall receive:

Yes, although I would have to raise the arms up and out a bit. I like the way they hang here, so I am fine with that very slight gap.

Here is the completed mod. Ended up snapping one of the 2 pegs holding the screw cover in place. The glue was too strong. Doesn't matter anyways because I glued it all back together when I was done. I think it was worth it.

I am halfway done with the shoulder mod. It's not as scary as it seems, but it can be tough to pry some parts apart that are glued together. So be careful if you are trying. I also made the mistake of separating the wrong side of the shoulder disk. So I had to separate both. At least the seam it...

Only that the guantlet wasn't glued together and came apart when I unboxed it. I posted a picture of that earlier in the thread. Oh, and one of the shoulders doesn't extend outward fully, the arm pops out of it's socket if I pull on it instead of extending.
