Thanks EF, Ski. At first I wasn't sure if I should try to match the gloves and boots or the webbing (unpainted part).

 

[Mercer]

That makes me want to get one now onethousandmasks.

This figure is the reason I started collecting Sideshow Joes. Reminds me of the Afrika Korps of WW II. Great figure!

tTo onethousandmasks: THe balaclava looks much better in brown. I was thinking more of a sand color to match his uniform. Great job!

Got this guy today and love it, only question, does anyone else's knee joints suck? Mine don't move at all

Ratchet Knees.

The knees make ratchet sounds when you try to bend them.

Which means?

They are the best knees that Sideshow has ever had on their figures. But they move in increments and they kind of snap from position to position. They are great for holding a pose. I understand that there are a few people who do not like them. But nobody has ever really given a reason for that as far as I can tell.

Understatement of the century!

The ratchet knees are terrible. The new knees on zartan and rock and roll are MUCH better

Yes,each snap of the knee makes an unrealistic and awkward pose

Ridiculous......I think you have been standing in the hot sun with the shiny side of the tinfoil in your hat facing inward.

I prefer non ratchet joints due to ratchet knees are only really good if your going to display the figure in a standing pose. Which pretty much sums up the stand that they include so why have the ratchet knees in the first place

And you must stand out on guard duty with your helmet on and pads removed, cooking your bean. They suck. End of story.
