neck would be above arms, and that is waist - part between body and legs
can't wait to get my shelves and put all EDs together.
each time i see a nice photo of this engineering, like photos in your post, i dream of displaying it again. haven't seen ED IRL for a year already.

Got one on the way. Nervous about dome after reading this. I figured the new version would have had that problem resolved.

Happier than a pig in slop. All rubber parts are perfect.

What's a decent price for this guy? I have one saved on Amazon for like 366 with $8 shipping from Hong Kong.

I've had mine since release, and no sign of damage. It is in my movie/beer cellar so it stays below 65 degrees. That may be helping the rubber from crackinig. Perhaps if they are in hotter enviroments the cracks start becoming an issue?

Its an awesome piece. Iv got a fairly large collection from 1/6 to lifesize pieces and this always seems to get noticed .

I'm also worried about putting stress on the joints. I had it in a cool action pose, but the gaskets looked squashed and pulled, so I put it back in the neutral pose. Lol!

Mine is in a statue like pose...all my stuff is. I'm always scared to break something.

Another thing I'm curious about - the legs are attached via small plastic pin. There is a lot of weight that is constantly pressing down on these two pins. Wonder if after a year or two if they will eventually snap.

i was afraid of that as well.
i pacified myself with an idea of drilling the parts and putting a metal stick inside, in case that happens.
or you can just buy an extra body piece and keep it, like i did for robocop with too tight heap joints which can break eventually

For such a detailed toy they made some really lame design decisions didn't they?

Some of you guys. Seriously. The figure is NOT heavy, and IIRC it's ABS plastic. You could probably swing off that joint. The amount of weight, for what that joint could potentially hold, would be approaching a rounding error, it's that small. Unless the plastic disintegrates, in which case there is no saving it, regardless of weight.
