    The trick for that is to have the knees and thighs of the core bot all squared up as the dont really lock in place. ItsI tricky but if you mess with it and pay attention to the position when you get the chest lined up you'll be able to repeat it every time.

    The hip joints slide forward and back (up and down in combined). This helps a lot.

    Thanks, guys, yeah, I'm aware.
    I've been successful doing it before -- I'm not saying it's impossible.
    I'm just saying that it's more of a challenge than it ought to be.

    Yeah, fiance got him for my Xmas present. Getting that into the chest was a PIA. Overall great figure and amazing to have him in the collection.

    Don't get the reason for Matrix included when it really serves little purpose to the concept. But nice quality though.

    Agabyss somehow has him still in stock for retail.

    I got the articulated hands today.

    They're alright, the fingers look unnaturally long when fully extended and I wish they were different lengths. And I'd like it if they had some spread, but I'm not sure the added fragility would be worth it.

    I mean, for $10 you could do worse.

    Purple Baser has been waiting for me back home, hopefully by the weekend. Well I think it’s him.

    I swapped the thighs from their black Powerbaser. I think the chrome thighs look better on this regular version.

    Was it easy to disassemble the thighs?

    Yes. There are just 2 screws on each thigh. 1 at knee joint and a second that has a plug you have to remove to access screw. The hardest part was removing the plug. I was able to get under it with an exacto knife.

    I passed on this guy because of the price and the beer gut. Now that I've seen the price of KFC's this one suddenly seems much more reasonable and seeing all of these pics with the Marvel head looking so good, I may have overreacted to his gut. So yeah, a reissue would be nice.
