    Daim is right.

    I added the LEDs myself though. I shot a video of the lights in action that I just posted over in radicons. The lights pulse.

    Thank you for the kind words. I love the way this stand turned out.

    All my emails to DubK have gone unanswered about apollyon. Has anyone heard anything. The last update I saw on this thread was end of July??

    Yup. I still stand by the theory I was accidentally sent a test shot.

    Got mine this morning, yet to play with him (i suspect the 2nd run).

    I am impressed so far, and is a happy customer (opinion may change after i get to play around with it more).

    Sorry CoRDS, I totally forgot to mention that I got the idea for the stand from you. I saw a picture you posted of yours with the blue lights and the white KO MP10. It looked amazing.

    If I have trouble with the chest, that's the next step. The arms basically fall off anyways, so that's no biggie. The pin for the crotch piece is annoying, but it's not the first pin i've removed.

    But I've no idea right now how to get the chest apart. Shitty thing, too, is that while looking him over again last night, I noticed another giant gash on his left thigh.

    Yay.

    There are 4 screws that need to be removed from the back to undo the chest. They have some really difficult to remove screw covers and you'll most likely scratch the hell out of them getting them out.

    I ended up having to take the chest apart myself after the collapsing chest got stuck in gun mode.

    Ah cool, thank you. I'll have another look when I get home. Mine, currently, won't collapse all the way. That and the scratches all over the front are why the replacement was sent.

    I wish you luck getting that bastard apart in one piece.

    There are 2 grooves on the front piece of the chest that act as a sliding mechanism. Mine had excessive mold flash in it. I shaved it down a bit and the chest collapses much more smoothly.

    Again, good luck, it is not a fun process.
