I was going to post them in the other picture thread I posted but I didn't think I'd take so many pictures. So I figure this deserves it's own thread.
So here's the Takara Male body... as nude as I dared make him. I recently had some issues with some CG 1.0 bodies having the ankle joint crack on me so I had no interest in taking off his boot-feet in order to get his pants off.
You can see his elbows have excelent movement. I especially like the elbow which gives you a vary natural elbow point when the arm is full bent, something most 1/6 figures do not do.
Now I have one fairly sizable issue with this very expensve issue. Maybe I just got a skrewed up one or something since I've never had this issue with any Takara stuff before. The fit on his jacket is really, really bad. It's far too tight. It's pretty bad in the body, all stretched out weirdly, even inhibits movement some.
Now that's nothing compared to how badly it screws up the arm and shoulder movement. This photo depicts as high as his arm can raise and as tights as his arm can bend. Compare that to the nude arm and the arm in a black long sleeve shirt I had laying around. Both nude and in the shirt his shoulder maintains full movement.
So I decided to swap his leather jacket for the black shirt... which will be almost entirely covered by his gear so who cares what it looks like?
Here he is with all his non-armor pieces on... sans jacket.
His vest on...
Most of his hard armor on, only missing his helmet.
The detail work on the mask is very nice, better than the chick's if you ask me. There's a lot more stuff going on and I love the furrowed brow.
Again, more great detail... in an area you'll never really see There's this cool connector ring on his back armor that matches up with his back pack.
Also the ammo drum is removeable from the backpack, has two places to store spare barrels for his machine gun, and a handle to carry it by.
This pose with the arms so close to the body would be impossible if he was still wearing that stupid jacket.
Same goes for this pose with his arms raised high and his right arm very tightly bent to his body.
I don't get the jacket issue. Midori's jacket fits great.
