No big write-up as I'm waiting to find another SnowJob so I can bash the other McSnowie I have, and I'm still ruminating on how to Asunderize them. But I figured y'all might wanna see:

I did my usual 'toss the upper half of a Joe fig to use the bottom for a SW fig that shoulda been Joeticulated in the first place' routine, carving up the chest armor so it'd fit onto SJ's upper abdomen. I had to lose the holster and thingus on his left thigh, but haven't painted or cleaned up the scars yet until I figure what I want to do with them.

Those are Gal Marine legs, right? I have no idea what Hasbro was thinking in making this fig with knees at two diff heights. When I put him in a sitting position and saw that, I was seriously thinking of getting my money back. That sort of incompetence is absolutely inexcusable, even more so than them horrid JvC figs.

That's farcking brilliant, AV, even the color differences blend nicely.

I'm certainly impressed!

Yup.

I hadnt even noticed the legs were diffrent lenghts! I kept one of these guys on the card and cut this bad boy up the second he got here.

It's not that the legs are diff lengths but that the knee joint is at diff heights up the leg, higher on the left than on the right. This causes the legs to break at different places, which makes him look completely mis-shapen when in a sitting pose. It's without a doubt the absolute worst thing I've ever seen on a SW fig.
