    Is it just me, or did one of McF's best prototypes ever turn out ot be one of their most poorly excecuted?

    So far I have noticed the folling problems:

    1. BIG PROBLEM

    The damn soft sculpted on weapons. On my figure, the cleaver's handle is literally pointing outwards. The coat is in the way, and since it's soft plastic, it just bends outwards, and now it's stuck that way.

    2.

    Coffin is too tall. Maybe I'm incompetent, but I can't find a good spot to put his foot where is other foot will actually sit on the ground.

    3. (related to 2)

    Random pegs & holes. There are like 3 pegs and 2 holes in the coffin & lid that appear to serve no purpose. I thought the pegs were to stick his foot in, but again, problem #2. I thought the hole in the lid was meant to go onto a peg on the coffin, but I just can't figure it out. And then there's the random little hole in the coffin that looks like it was meant for a peg. This figure really needs instructions.

    Hopefully some of you can help me and prove that these aren't in fact problems, and I'm just stupid.

    That's all secondary to me after the more than poor likeness. They didn't even try to make it look like hime, they just said "fuck let's just make whatever we want"

    as for the peg thing You have to push the peg on the coffin (not the lid) far into the hole in the boot. Then you have to fuck around with the articulation. Worked for me.

    the cleaver does bend, but i cut mine off and it looks much better without it.


    mine is standing on the coffin with one foot on the ground, so i don't know whats wrong with yours


    i have no clue what all the pegs are for

    Figured out most of it. Even the little hole in the coffin. Turns out there's a tiny peg on the butt of his rifle that fits right into it. Now there are only extraneous peg. [img]wink.gif[/img]

    Still not wsure what I'm going to do about the cleaver.
