He looks so blocky. His torso, the legs. The knees end up uglier than usual. I remember that deep crouch they had him in looked bad. I guess there's a price to pay for such a clean design.

They're pretty good especially if you get them at discount. Of course getting them today you can't help but feel that they are too small. But Revoltechs and mecha toys in general were smaller then.

>>10630131
I know I'm getting ripped off but fuck it. Yamaguchi just keeps upping his game, and I want to support that even if his corporate overlords are greedy. I mean, virtually every other Japanese toy company is already way overcharging for toys that rarely evolve substantially. If I'm forking over $100+ per figure, at least let it be something fucking awesome, you know? I definitely don't feel good dropping that kind of money on a Figma.

Is there actually a known way to fix Hawks' visor?
I recall someone saying they did it.
>>
>>10632890
It is PVC, just use some heat.
>>
>>10633135
Won't it return to its previous shape in due time?
>>
>>10633169
Maybe, maybe not. Since it was packaged separately and it tend to be deformed (different from mold shape) I guess leaving it off it will eventually bend back deformed. But keeping it on it might stay the way the mold intended it to be. But once the plastic is cooled they usually stay that way unless it's really soft. Like gravity is enough to bend soft. But the PVC on Hawks is pretty hard. The visor part might've bend because I assume there is some heat involved in packaging? That's why pieces with no joints inserted are hard to put in out of the box. Figma have pegs in those joint holes of option parts to prevent the expanding.
>>
>>10633368
I appreciate it.
The material (I still have Hawks in the box right now, whew) is still fairly rough in terms of texture, right? Not smooth, so it will warp and deform the eyes behind them?
>>
>>10633406
You mean the opacity of the visor? Yeah it bends light a little, but not so bad. From side angles though it looks very cloudy in spots. It looks clear only from dead front.
>>
>>10633420
I wonder if there's anything that can be done about that. I do recall seeing some pics where it looked pretty good, but that was when he first released.
I assume that entire issue is to do with the material picked and the imperfections in the sculpt.
>>
>>10633423
Yeah I think if you want perfectly clear plastic you need to go with something harder, and even then you can still get imperfections. Clear plastic on gundam models still have lines in them you can see.

Crybaby Devilman looks kind of like the manga version if you squint. That means that it will never happen. 70's anime Devilman and ugly redesigns forever. Sorry but those are the rules.
>>
>>10634821
Nobody cares about Devilman. They give the occasional try but they perform poorly. The properties that are inspired by Devilman (Berserk, Parasyte, Evangelion to name a few) have done much much better, because newer is usually better in Japan. Nostalgia for something that old isn't strong in Japan unless it's Mecha.
>>
>>10635698
Devilman is actually one of the only nostalgia properties that Japan keeps digging up. We get a new adaptation every few years in some form or another and we have so many toys of the title character from so many different lines. They just refuse to make toys of specific looks outside of the 70's show for some godforsaken reason.
>>
>>10635840
That's because Nagai Go is realistically only known for two things, Mazinger Z and Devilman. And he only cares about Devilman, so he keeps rehashing it, make other things connect to it, because none of his other works have really taken off. Getter was more Ishikawa's baby.

And these adaptations and spinoffs you are talking about haven't done so well, as I mentioned. Interestingly it is much like all these Western properties that have nothing but nostalgia. They can't come up with new ideas and make them work. Nagai behaves similarly, but it's nowhere near as big or profitable. And these action figures we get aren't best sellers either. If they were we see more. Recent movie, mangas and anime series gave us nothing in terms of action figures, just some statues. Anything can get statues.
>>
>>10635840
>They just refuse to make toys of specific looks outside of the 70's show
And that by the way shows nostalgia is weak from consumer demands point of view. TV show got something made because naturally more people saw and remember that, so it barely made the cut. Also was more like part of the Nagai super robots because of the crossover movie.

Slight correction; the 70's anime is a lot of fun, but should be considered to be its own thing as it's not an adaptation.

Watch devil man crybaby. It's the best version
>>
>>10636813
That's just untrue. Half of it is some shitty track and field drama that the creators seem to rather do but couldn't so they shoved it into a known property. It is sort of based on the swimmers setting from Devilman Lady but who cares about that. They also totally butchered the Satan reveal. It's so bad. It had fancy animation, that's about it. Original manga run still remains the best. Lady is an interesting continuation. Grimoire is a fun take with more anime settings involved. Amon is a good sidestory.

I thought Yamaguchi would really nail Aizawa and make him shine. Looks decent... Accurate I guess. But fucking boring. Why doesn't have a crazy long scarf and a thousand pieces? It's so barebones and "safe". Really disappointed.

He has a boring design though, that's his thing. Not sure what more he could do. Scarf has only two ends I guess. Maybe pieces that could wrap around other figures but that's hard to do right.

The 70's anime is kind of shit and is barely an adaptation. The two 80's OVAs are okay. The Amon OVA is kind of weird and just adapts part of the end of the manga for some reason. The live action movie is awful. The Cyborg 009 crossover OVA is fine for what it is. Crybaby is an absolute dogshit adaptation but your enjoyment may vary depending on how tolerant you are of Yuasa's direction style. The manga is great.

How exactly does Aizawa shine? You fucking retard. He's a boring cunt with a boring outfit and lame powers. The coolest thing about him is the scarf and that's a shitty thing to have being the coolest part of your power set up.
The only thing I would add is a scarf piece that looks like it's circling his head when he has his eyes red. This figure is perfectly mid just like Aizawa is.

>>
>>10637548
It is kind of like the new Trigun where it is mostly liked by a new fanbase as opposed to fans of the original.
Anyway I said it is a dogshit ADAPTATION not that it is a shit series. That is a personal mileage thing. Yuasa gutted the main cast, removed massive story beats and added a ton of awkward as all hell comedy stuff like the boner episode and the rappers. I'll give it points for actually getting to the ending even if it butchered the middle to get there. None of the other adaptations managed that outside of the movie.

Anons throw that word around and most don't seem to know what it even means. That makes absolutely no sense, especially for Kaiyodo. This happens randomly, and not even commonly among different stores. It should affect all MHA or all DC then. And these AY don't have distribution rights outside of Japan anyways like most collectibles unless they have official distributors AFAIK.
>>
I don't know if this has been answered before, but do you know why amiami doesn't have Agent Venom on preorder yet?
>>
>>10638386
>That makes absolutely no sense
t. NEET

Licensing costs money and license holders can be greedy as fuck. What's happening here is that the licensor has broken up the license by region, so that Kaiyodo can only afford the east Asia region.
In order to protect other license holders who may or may not hold the license for Europe, Africa, South America, and North America, they'll stipulate that the east Asia license holder can only be sold in east Asia only. This also means that retailers can't take orders from other regions. If a retailer breaks that contract with Kaiyodo, who has to enforce their license, that retailer can be fined or may no longer be able to carry Kaiyodo products.

tl;dr: SSDD

You see, I'm not buying this licensing explanation because it doesn't fit the pattern. Especially with which stores carry what. You see this more when you compare the Japanese sites with their international sites. What, is licensing so micromanaged character by character, and retailers are following and not following at whim? And not even selling it in Japan sometimes?? And this all started to happen more after the distributor aka Kaiyodo got shitty. Was the old distributor controlling licensing too? It makes more sense it's the shit distribution making certain items not worth carrying, or shipping out of the country. That's why it looks random who gets what. If you consider popularity of each character and where that might be, it looks less random.

And if following this guideline is so important, why do we keep seeing major stores breaking it without consequences too? And I'm not sure how licensing are charged or scaled, but are they distance based? Because when this happens, and it seem to only happen with Kaiyodo this way, they are strangely distance based. That plus America which Japan has special agreements of trades with. So this speaks to me more of a shipping costs issue. Drawing a line to not waste money perhaps. Shipping 1000 to one country might be cheaper than 50 to 20 countries. Something that is more so for the retailers to decide.

Why two or more stores decide to do the same countries at times is a tough one to explain. I can only assume same businesses think alike, and yeah that's not a great answer.
>>
>>10640166
retail is a bitch and a half to control, since there's so many distributors, resellers, outlet, and fell-out-of-a-truck sources to make orders from, so there's many avenues to get "region locked" products from.

Still, licensors are extremely controlling and licensees have to make every effort to comply with their contracts. But sometimes they're lax about it or maybe there's no explicit writing for a listing when making an order or on the box, which a lot of retailers/distributors take as "that restriction must have been lifted" despite previous language that more than implies the entire line is restricted forever.
Just think of it as watching a copyrighted material on XBOXB00BS Youtube channel. Just because the algorithm didn't block it from being uploaded doesn't mean that movie/song is suddenly public domain. Someone just needs to physically report it and it'll get removed.

I'm almost positive Kaiyodo's Marvel stuff was cockblocked in the US at first, but people on /toy/ found a way around that and now it's not hard to get at all. Other stuff that was cockblocked: Bandai's Star Wars models, JoyToy's Warhammer 40k figures, Hiya's GI Joe line.
In the first two examples, they eventually worked out a deal to get US distribution. The latter is still cockblocked, hence people ordering from some previously unknown websites.

Yeah I won't believe "licensing" as an excuse atm. Maybe if they also blocked the Kirishima AY too, but they didn't so we'll have to wait and see what happens with Shigaraki

Steiner was an SS commander who was supposed to launch an offensive during the battle of Berlin. There's a scene from the movie Downfall where Hitler rants, in part, about Steiner's failure to act. The scene became a huge meme, with people altering the subtitles to be about all manner of topics.

Devilman crybaby is a neat version but the 90s one is nostalgic if you grew up watching that, the original is unwatchable. Either way if you haven't seen it you're doing yourself a disservice, it's the equivalent of saying you haven't seen ninja scroll, akira, or like the og ghost in the shell.. you're uncultured and devil was where alot of animes copied their concepts from. It is the original.
>>
>>10649495
>seen ninja scroll, akira, or like the og ghost in the shell..
Those are the Western ideas for "good anime" as in it wasn't as shitty as whatever crap they could grab hold of. A lot of them don't hold much regards in Japan, they were one among many, not cherry picked samples for the US. Besides AKIRA I don't think they are considered that special in Japan. Personally SAC continuity are way more interesting overall for example. I think the so called cultured folks go for things like The Wings of Honnêamise, Castle of Cagliostro for that era.
>>
>>10649393
This head is cool but I realized I would only use it for novelty photos now and then, and actually prefer the normal Agent Venom head. Therefore it would be dumb for me to pay an extra $40 for the head.
>>
>>10649543
>don't hold much regards in Japan
wat?

The fact they all got sequels and even knockoffs shows that they were very popular.

One thing that most people in the know have commented on is just the fact there isn't much nostalgia in Japan. They don't have shit like Star Trek and Star Wars conventions like in the US. They want to enjoy new thing instead, albeit sometimes based on previous series like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, Inujyasha, Naruto, or Gundam.
And this isn't to say that old series are forgotten about or not cherished, but there's not a giant active fanbase like in the US, where fans clamor for a re-re-remake of Firefly or Battlestar Galactica, or new toys from them, despite 3-50 years having passed since their cancellation/ending.
It's rare for a one and done series or movie to get more shit after it ended in Japan and, like in the US, this doesn't mean it's actually great.

This is honestly why manga/anime are more successful than ever while Western comics and animation are dead. You just can't keep milking Batman and other characters that are like 70 years old with endless reboots forever. Making new things from the ground up is healthier in the end.

And McFarlane's DC line outsold Hasbro's Marvel line the other year, according to the largest sales tracking company in the world. So western shit is still super popular... hence Kaiyodo needing the DC and Marvel licenses to fill up their coffers. which allows them to make cool shit like >>10644990

Now I have batman and the 2.0 spiderman. I should probably secure the catwoman preorder too because shes probably the third revoltech im pretty interested in. Im a difficult customer for this hobby because I dont give a shit about 99% of gay capeshit or animeshit. Only shit shit that ive liked since I was a kid like the aforementioned two that I already have, or videogame characters that dont seem to be a big thing for amazing yamaguchi at all. I guess there have been big boss and raiden but those are ancient by now

>>
>>10650264
I have zero interest in most media (I've got stuff on preorder that I didn't even know what franchise was from) and I got AY Harley just because she looked so damn good. I didn't even think much of the jugallette design before I saw the figure. Grew up with TAS so Harley was always jester Harley to me. Completely sold me onto the new design. I'm probably the worst possible customer because I don't have a nostalgia/hype attachment to what I buy, I just look at quality and what personally appeals me.

Depends on how big a thing MCU can make the FF. It has to get to like Iron Man level for AY to use up 4 spots for them.

An AY Mr Fantastic with crazy stretching add-ons like that is unironically my most wanted figure out of this line. That thing would never leave my desk
>>
>>10651639
Best guess because this crap happened after AY lost the distributor company, is that certain AY are no longer profitable for stores to carry or sell overseas. HLJ don't have them at all, even on their Japanese side because nobody use them in Japan. No DC there for a while now and looking at movie performances you can see why. Most interesting example is AmiAmi Japan. DC AY and MH AY are not getting discounts. This to me say that the stores are not getting enough of a discount from Kaiyodo to pass onto the customers. Marvel and MHA still get discounted. DC used to too prior to dropping the distributor. If one of the biggest site can't get by without charging full price, smaller places are likely not to even take the risk.
>>
>>10650911
if mr fantastic gets an AY treatment, it'll probably the closest yamaguchi can get to making a luffy figure.

and it'll be hundred times better than shf luffy.
>>
>>10651639
They're not exclusive but it seems Kaiyodo badly wants a piece of the P-Bandai market and this is their attempt to see how much they can gouge customers wallets by cutting out the distributors.

I can't wait for this to blow up in their faces when they realize they've effectively cannibalized their own profits by making it impossible for people who want to buy their products to do so.

That was my attitude too. I’ll never display Agent Venom with a Venom head, so I passed. Still not thrilled that this is just how AY works now. Wasn’t a big deal for stuff like extra webs for Spidey, but alternate heads is a pretty lame thing to lock behind an extra $40.

I don't think it will because it doesn't affect the local customers that much. In the meanwhile they are releasing more characters for AY than ever before.

KT did do licensed games for various anime, but those are presumably still owned by the original publishers. FOTNS belongs to Shueisha, so he has the same chances as most other WSJ heroes once they're done scouring the BNHA mines.

Not really. Outside of Batman characters there's not much viable options left. So "hey it's like superman but a girl" seems like an easy sell.

What is surprising is releasing another female AY so soon. Gap between WW and CW was like 20? release.

A Hawk-Man/Hawk-Girl would be a nice option next time. It ain't capes, but characters with really articulated wings are a rarity since they're usually either static or only have two points of articulation. I remember the The Batman (2004) line having a pretty cool Manbat with articulated wings.

But people get what Venom is, and he looks like a Deadpool. Doesn't matter if they know who Flash Thompson was, the design is good enough for the imagination. GL is just a generic dude with weird green accessories. Recent run of movies didn't have them except a weird alien in a flashback. Sadly a random cool looking Marvel character has better potential than most supposedly A-list DC characters.

>>
>>10653523
Just got my first AY with Moon Knight after YEARS of being tempted, gotta say a lot of these seem true. I think the biggest problem with AY is that a lot of their figures are not the "definitive" look for most characters. Unlike MAFEX or SHF who just recreate one look, AYs like to mash a bunch of traits together with their in-house style which I really like but I know it isn't for everyone. I mean that's why it took me so long to buy one of their figures because I don't like my American capeshit characters to look like they popped out of a manga and MK doesn't have that problem since you don't really see his face.
>>
>>10653561
I own a lot of figures from different companies. Why are you so triggered?
>>
>>10653545
So the mostly movie influenced selection so far is just a coincidence? Not that many are actually into American Comics you know. Leaning on that side of fandom have not worked well with AY when you look at who shelfwarmed. And DC currently is at a weaker position on top of that. . MAFEX, which is clearly more catered to what you think AY is doing, haven't even done a GL. That's evidence enough.

funny because id say thats literally the best part (outside of the obvious), makes it feel less like I need to get 800 specific versions of batman when amazing yamaguchi gives me *a* batman that sort of represents the entire character in a generic sense

>>10653568
>I own a lot of figures from different companies
Apparently not, or otherwise youd be able to easily see that figma and figuarts both for example mog AY in terms of sculpts and paintjobs. The strength of AY (and it has been getting stronger and stronger) is the articulation and particularly the engineering of the figure/ articulation itself, they keep moving away from simply depending on the clunky revoltech joint and theyre now just becoming the A game of the action figure industry with the latest releases. Spiderman 2.0 for example is probably the best spiderman figure ever made so far

I've seen complaints about this with Harley but I think she's perfectly in line with Bruce Timm's art style. I don't get the whole "looks like manga" thing 'cause cartoons and comics were most of the time similarly stylized. Do people really want uncanny movie star faces?
>>
>>10653565
>AYs like to mash a bunch of traits together
Technically they all have certain comic designs he's following. Some changes are made for the sake of articulation or comic references are so inconsistent Yamaguchi just makes up some details. His signature stylization is a different matter of course.

cope Green Lantern fag
Nobody cares about him anymore
Especially not after Ryan Reynolds shit into his mouth and no one is going to care about whatever James Gunn reboot that'll flop
>>
>>10653862
Not him and I dont give a shit about green faggot just like I dont give a shit about 99.99% of amerishit capeshit characters, but every fucking normie knows who green lantern is let alone anyone who buys toys as an adult. Everyone is aware of him because of Ryan Reynolds and he was a prominent character in both Injustice games. You might have an argument that nobody gives a shit or necessarily knows about there being multiple green lanterns or that Hal isnt the only main character, but thats an entirely different "issue"

>>
>>10653946
NTA but while most normies do know, in fact, who Green Lantern is, he's just... sort of a lame superhero that nobody cares about? Nobody says "Oh WAOW Green Lantern! He's my favorite!" It's always Batman or Spider-man or someone who's actually cool. Green Lantern is about as cool as Captain Planet, except that Captain Planet has a mullet. If you wanna publish a character like that you gotta piggyback on a movie that is doing well at the box office and there's a lot of hype because he says something catchy.
I'm sorry anon...

>>10654062
Like I said I dont give a shit about green lantern, I was replying to the false belief that nobody knows who the fuck he is, because normies do in fact know almost every single comic character out there now through osmosis and whenever they dont they immediately absorb the information anyway because the barrier of entry has been broken

the real issue is that nobody with a brain gives a shit about some boring faggot like gween wantern, even by the standards of DC capeshit garbage hes just laughably lame. There are plenty of superheroes that amazing yamaguchi should actually spend his time on rather than wasting it on trash like gween wantern (like spawn)

They focus on articulation over all, and constantly push the boundaries forward in that realm. Bandai and Max Factory, the other two big players, are positively stagnating when it comes to this. I have been disappointed in the majority of SHFs and Figmas in the last three years, they seem content to maintain the status quo of "acceptable" articulation. They never want to go the extra mile.

>>10654267

>>10654327
Only buy Figmas if you like the sculpt enough to justify the price. They definitely aren't gonna blow any minds pose-wise. Max Factory only puts in real effort to their articulation once every blue moon. The last one I remember being really pleased with was Prime 3 Samus, that was capable of some pretty good posing for a Figma.
>>
>>10654377
My first figma will be, in fact, Dread Samus. Then a few months later, the second Hito Kaiki figure. I genuinely love the way Figmas look, they seem to be incredibly clean and well-polished. But I do care a lot about articulation, e.g. if Samus won't be able to pull that pose you posted, I'll be bummed. In the figure's description they say some babble about articulation and posability that seems to be copy-pasted in every figure's description, so I dunno. The preview pictures show some nice articulation but nothing spectacular and the poses are sort of milquetoast. If I'll be disappointed I'll just stick to Revoltech and other companies with a similar philosophy (lots of articulation and expression)
>>
>>10654377
I regret not picking up mp3 samus twice.
>>
>>10654377
>>10654411
Especially since she's got like, no accessories. If the figure itself isn't spectacularly well made I'm probably giving the whole line a hard pass. I took the gamble specifically because the Prime 3 figure was so damn good, and I wanna believe that they'll try to beat that standard.

You atleast know the articulation is good because it wouldnt be able to do this pose otherwise.
>>
>>10654481
Yeah that pic makes me pretty confident that she's nicely engineered as least when it comes to the legs.
What makes me uneasy is that it's a figure from a popular Nintendo franchise and I always have this prejudice that you're paying for the collector's value and the big name IP. I feel much safer buying figures from say Snail Shell 'cause they don't get automatic sales from the IP's name alone.
After getting Harley I think I'll give extra attention to Revoltech 'cause they seem to make figures exactly the way I want them.

The hip seems to have good range, but holy shit, the replacement hand and foot attached to the wall because she cannot actually do the pose is kind of shitty.
>>
>>10654503
As much as I don't like pose-specific swappies, I think it's less because she can't do the pose and more to secure the figure to the vertical surface.
>>
>>10654507
Could have been done with simple magnets, like many Spiderman figures do. The whole block seems to be a magnet that attaches to the wall anyway, so there's no real reason for this other than "the figure cannot do the pose."

And I mean, we can see that she can't. Look at the upper foot-covers, the one stuck to the wall is squashed down to this tiny sliver. You could never do that on the actual figure.

The front ankle covers are partially why she cant do that pose since it impedes her from making her foot touching parallel to her leg.
Im not going to even bother using that piece honestly since I can imagine the sockets loosening due to the weight distribution.

And I didn't bother to specify because it goes without saying, but this is about Japan since that's where most of the purchases are happening. They weren't AWARE of Agent Venom but his design and Venom name is enough to CARE.

If it is a Revo I can see this as the strongest possibility. It would be the followup to the Star Rail girl. Kaiyodo seem to think anime girls are the new possibilities (really? after all these years?) for Revo. But with Rail Gun girls this is another IP figma went down already, not that it mattered for MHA.

Huh. I'm amazed how strong AY is going despite ditching the distributor(s). Or because of it? No more middleman get all the profits?

Saying just project details probably mean not all will have a sculpt to show...boo. But that also means Misaka and other two girls, and Shigaraki are not included? Shigaraki was never officially announced so one of the nine is him I bet.

Also, where's all this effort for home turf WF? lol

That’s true, but I don’t see how Yamaguchi can improve those demon slayer figures at a lower price.

>>10655497
If Bandai did figuarts for KnY, 3/4 of the Hashira and any demons they bothered with would be P-Bandai exclusives, IF they got past the main cast at all. KnY's flaw is that it rose to prominence in an era of GSC just not giving a fuck anymore, and the other collector company willing to tackle the line happening to be a fan of small production runs.
I'm not convinced we won't see any SHF KnY before it's said and done.

Supergirl was revealed but since Yamaguchi didn't do the sculpt he's free for another one? Jump jumped the gun for Shigaraki so doesn't count. And Certain Scientific Railgun AY didn't even start yet so no way a 4th one is getting announced now. I don't think Star Rail is one and done, AY isn't like that anymore. TR have more popular characters I assume. Will we see new IP besides Koei's?

i just hope the articulation will be as good as the ones made by yamaguchi. the old non-yamaguchi revo MH hunter had bad poseability compared to others in the line despite having the best paint details. Even the vulcanlog MH had less articulation compared to the MH glavenus made by yamaguchi. The non-yamaguchi MHRise AY also looks like it has less dynamic articulation compared to the standard AYs.

another thing i'd like to add is that non-yamaguchi revoltechs tend to be more expensive than yamaguchi made revo. Unless its eva

You will travel all the way up a sacred mountain to meet an old sculptor who's been making Bunraku dolls for 10 generations. After he denies your request several times, he will finally cave in and take you as his disciple. For 5 years you'll be making tea for him, then he will give you a blunt pen knife and tell you to carve (non-articulated) Jizo figurines for 5 more years. As you're on the verge of giving up, one day, a butterfly will land onto your last Jizo of the day, and you will have a realization: carving, sculpting, making action figures, it all makes sense now. You will drop all your shit and go "sensei! sensei! and when you'll barge into his room he'll know already. That's what he wanted you to discover. He'll say "soooo da ne..." and tell you that you've learned everything he could teach you, and you're on your own now.
But then, an incredibly well-articulated Oni attacks the shack, pulling all sorts of dynamic poses. His posing is truly incredible. Sensei tells you to run while he sends his Bunraku dolls to fight the demon. In what looks like a JoJo posing contest, they duke it out before your eyes. But the demon kills your master and points a fully articulated finger at you. He tells a well-articulated speech on why he won't kill you because you're a pathetic carver and he only eats the best carvers in order to gain even more amazing articulation. Insulted and defeated as the demon leaves, you wield your dead master's kiridashi knife and swear to become the best action figure maker in the world, and one day, defeat that Oni...

You can already have this with just a tiny amount of customization. Buy the old Kinnikuman Revo, swap on the blank head, remove the floating belt, and sand off the cuffs and boot lines. Then just mask a straight line across the chest, paint top half silver, bottom half blue, print a pepsi decal for the chest, and cut a tiny section of jewelry chain for him to wear.

It's a balls-easy custom and will basically get you a Yamaguchi-style Pepsiman.

Also even though this figure is old and has ratcheting joints, it's def a high point in the line. Absurdly flexible and his body can compress super tight for insane posing ability. This is one of the most fun figures I've ever owned, it gets into great looking poses with such ease.
