The ad for this one had pics of it in just one pose, two pics of it propped at an angle against a box and one laying face down. Took a gamble on it and it turns out all the joints are at the ideal stiffness and it can hold all sorts of poses on its own.

Seller could have done to show this off in their ad, but I somewhat glad they didn’t, ‘cause if they did, someone else might have snapped it up.

Wanted to mention it’s an ideal candidate for a 3D modelling / 3D printing / custom project and well, wanted to show that off too. Feels kinda nice that they’re getting accessories again. 😁

(Even if said accessories are all unpainted work-in-progress models, printed purely to help with the modelling process and not intended to be their permanent pieces)

I managed to do this within three minutes of getting it out of the parcel. ☹️ Red Halo 3 grunts don’t appear to be anywhere near as common as the black spec ops ones on eBay. Hopefully I can switch this one’s lower body out with one of theirs.

The repair helps the leg hold on, but articulating it makes it more and more loose and it quickly needs the hot water treatment to set it back again.

At least I now have a sample of the gas mask I can use to design a 3D printable - nearly all the grunts in eBay seem to be missing theirs.
