So in posing with Raphael more, it's really hard for me to get him in as much dynamic poses without him leaning on his front shell a lot I noticed. I was actually kind of shocked because his joints weren't stiff AT ALL when I got him out of the box compared to Donatello which took some time to loosen everything up. It's not like it's flimsy or anything and I can still get his hands raised and posed, but the arms didn't feel as stuck in place as I think these figures tend to be when you first get them.
Also, I'm not sure if it was mentioned here or on the Sideshow Freaks forum but the paint seems to come off fairly easily on the "metal" part of the sai after messing around with it on his belt. I may have to repaint it if I keep trying to store it in his holster unfortunately.
Is anyone else's Raph having "topple forward" of an ab crunch as this? I saw that some people were having issues with Donnie so is this similar?
holding it up
leaning forward
All in all, I'm still really happy with the figure and can't wait for the rest of them. What kind of poses are you guys sticking with for Raph?
