Wow. I wonder what the reasoning is behind that...

I don't know if it's already been said, but these aren't fresh interpretations at all. They're based off the Dave Rapoza fan art drawings that everyone has already seen.

I went to pick mine up from DHL.
I am really happy with the quality, putting Leo on the sewer pipe was a little awkward because of the way the peg is shaped. I especially like the swords - they are made of metal. Quality feels good. |

I feel like the other 3 will be more impressive in statue form due to pose and size. Packaging from sideshow was INSANELY good!

I completely agree with the hunched over look, definitely not the strongest pose of the four. I guess appropriate for the leader to take charge. |

I think Im looking forward to Mikey most in this line. I love his look. The Donny is also very well done

I'm loving Leo but I had a hell of a time getting him all the way down on his base. The peg is really difficult to cram into the knee without fear of breaking the model. After 5 or 6 times of putting him together and taking him apart it's been a bit better but I still can't get his feet all the way down to actually touch the base. Anyone else have trouble with that?

I'm applying quite a lot of pressure and still I'm about 3/16" shy of the feet on the base. Guess I just need to keep on working on it. I had no issues with the rest of the pieces. The scabbards were a little bit of a pain, but with a little force they went in fine.

FYI I did not have to push it down at all. I had to rotate the knee a bit since its a square in there.

Oh! That's actually quite helpful. Mine is quite similar. Maybe just a bit worse, but that does seem to be roughly the same issue I am having.Even to get it that close took a bit of work. i was afraid of accidentally snapping his belt/sash, but it looks like the foot on yours is off the base a little bit as well. I guess it's normal then. Thank you for that.

Yes sir. The knee looks similar to yours but each foot is just off the base by a small amount. I see where they are supposed to rest. The bump out on the foot shows how is should sit along the lip of the pipe on the front facing foot. Anyhow i think it will just take a little breaking in to get him all the way down sitting flush.
