Ah, yes. Concussive blast. Fair point.

How do you propose utilizing a swap out arm on a statue where the arms don't detach to begin with?

Is this confirmed? From the look of the images, both arms have seams that look like they are not attached to the statue. I could be wrong though. I always look for seams on a statue, and if they are attached to the statue, they do not appear to be molded to the body originally.

That would be my display as well. I never understood the smoking effect (is it energy blast residue?) and the blast is just ugly to me.

I still don’t know if I want to just keep my OG or get this. I don’t need multiples of the same costume. I’m getting new Jean. I got rid of the old one already. But there’s pros and cons about each Cyclops. They’re both on rocks. Rogue and Jean were far easier decisions.

What would be awesome? The new sculpt with the old pose. Instant purchase.

Definitely looks like seams there.

Yeah, those are definitely seams. Makes sense that they wouldn't ship the whole upper torso as one piece.

But it looks like the seams are below the shoulder, to do the hand to head the angle wouldn't work I believe as both shoulders are down.

I believe you're right. No realistic way to meet that pose.

The original PF would be nearly perfect if he weren't looking up into the sky. A shame this one doesn't come with the leather jacket. Maybe someone will make a run of custom jackets.

You should have said, "...convince others that they shouldn’t purchase it either?"

Perhaps before you comment on other peoples' spelling, you should review your grammar.
No, what I said was correct.

One does not have to purchase the item in order to acquire it. They can receive it as a gift.

A "hater" does not distinguish between acquiring the item thru ones own personal means or as a gift. They simply request NO ONE acquires the item because they can't have it themselves.

ie- "I wouldn't accept the Psylocke PF if Sideshow paid me, therefore no one should buy it."

That is the sentiment I was referring to.

But thank you for caring so much. Try again some other time.
