I can't tell anything about the legs in either one between the dark pictures and robe.

That's what I have concluded Sideshow is mostly. A bunch of pie in the sky artists. They just hand it off to the factories to figure out how to reproduce these things. That is why I understand their relationship gives the factories more control than we realize.

They were silly not to make it more stable plus the rider is leaning to the weaker side ??? Sideshow??

I was really worried that could happen to mine, so i sold it. That just flat out sucks. Leaning on one statue every once in a blue moon is possible, but the 89 Batman, DROM, Reaper LSF, Wolverine LSF are all pretty recent. I could be forgetting some. That's unacceptable. SS should be offering refunds for leaning issues if the product has a history of doing so.

On most SS pieces, that's why I don't mind waiting down the road to pick up their stuff cause if someone has had something displayed for 3 years and it hasn't shown any issues, it will prolly last in the long run.

look at in hand pics. The leg positioning is different. The new designed base might also assist with this too.

Also they have shown no pictures of his leg armour will it have the same lions on his knee armour and religious caricaturs on his calfs? plus people should read about these issues with statues with low #es high value $ before trusting SS with their hard earned dollars on the new Spiderman P.F. standing up without issue.

Guys need help here. I found helmet head and the sword arm from version 1. Only thing is im wondering if version 2 allow interchangeables from version 1? I'm guessing yes since it's pretty much same cast....I called SSC but they weren't sure yet

Most of us on here will not have definitive yes or no answer ! I'm assuming you will be able to as I don't think head and arms are all attached to body as one piece! Then again I'd hate to have yoi spend the money on the pieces and not be able to display them... Good luck ..

I also wonder if the paint would even match in that case.

Good point. Anyhow I'm going to take a chance at it. Most likely they will able to swap.

I'd also be worried about the magnets working together.
I think this guy has magnets right? Can't remember. Been a while since I switched anything out on it.
