NECA continues to amaze me with their accurate sculpts and character choices. I hate it when they leave out articulation though. So when I received my Army of Two figures I had to action. All of the straps used on the legs of Salem were either from the original figure or fodder. I painted everything on the lower half and dry brushed. Now he has full articulation to increase aggro and kick major @$$!
Everything from the waist up- NECA Elliot Salem
Legs- BTVS Spike
Boots- XMC Gambit
Knife and sheath- FO Punisher
Anyway - awesome work all around.
Questions though - what kind of articulation does upper bodies have? Is there an ab-crunch in both original NECA figures?
Also - how'd you separate the original upper torso from the NECA pelvis? Was any cracking-open involved, or more of a heat-and-pull method (since a lot of NECA figures seem to be solid-cast)?
Thanks!
