Thanks for the update, EZTOYDUDE !

These bootlegs are pretty quality stuff for the cost. At least we have something movie related regardless. It’s better than nothing which is why I’m glad you brought it to this forum.

Hope you enjoy the movie.

Oh i know but its the closest thing to our scale

it's all we CAN do lately, but be "INSPIRED to create".

So thanks, Creator, and ALL of you ARKers here that continue to inspire me to create, play, and enjoy.

Btw,Creator, i hope Mrs. Creator and the family aren't too upset with the amount of time you must have spent on those INSANE creations.

Not quite, but close enough for cool set ups.

i agree, Mattel's Jurassic World, like Lanard's The Corps & their movie lines, have really gone full steam with the amount of quality 3.75 inch product.

Owen's sculpt is too good to pass up, so in case many of you are wondering...
Without further ado, i present my latest Marvelous Joe...

Appreciate the offer, brother. Likewise, I can dig up some MU fodder for you.

Speaking of which, how do you crack MU torsos so seamlessly?

Considering how big he looks in the movie, I don't think he looks too big at all.

Sender really simple as to what I do bro here we go.....
1st
I use wire snippers to cut along the split because it is visible

2nd
gently pull the torso apart ( clean up any debris )

3rd
put the torso back together and get sandpaper ( I prefer 320 )
do a light sand and eureka.

Hope that this helped a little.

It helps ALOT!
Thank you Creator!

As you might guess, i'm more accustomed to cracking JOEs with a Xacto and hadn't cracked any MUs before.
With the Black Order in sight, i thought i would ask a proper MU mechanic. Thanks.
