Hey Joe, are you able to compare to the original release and tell us if the changes they made to accommodate the new LED visor has changed the sculpt or shape of the head at all? Judging from your pics it doesn't look any different at all, which is impressive.

Great photo shoot as always, BTW.

Strange, since I have two of the Ultimate City Hunters and they both stand perfectly with no loose joints at all. But I have the initial Ultimate City Hunter release...judging by the paintjob on yours, you have the more recent re-release with had some changes. I picked up one of those for spare parts and I noticed that they hips and waist were actually quite loose compared to the original release.

The original Ultimate City Hunter also had a more movie-accurate paintjob IMO, with more subdued colors, more color blending from area-to-area, and glossier plastic that made the flesh look more realistic. The re-release that you have, on the other hand, has a brighter color scheme with less blending and duller plastic, which makes it look more "toy-like." The re-release does have hinged wrists as opposed to the ball joints on the original, but the slightly-improved range of motion (albeit up and down, not side to side) isn't that big of a deal. I really prefer the original Ultimate.
