LOL. The Snow Serpent was the very first 25th Joe I bought. I happily opened him up... marveled at the glorious sculpting... delighted in the range of movement... and when put his gun in his hand the AK-47's stock suddenly bent back a little and there was this huge light grey bend streak and I freaked out a little. LOL. After that I was more careful when I put my weapons and gear on my Joes.

That knee makes it very difficult to post them, especially given all the gear they haul.

I have 18 of these guys and they are lined up like dominoes in my display case and not once have they ever fallen over due to thier bad knees (balanced well on thier stands and thier backpacks with arms specially placed to keep the balance)...give em a break paratrooping into blinding snow storms does a number on your legs! not to mention your knees! LOL that is how I explain thier knee issues. As for the guns mine are slung to thier backpacks with thier snow skis... anyways with marching orders not to leave formation when on parade display...

You know, sometimes soldiers carry rifles with the stock NOT tucked underneath their arm (it's a little more comfortable, imo). It shouldn't look unnatural if that's the way you have to display them.

To get more realism your going to have to go with Hot Toys or Sideshow figures unfortuantley. Most joe figures can not hold thier weapons in a realistic manner. Joes are toys for kids like alot say, they are not looking for 100% accurate military poses. Think back to your original 80s joes. They could not hold thier weapons right either. Most kids won't care and in the end if they break the gun's stock, mommy has to buy a new one!

Oh and let us not forget the ginormous hand gun that sat in the joes hand a certain way so they had to turn if they wanted to shoot straight. My Snow Serpies are being insubordinate as we speak, they want snow and I keep tellling them they'll have to wait til Nov or Dec.
