The lower arms of the Retro HISS Driver figure released do have a better/longer cuff to match the original, whereas the POC Shock Trooper arms barely have a cuff. But those are some damn long arms and hands...
Love when you get going--we see the same things on almost all these 2020 releases, where it seems most are pretty content with the offerings.
But I guess it doesn't really upset me at this point. Fixing and tweaking these guys to me liking has been my thing for a few years, and has made the 3.75 modern Joes my all-time favorite toy line due to that interaction with the figures mixed in with the nostalgia of my youth. The only thing that really irked me was Scarlett, but I'm over most of that.
Your own recent fixes have been great, and it had to be kinda fun to figure out, execute, and show off. So why complain, eh?
I guess your right. I did enjoy "fixing" these figures.
