I don't have any plans to ever buy one of these Fangs and I think the figure is pretty horrible overall (no offense if there are any fans of it here). I'm just curious about how they constructed it and whether there are any usable parts anywhere on this pilot.
Was the torso still fully detailed or did they do what they did on the Classified Snake Eyes and skip detailing under the vest? I know you said they put a red sigil on there, but I'm assuming that's just a paint app and not actually sculpted in any way. I'm curious if they did any sculpting under there in general (pockets/pouches, fabric wrinkles, etc.) and if the torso is still full-size under there or if they shrank it down so the vest wouldn't bulk it up too much (like what Marauder did with their Agency Ops jacketed torsos). The pilot is such a hodgepodge of weird choices that I'm curious about what's under the hood, so to speak.
I’ll try my best to describe it, so forgive me if this sounds useless or stupid…
The chest is full, with slight wrinkled fabric sculpted, with a vertical seam down the front center (we’re supposed to pretend it’s zipped together). As they did on each of the upper right shoulder sleeves, the upper left breast has a place for a patch to be sewn/Velcro placement, but no patch or details are there.
The lower left breast has a hole so that the air mask oxygen canister peg can insert through a hole in the vest and into the chest of the action figure, to hold it in place.
Under the black belt at the waist is a smaller narrow featureless belt sculpted on, with a slightly detailed belt buckle.
No pockets to mention under the vest or anywhere else on the figure, but the upper arms do have sculpted on bands with a tiny little pouch on each.
