I'm doing what I can to resolve this. Still waiting to hear back from the manufacturer.

Are the torso and waist one solid piece?

They seem to look like it, and I thought they were at first too, but I've seen pictures of the tooling and they are separate pieces. I think the look solid because they started that way and later got separated.

what about a cobra blue version throw a cobra stamp on the upper arm viola!

I'm planning to have an original sculpt done for a Cobra Trooper some point in the future.

I know it must be discouraging, but it looks better than that Spy Lounge figure, and hey look at the bright side - it's TRULY a 1982 figure - the straight arm version is first! Maybe if it sells well, you can do a swivel arm later.

Also, you may look into joining forces with Beggar's Canyon toys to have them design and print up a cardback and bubble for her and sell "limited editions" to raise more funds.

Tooling is undergoing modifications, this is a test shot. Swivel arms have been added, but still need to be reworked some more.

Glad to see progress is being made...Even these arm would be MUCH more useful than Strait arms... Tweek the arms, fix the crotch, and I think you'll do well.

Did the head get squished or is it just me? Nope, I looked back at some o the other sculpts and this head looks narrower than the others. Is that a picture issue or the actual sculpt issue?

I think it's the picture. Some pictures it looks bigger and others it looks really narrow.

Falcone, it almost looks like the waist is on backwards --

Progress is good. Arms look a little long, is waist on backwards? If you get a chance to do a chick lineup with the prototype - line them up - Baroness, Lady Jaye, Scarlett, Covergirl and a Nightstalker.

Keep chipping away at it! Great job so far!

I thought the waist was on backwards as well, but I have pictures of the backside and it is definitely not on backwards. The head looks smaller and the waist looks bigger from the final prototype. It has to be a trick of the light, camera angles, and the colors of the material.

I've put up a Kickstarter for 5 repaints of Shooter. This does not include Shooter itself or the Joe Trooper and Amber repaints. If you are interested in those three figure you will have to wait until their release to buy them.

Each $10 contribution will get you one of the 5 figures pictured in the project. You can choose which figures you want, there is no limit to any one figure. Production of Shooter is beginning very shortly. So this project is only 2 weeks long, as I have to make a decision on whether to do these figure before production ends.

Backed. Good luck!

Backed! Make it happen captain!

Maybe you could partner up with Marauder Gun Runners for the gear and guns - their last kick-starter project was a success!

It will be ridiculous if the O-Ring community gets a SHOOTER before any of our Slayer/O-Ring Forever exclusives.

Just backed this and figured I'd give it a bump. Hope you reach your goal!
