[samurainoir]

Yeah, Might as well go with a ZICA body.
What is that on his groin?

Thank you, Azrak (obviously I didnīt upload the picture by myself).

The size of the RAH220 legs can be taller by using the rings you can see. And also can be bigger by attaching that loose parts seen in the picture. A really neat ideas that works very well.
To me the positions that RAH220 figures can obtain are among the most realistic of any action figures size. And I love the designs and their sculpting quality. Unfortunatelly RAH220 have some serious issues: Feet breake off always, arms and legs get loose, and the latex-based cloth painting cracks.
I will put few more pictures of that (with some help...).

Yeah, I have a couple RAH220s and try to be very careful when handling them. Great detail and design, but notoriously fragile.

RAH is fragile at all scales. I have a base body from a RAH Boba Fett that has lost two limbs simply being moved from one shelf to another. Great posability, but not so fun when you feel that little 'snap'

Very true, which is why I don't collect much of them. They either break or are very loose and floppy. Too bad, Medicom licensed the Combat Joe body from Takara (who licensed the body from Hasbro) but neglected to make their bodies as tough and durable as the original Joe bodies. It's like they were thinking that since their stuff was aimed at collectors, they didn't need to have their bodies hold up to playing and posing like Takara and Hasbro did. A shame because they've made some great looking figures. But it's ridiculous to pay the prices they are asking when the stuff is so fragile. I refuse to pay the high MSRP for their figures, I'll only buy them cheap at Mandarake and other used toy stores.

What is that monstrosity?

Hmmmm....

I've seen a few bodies like this.... mostly from Japan. They're made to be clothed, or to have a rubber skin suit over them, so they don't look so good nekkid. Neat; expensive, and kinda fragile. Too bad nobodyu does an upscaled 8" version of the new Microman bodies. They're awesome! (I use 'em as artist dummies for doing poses.)

Sorry... I was unable again to put the RAH220 pictures here on the thread by myself. They are on the User gallery- Gallery Directory, if somebody want to see them. The back of the RAH220 is pictured, a dressed figure, and also is pictured a figure that shows the most common isssues.

I just hate when the 'arse joint' for lack of a better word breaks. then you have to try and attach the leg with a screw and it never works right again.

I have the clear cyborg rah220 figures and I always remain 'this close' to just putting the suits on regular 8" cyborgs. I hate the bodies, but I deal with it because I love the toys as a whole (and don't have a better transparent smoke colored 8" body.)
