Merch Angus Young acquired!
Spotted this at my local Ross. Didn't know this existed until today.
Now I'd say the head sculpt could use some improvement. It's not bad. Showed my grandpa and he said something like "isn't he as white as a sheet?" And after looking at photos of Angus from that area I agree with him. You all can also see the box has seen some stuff. Still hanging onto it regardless so I have a spot to put his accessories and put him for storage when the time comes.
Edit: Iād also like to point out his face can look real wack from the top and sides.
The clothes are fabric and could use some work. Loose strings and it looks a bit big. Not to mention the tie is glued together plus the crushed velvet of his outfit sheds.[photo 12] It's also of note his pants have also stained his thighs. [Photo 11]
His shoes do have holes on the bottom for a stand. however he doesn't come with one. He also comes with a set of pointing hands [photo 6], an extra head [shown in both photos 6 & 13], a guitar [photos 13 & 14], and a hat without horns [photo 9]. And no, you can't put the hat on the spare head, the sculpt won't allow it. [photo 14]
The detail on the guitar is pretty nice and the strap can be removed. But i recommend being carful and gentle as you do so, its made of a soft PVC or plastic that will most likely snap with enough force. Also mine does have some sticky residue on it from the tape.
Articulation is pretty solid, however I wished he had better ankle articulation and his knees where double jointed; along with having a toe joint. Iād also like to point out his head pops off real easy and his arms canāt really move outward very well (Iām talking about how you would spread your arms for a T-pose). Might just be an issue in my Angus though. I'm also questioning why gave him muscles [Photo 10] and abs [photo 15]. Did they think we wouldn't notice? And yes I know his hips look weird [photo 16] but its hidden under the clothes plus it allows for some nice movement.
Gonna try to figure out how to pose him like he's duck walking (or whatever its called) like he does on stage and stick him on one of my shelves.
(edit: added more photo references and corrected spelling. as well as the joint issue notes.)
