I added some weathering overall and covered the torso ball joint with plastic shopping bag to tighten it. The plastic used for Spartan Collection is really heavy, Jorge's joints just aren't up for the task of that huge torso and giant gun. But the figure looks great so you take what you get.
Although it’s nice that Jorge is a big bigger than the rest of Noble Team, I really wish they would’ve just made him even bigger say around head and shoulders above at least Noble Six, as his height out of the armor is 7’4, and in armor he’s around 8’0, I would’ve been fine with it if he were even a bit more expensive (say around 25 to possibly 30, Y’know standard deluxe stuff) but overall he ain’t too bad. Nice review man, keep up the good work!
Can't believe how rubbery he is, including joints compared to the plastic used in older figures. Looks great I just hope his joints don't bend over time after weight being on them
Yea jazwares has a few figures with the weird gummy joints which is really unfortunate and annoying but at least the newest wave goes back to being more solid
Also, the old Jorge toy has weirdly cast feet, where there's a joint in the middle that's too bulbous. He can't stand well. I'm curious to get this new one and compare them.
I always just use a hair dryer to heat what I need, the head and waist just pop off on there own, some times you can get the legs from the ball joint other times they only seem to want to come off at the thigh either way heat on those works and I haven’t taken the arms off from the body in forever but I remember the first wave you could, but you can also take them from the arm swivel again with heat just don’t over heat them either

Yea 30 for slightly bigger with alternate head wouldn’t be bad also Thanks!!!
Yeah I would like Jorge to be taller than what the figures are.
The thumbnail looks like he’s trying to start a lawnmower
Aside from the knees, I'm stoked to get this thicc boi

I have the old McFarlane toy of him, and i had to glue the backpack on then, too.

scale wise Jorge shoul dbe like a head or two taller than all of noble team. That's more an issue with the other noble team figure to me.
How do you fully disassemble them for customizing?

The figures arms are a the same size as the regular spartans...kinda wish they were a tab bit longer as his legs
Yeah honestly I feel like he’s just a little shorter than he should be
