   I like the redesign a lot better, though I find the number of 1-stud connections annoying — the model has a tendency to fall apart when posing. one stud connections include the shoulders, elbows and wrists (though those two seem pretty hardy), grey wedge plates on insides of forearms, white wedge plates on either side of each foot, toe wedges and heel domes.

I cheated with the running pose by disconnecting the right toe and resting it in position.

I must admit I thought the original versio was pretty ordinary, but you’re redesign has taken it from what looked like a first mech to something that looks like you’ve been building mech for years. The new legs are a treat.

Cheating is allowed on a moc this stylish. :)

Nice one.
