I'm putting together a box of Odalisques, and I noticed something really helpful they did with the arms - there's two sort of pins cast onto each arm, and each arm socket has two dimples. So when putting them together, they guide the arms into the correct position, which is really helpful with the Contender, rifle and shotgun. Do any of their other newer kits have this? If they do, it's a massive step in the right direction. the worst part for me is trying to get arms to line up, since my hands basically have 5 thumbs.

All of the new kits that I have purchase in the last two months have had them.

Haven't noticed them on any of mine - but I haven't got any new models in the last 4 months apart from the spec-ops and models that already existed prior to paradiso.

I tend to remove them and pin the joint anyway, though.

This system has been used for quite some time, great if you want to pose the model as intended, but adds a small extra work in armswaps/ conversions.

The earliest models I have with this system are the Myrmidons.

After putting my Odalisques together, I love the system. it wasn't foolproof - the new boarding shotgun still had some issues fitting the left arm to the adjoining hand under the barrel, but nothing like the difficulty I had on the older boarding shotgun. Poor girl had a complete left mastectomy to get the arms to line up. I also had to remove the nubs on the necks for the heads to slot onto - they were too big. But the arm system was fantastic.
