Yeah I was sad it couldn't hold water or slime. I tried my reproduction Ooze in it and it leaked slowly as everyone said. However from my observations the reason is because they didn't design the hip and shoulder joints the same as the classic. The classic had joints that were part of the glass body mold to just pop on the limbs. The new added ball joint limb was added wrong. Possibly from being reused in the line. They left open areas in the clear shell where the new ball joints are. If you look at the shoulder ones you can clearly see what I mean. There was No Molding over a area of it to seal it. Seams more like someone didn't cast the mold right. They could reissue it fixed or with a added seal over those areas inside.

PDanny - get some clear caulk silicone from homedepot, attempt to seal those edges (from outside as a test) and yhe may be be able to retain fluids, maybe not - but essentially using a qtip (remove the cotton) and attempt to apply a thin wall of silicone to seal that edige join, elminating any air gaps, it will make it water tight (unless the water is coming out at joints ). The silicone can be super easily removed as well, rubs right off - no perma risk or damage!

My biggest problem with this figure is its lack of paint application. I know they want to keep true to the original, but I thought part of this whole line was to IMPROVE on the Playmates versions. Instead, they left the guts all pink (including the skull). The exposed bone on the left knee is intact, but is still flesh colored. The bumps and creases on the skin could also have used some kind of gradient to make those details pop more. When compared to Baxter, it's clear how much Super7 really didn't make as much effort to bring new life into this figure. And yes, not retaining the action feature is a real let-down. Having the floaty bits (which include an UNPAINTED pizza slice) just adds insult to injury.

Didn't Brian Flynn confirm in his chat with you previously that Mutagen Man wouldn't be water tight? He knew it was a sacrifice they had to make to get that articulation into the figure. I'm sure if they kept the hip joints the same as the original figure then it would have been water tight, and then you would have fans complaining that the articulation was limited. Ive never had this figure in hand before, only pics and vids etc, so I have no real nostalgia for him, but one thing I will say is I never noticed the actual skull inside the figure until I saw the new version, and you compared both figs side by side. That does look cool, and the newer details on his insides I really like.

I fully understand why Dan feels the way that he does about this figure. For me personally, even if the figure were water-tight and designed to be filled with water, I still wouldn't want to do that for concern about how that could effect the figure long-term. and I wouldn't want to worry about accidentally knocking it over and water going all over the place if the thing on the top of his head were to open or something. Not that it's a big issue for me either way (I have this TMNT wave in hand and Mutagen Man is a great figure as-is IMO), but if it had been feasible, it would have been nice if somehow the body/torso could be open up, and if there was a way to place those little accessories that would float inside the vintage around the inside of the new figure so they stay in place, suspended inside the figure, giving the appearance of floating. As-is, the issue with putting those things inside of him is that they just sit at the bottom. Maybe they also could have included some kind of optional part to attach along the inside "wall" of the torso that would somehow give an appearance of him being filled with water. It is not a deal breaker for me either way, but these would still be nice options IMO. That said, while the wasn't one of my personal favorites (I never even had the vintage figure), I can fully understand and agree with wanting Mosquitor to have that blood pumping feature. That would be like Robot not having gears that move (which they did include in the MOTUC figure).
