I finally got my HB last night, and I need to echo everyone ele's sentiments. This is easily the most complex "toy" I have ever seen. It's not just a beast; it's Cthulu.
My first impressions:
>articulation is good from the waist up. I wish the legs could spread for more dynamic poses, but I realize the due to his weight, that would make him quite unstable.
>HB has cankles. I guess I never noticed in the movie, but the feet and ankles of this figure seem out of proportion to the rest of the body. Again, I realize, that is probably a weight and stability issue.
>Soap Reactor is mandatory for this figure. I was not planning on getting one and never turning on the lights, but I see now what I would be missing out on.
>Paint application is great as usual, but I feel the need to add more soot and black coloring all over. Weathering on the battle damaged panel needs to be increased as well. Will do that this weekend.
> I love exploring this figure for more surprises and finding other armor panels that move. I think the double and triple ball joints on some of the armor placements are fantastic. Makes them feel like they are floating
