Sounds a little weird

Yeah I don't think anyone is going to display him in the Larry Bird pose though it does kind of look cool to have this towering droid next to my puny medicom figs...

but he feels like he is a load of parts just about hanging together! Love him though.

Actually he looks (like he is a load of parts just about hanging together) that way too! I him too.

With all the people that have this in hand already, I am wondering when BBTS will get theirs in. Does anybody know when they will receive their stock? It seems like a long time between drinks.

I did a quick MOD to the IG, not sure if any one else noticed but the light around the rim shows. So I covered the rim up and it looks better.

The top pic is without the MOD.

With MOD

Should have been the way it came!

Lopie! Looks great! How'd you do it?

My ig-88 elbow joints are pretty weak - they really cannot hold a pose with either weapon drawn; anyone found an easy solution?

Thanks

Looks like more of these guys are going to end up with the Ugnaughts.

Nice! I was a bit bugged by that on mine... so what did you do? Is it a layer of paint, marker, or something else?

I used glue and an exacto knife. I dab the exacto knife with some glue then I trace the area that shows the light. Let dry then I painted the glued area with flat black paint.

 

[galactiboy]

Cool! Thanks for the tip

Just got mine from Sideshow and something tells me it's a previously returned item. One of the fingers is loose as hell and the trays are re-taped together and there's tape over the mines and such with a different kind of tape. And it didnt come in the usual brown shipper. It was a slightly bigger box with no text on it.

How do you light his head up?

I really wish they had made a small instructions manual like HT do

What's the glue for? Why not just paint it?

I used the glue to fill in the space, painting it alone won't work the space needs to be filled.

Ok Gotcha. I just got home and looked at what you are talking about. There's a tiny gap that needs to be sealed. Cool.

I never really noticed before, but it looks like SSC tried to fix the issue with the stripe of black paint, but it failed.
