hey Boba lovers :wave

Boba arrived today and because i only have 30 days to report anything missing, my brother recieved an early Christmas present.
i didn't want to open it nor have to wait till Christmas only to have something missing or something broke. though on December 25 i'll be like "dude, i gave you Boba remember?" *sigh* i like giving gifts. i think Boba looks great, though it'd be nice if the light from the base hit his face.
 
It would be like going back to 1996.

lol, I remember when that was a $200 figure.

My apologies if my observations are being interpreted as "trolling." Surprisingly, I've decided to pick Sideshow's version up despite its shortcomings because picking up all the parts that I want from Toy Anxiety for my kit-bash would cost almost just as much as buying the entire figure outright. I just didn't think that criticizing this figure would be interpreted as hostility towards the esteemed board members on this thread.

Nam has a wider view of what trolling is than I do, but my reference was to the idiots who repeatedly feel the need to come on here and put down others figure/pics even after stating they'll absolutely not buy it.
I have no problems with reviews from people like you and Rubio who are objectively pointing out issues/problems, but if you read the medi thread, then read this one, you will definitely see a trend of a few lifeless peeps with nothing better to do than stir ____. Including one person whos got nothing more in life that they have to make fae names when they're banned from here, because the real world obviously holds nothing for them. :wave

I like to think that I do a pretty good pointing out strengths, as well.
 
I just received mine, and took him out of the box.

first impression: WTF?

The arms are all fumbled, mostly because the sleeves of his jacket dont go under the thingies he has on his forearms.
The bodyarmor, well, it looks like the last 308 pages are about that so I don't think I can add any new perspective on that.
his legs: well, his left leg was about an inch shorter than the right one. I pulled it out a bit further but he's still uneven.

The regular stand looks great, as it did with IG-88. And at least Sideshow has listened to the complaints about the on/off switch.


Now i'm off to do some modifications on that horrible breastplate.
 
A great many times, the legs are uneven because the hip section is tilted on the figure. Grab each leg, pull them even, and whne the body tilts because of this action, hold the legs together and tilt the body straight.

I've seen it as the opposite, with the shins not being pushed up on the knee joints all the way. :huh
