Here's mine, busted lightsaber & all. Still waiting on SS. Just imagine it with a working lightsaber. Oooooooooo
Received mine today, everything looks good. I think someone else mentioned this but the cape is hard to fine. Once you take everything else out you have to flip the styrofoam packaging over and there is a panel with tape that holds the cape.
I'll take some pictures with my DSLR a little later. I have to say that I had some concerns as I was putting it together, there is a lot of plastic on this piece. Not just the helmet but the shoulder/chest armor and I think maybe the shin guards. Once it is all put together though it looks great and you completely forget about the plastic. Overall this is an awesome piece. The light up features are amazing.

The lights work at least and no damage except to my opinion of SSC. Lol. It looks good from a distance.

As the title premium format suggests I expect premium quality. More specifically, attention to detail. My HT 6th scale Vader has better detail. Then theres the shotty paint apps on the base... It looks good from a distance.

What details are missing? It looks pretty much like the proto. Nice photos by the way. Looks like yours turned out nicely!
Just some pix. I'm hoping to get the surrounding done in the next week or 2. I considered just getting vinyl but it's tough to not do it myself. If I pull it off it will be great. Just a note to anyone that doesn't know my room is under construction still. I'm looking to start wiring in the next week. Love how the saber looks in the last pic.

It turned out nice. Again from a distance it looks good. I think the grills of the face mask (mouth area) lack detail. The helmet over all looks good. But just those little things make a difference to me. The paint on the light Saber hilt is crap, IMO. The base, the paint apps aren't premium at all. Those are the details I'm referring to. Mostly quality nit picks.

Go back a few pages and you can see some comparison shots.

Base should have been a darker grey imo. Too bad he's 500.00. Guess when price hits that point unfortunately a piece will get nitpicked, even by myself. Will wait to order for a while. ES being so big, will let production bugs get worked out first.

or should i say, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

I guess that's what I mean. It's nice. But it could be better. I really like it as a whole. However, when broken down into individual parts, I start noticing little details that should have been done better.

That's just a factor of taking photos of LEDs, it's always going to be a mess. (mostly)
It's plenty red in real life.
