I just read that they have to go through charging even if there are no fees, so i might not get charged. Come on lady luck shine on me please.
To be fair i've no idea if mine even went through that process cuz the tracker didn't seem to be working properly, it went from being at Manchester Depot to delivered, no 'out for delivery' message, they must have teleported them!
Crazy i tell you, crazy stuff. Insane even
Mine are waiting at the PO for pick-up. I will tell you with all of the negative feedback I am almost tempted to sell them before I even open them. I'm not one of those that likes to alter. I believe with the money spent that they should be near perfect OOTB. I have this same argument with the new SSC Boba Fett and his lego block upper torso. People are saying it can be altered to make it look right. I say BS. It should already look right for almost $200.
It looks like i won't get these until next week.
I don't spend $375 to have to be gluing joints so they work properly! I'll be asking for a new EB body if my come with loose legs or anything like that. I really want the figures though so no way am i selling them or asking for a refund.

Looking at this pic, guess it'll be better to take off the snap on and stick two pieces of magnets in the insides of the coat. Might work better

Took some quick pix -
The head sculpts are almost perfect. I am very happy with them.
My TLJ is definitely sober, not drunk. haha.
He looks good with shades in too IMO.
Close up on face detail -
May I have you attention please??

Regarding the actual handling experience:
Yes, those legs are not tight. K has better legs that J. The basic issue is how they make the knee joint that it allows them to bend beyond straight and not locking in. My ankles are ok so I can still manage to stand them up for photos, but I will use the stand for prolong display.
Elbow joints are tight, and also sometimes the forearm got twisted backwards that prohibit you to actually bend the arms properly. I tried to feel them out with the jackets on and cannot properly figure it out, so I ended up needing to remove their jackets, make sure they are in the right directions, and bend them a few times to loosen them up. Then everything is alright.
The suits are pretty well made, with a relatively thinner fabric so it does not look bulky. However, that piece of thick felt shoulder pad in the jackets make them look like they are wearing a football jersey. I have to take off the jackets to "train" the elbows anyway, so I ended up also removing those shoulder pads, and as you can see in the pictures, the suit is much more fitted now.
Yes, those buttons on the jacket sleeves are glued on and comes off easily. So be careful not to loose them. 2 of mine came off while putting on and off the jackets. Nothing a dab of glue can't fix. I actually used white glue, coz those dries clear.
When I got time after Comic-Con, I will probably play with them more and take more pictures. Overall, I am pretty satisfied with how they come out. $376 shipped for the pair is considered a decent price nowadays I guess, since I believe everything else will be approach $275 + shipping per single figure by the end of the year....

Yeah, managed to move the arms with a bit of force (very scary...I'm generally a klutz and things break as soon as I look at them.) Had to do the glue thing on both sets of legs, but they've been stood on my shelf, stand less, since Tuesday without any problems.

Are Enterbay and Hot Toys the same size? Wondering if it will merit an all out mod with body swap. Reports on this are all over the place. Hopefuly this won't be my first and last 1:6 Enterbay purchase the headsculpts are amazing.
J and K are a good head taller than my HT figures.

It does sound as though EB rushed the first batch to meet the 21 delivery date. They usually do a second run, and most of these could end up as replacements for the first batch the way things are going.
The RM-4 and 4.2 are good replacements for the bodies. It's likely that the main reason that they're taller than HT figures is that the majority of the HT movie figures are sporting beets not feet in boots. EB always put feet in boots. I've got TT's with feet in boots and there is not much height difference.

really surprised at the qc issues, managed to heat up and pry the broken elbow joint out and replace with a truetype forearm and elbow joint seems to work ok now, but the legs are awful, the feet are not flush so TLJ cant stand at all, even with the stand its near impossible, the ankle seems really delicate and awkard, the knees are loose and the hips are tight..........unless mine is one of very few....really blows my mind they could let this ship ......because the sculpts, suits and look is top notch but them bodies are excrement

Hopefully batch two will address issues, if not, as I keep saying, RM-4.2's and RM-4's are ideal replacements.

With all the talk about bad QC. I'm a little nervous now about getting mine. Not a good thing when this is my first Enterbay purchase. Talk about first impressions! 
Mine arrived at my local post office yesterday. Here's hoping I don't have to deal with EB Customer Service.

Don't worry. They're marked as $50 value.
Mine came in requiring a little hands on loving. Had to remove both their coats, feel for the elbow, and simply bend in opposite direction. Super easy to fix the elbow issue. My agent K required removal of one shoe/sock to access a bothersome ankle joint. Had to push it in really hard so he would have equal length legs. I'm probably going to need to heat and repair my noisy cricket's bent needle barrel. Only thing wrong with my figures is a missing button from one of agent J's coat sleeves, but it's not noticeable really. Are the legs loose? They're looser than HT, but they can still support my figures without a stand. If you pose them, their tight suit pants make it hard for them to collapse even if they were extremely loose IMO.
All in all, an excellent job by Enterbay. I'm ecstatic!
