I just got mine delivered. Really excited but will have to do a bit of work first.

Pretty cool that everyone's enjoying this piece. All the reasons I had for not picking it up have been crossed out one by one by happy collectors - except the one that counts, which is a decided lack of moulah. No way I'd miss Neytiri though, so hopefully the positive reception sees sales pick up to the point that HT commits to making her.
 
I flippen loooove this figure!! I think it's one of my faves.

The articulation and details are amazing.

Last night I left a window open so a clipping of feathers fell off. Oh and I already broke one wrist peg so be careful there.

Actually, I am very pissed off here as the wrist peg that broke is now stuck on the hole and I cannot get the hand on now.

Any idea on how to pull out that broken off peg?
 
For me this figure still looks cheap. I know in terms of quality and design its really is great but the "nakedness" of the figure and the perpetual blue underwear just kills it for me. But hey, this is still awesome, and I know in person it will look better. Plus...I think a lot of people will jump on board as soon as his other half is released =P....
 
I got it but have not opened it yet. I know it's the main character and I liked the movie alot but I wish it was Nyteri and only Nyteri. One and done.

Loved the movie but it's just a weird thing because I think the character design for this movie is so stupid. They looked like fanart blue fairy designs from a 12 year old. I always thought Jake looked the silliest and Nyteri looked the best. If they put out Nyteri I might honestly sell Jake.

Use a small dremmel bit to get rid of it. It's a bit scary, but if your hand is steady you can drill though the peg and not harm the arm. Ive had to do it 3 or 4 times.

By dremmel I assume you mean a small drill bit head?

Are we essentially talking about breaking up that piece that's broken off into fragments so it will just crumble and fall out?

Exactly the same thing happened mine Eamon. The easiest thing to do is get a small screw, twist it in until it gets a grip then pull out the broken peg with it, at least that's what I did.
