Yeah man after struggling with it for a while and then getting it off inserting the batteries and putting it back on, I noticed that little tab had broken off at some point. Crazy how difficult the piece was to remove in the first place.

along with the back piece, i had a tough time getting the head cover off. getting it on and off to flip the switch is ridiculous. i wonder if somehow the plastic got warped while sitting in the dock

seriously doubt it, its been mostly in the 60's for the last month. I would think summer months in the 100-110 range might cause issues but never heard of it happening.
 
Mine should be here Friday at the latest. Very happy to see him in person finally.
 
Best... Armor... Ever... How I got him for now, camera pics inbound later

You have to extend the waist before taking the back panel off. It comes off much easier. I saw that in Shartimus Prime's review before I got him. Would've been nice if they put that in the manual though.
 
Mine's got a few problems though, a nasty scratch on the faceplate. There was a matching scratch on the inside of the plastic in the box, something was wedged under there during transit. There's also a scuff though the white paint near the abs, and as I was tweaking the hands the right hand repulsor light died. I think the wire must have been hanging by a thread. We'll see what SS says...

Got confirmation of a new head and torso incoming from SS, hopefully will get everything in order

Actually, I already had it extended because I remembered that from his review. I guess my big ol mitts just couldn't get the job done.

If it bothers me enough eventually maybe I can find the piece for sale ha

Yea it still wasn't too easy even after extending the waist. My issue was a stripped screw on the back panel. It's nice that they give us the batteries separately but if they're going to do that then please make it easy for us to access the battery areas! The repulsor compartments were fine but the back was so tight it felt glued in. Had the same issue with WM 2.0.
 
This guy is waiting for me at home....cannot wait to get out of work! C'monnnnn 5pm!
Gotta love the excitement. I nearly missed the mailman delivering this because he rang the doorbell while I was in the bathroom. Had to run him down in the snow because no way in hell was I going to wait any longer for it haha
