Rip's together!....some prepics taken...not downloaded yet....
MF's right! Excited ain't the word for it! I'm SUPPOSED to be taking a ton of newspapers out right now....but can't stop on this PL!
Reading the instructions....thinking....I want to add some silver dings first, before I build it, And that's it. Just downloaded a ton of images of the real PL from online, and am studying where the silver dings are....silver marker pen in hand...it won't need too many actually. The paint on it is top notch! TOP!
Wait til you see your's!
It is a breathtaking moment to open the box though. You sort of swoon...
I had to sit down.
Pics soon! No hoses for a while, so I can ding...bear with me....this is heavy stuff!

I can't. For some reason, my computer doesn't see my camera now. I can't get it to download any photos. I even did some movies to try and download, and in my fear that I had done something wrong, I deleted them. Sorry guys. I had one about how to add dings. I am kinda mad right now.
Also, I cannot get my back arm pistons to come out of the larger shell, so I can attach them to the ball joint mounts at the butt area. It's like they are locked in place or something. It is together, and Ripley is in it, looking cool and posed. The thing poses great and the ankles seem good and tignt, like it won't fall over. Her hands are holding the arms in pose now, as is the swivet joint at the upper shoulder of the PL. You can turn it for various arm abilities.
Anyway...
I am furious that my camera won't work. I have a Canon A540 and it loaded pics fine the other day. I am not sure what has happened. I don't know how to delete programs in Vista, so I can't delete and reload the software.
Just take my word for now, THIS FIGURE RULES! And I am pissed at my system. I wish I could share with you guys.
Maybe I can later.
Other than this setback, all is cool.

Les, here's how to go about uninstalling apps in Vista.
Start > Settings > Control Panel
In the Control Panel Window, you’ll find a text link in the column to the left that says Classic View, click that to see a more familiar setup.
Double Click on Programs and Features.
A list comes up with all your apps like old Windows, then you’ll see a bar just above that list and should find and Uninstall option when you’ve highlighted the app you want to remove.
Good luck, let me know if you need more help.

I'm very happy for you Les...that you got your PL! I still haven't got mine. I just called Fed Ex customer service today, and told them that my tracking information had NOT been updated in four days. She said it was due to the fact that Fed EX does not update home delivery tracking daily? Huh? Why is that I asked? She said it's because my PL is on a big 18-wheeler truck going from California to me in Louisiana now. That is one more reason for me to ask Sideshow to switch my future shipments to U.P.S. At least they do daily home delivery tracking! So, my PL is still scheduled to be delivered to me sometime tomorrow. I hope it is after I get back home from work at 3:30pm. The way my luck has been going watch them have tried to deliver it to me at 3:00pm...and the notice will be on my front door....."SORRY WE MISSED YOU".....arrrghhhh!
I just hope that doesn't happen, and tomorrow afternoon I'll finally announce that I have my PL with me!

Amazing how panic can make you resourceful Les
Little tip for people, when you get your Power Loader, don't panic over the size of the shipping box, the actual Power Loader box is about 1/3 the depth, there's a lot of package padding inside. I FREAKed when I first saw the box because I didn't expect it that big then when I opened it, I was like ok, much smaller. The length and width are the same as the shipping box though. I'm still at work so no time to do anything, but glad it's in hand at last.

Hey Les. Check with Ill Jedi about your piston problem with you PL. I saw him post something earlier about that in this thread. I'd like to know too in case I run into the same problem with mine.

Not really, the most difficult part was removing the rods on the back those were a b!tc#, but the rest was a breeze. Hot Toys really did a good job on making sure it could be put together and taken apart with little problem. It also fits back in the box perfectly.
There's what he said back on page 49 of this thread. Try to send him a PM Les, and see what he says about those tough pistons. I may do that too.

NO problem!
Done with a silver marker paint pen. More to do, all about it, but it didn't have dings everywhere even in the movie. Needs a few more scratches and all. When I get the back pistons and hoses done....Will repaint Rip and her attire also.
There are some bits to be resolved about it, pistons, dings whatnots, but all in all, AN AMAZING PIECE! I love it! Hope you get your's everyone! Intact!
And yeah, that shipping box had me spooked! Mine was TRASHED! The box inside was fine.
And Ill, if you read this, post more info about the pistons for us all! We need to know!
Thanks Mike! Good luck on your's!

Les, how will you repaint Ripley clothes, especially her shirt? I wanted to show the dirt and sweat she had all over that white t-shirt by the time of the end of the movie and the big PL fight with the alien queen mother. What paints will you use...I mean what colors? How do you think we can get those effects or looks of dirt, grime and sweat on her shirt? Were you going to do any painting on her pants? Let me know. Your help with painting is always greatly appreciated!

Will do. WHen I get there.
Family arrivals imminent! Kids! Hence PL on high shelf away from little fingers! And I am glad it looks almost Gruson-ish displayed there too!
Anyway, I will show pics of repainted Rip when I get to her. I like how this one is taller! They added about a half inch to this one when they put the ball snaps in the shoes. Looks better and is easier to handle now.
Lots of good things to say about this PL. Amazed at it. I did put the antennas on it! Forgot them when I shot pics.
Great stuff guys. This is a grail of grails for many here. I look most forward to the gifs.
I'll post my video soon. It will be an after the fact one now, not as much arrival enthusiasm, but I will show how I do the dings on mine. That much may help you guys out. A one dollar silver paint pen does the job. No sense outsourcing PL touchups guys. Really. The paint is PERFECT, grimey, greasy, all smoked up and darked in the right places, just needs dings.
I assure you. I love it! Best Hot Toys product yet.
Provided those back pistons ever pull loose. They do swivel around in place. I wonder if they are set on the correct side of the inside posts. I may have to operate....can't pull them out....don't want to break them....

Les I could probably break the leg for you.
I am trying to find humor in my current situation.

The odd parts...
NEED HELP HERE! The silver shafts won't come out any further...
About those pistons in the back, use some force to get them loose, but don't pull too hard eventually you'll get 'em loose. Grip the yellow part (between thumb and index finger) and the botton part of the piston (ring finger, pinky and palm) with the same hand and slowly force it out. Also Wor-Gar suggested taking a hair dryer to them in case there was some glue holding them inside. I can't believe I'm giving the 'Master' advice!
