anyone else paid but not had the status updated on the iminime page or had it confirmed by email yet?
VEST
Looking at this pic, and comparing it to the most famous screenshot, are we able to bring the vest in closer together, so that there isn't such a big gap between each side?
GUN BELT
From the pic above, the belt buckle looks to be gold and bigger than what is in the prototype pic. What are your thoughts on that? The regular belt looks to be wider as well in the screenshot.
Congratulations to Denny and his team, and to Dane and Ankit, this is a fantastic release! I was fortunate to grab a regular version.
I have a few questions/comments:

PANTS
How does the fly close? I hope it's not bulky. I would prefer that the opening be on the back so that the pants don't stick out too much in the front. At that scale, it's very hard to have a pants close properly and not add bulk.
PONCHO
I am assuming with the weathering that the front and back won't look different? How stiff is the poncho? Will it fall nicely? Does it have a wire in it? While the wire sometimes works very well, generally I am not a big fan of it since it makes it hard to have natural poses.
Thanks, Neehar.
Vest- I have actually brought this up to Denny. I think that some careful futzing could help the gap some (pull it higher on the shoulders), but that detail is definitely under consideration.
Gun Belt Buckle - The GBU buckle was brass, but it's another production limitation issue. I will talk to Denny to see if anything can be done to replace the buckle, but it may need to be an aftermarket swap.
Pants - It's a front velcro closure, which I think is the best method to avoid bulk. You can always do what I did for my Neo and remove it completely, since there is a belt.
Poncho - I haven't seen any weathering pics yet, but rest assured I will point out anything that looks odd. The stiffness of the material is difficult to judge from pictures, but it looks to fall nicely with some decent futzing. There is no wire.
because of your utmost dedication we will ensure you get a DX...
which means even if you dont want to later... we will force you at gun point
Excuse me, Mr.MarfMaster, sir, but can you confirm your friend Ankit's statement here?
Hmmm, that one got by me...you'll have to take it up with him.
I will say, I have put in a plea to Denny to help out a few members (if possible) who I felt were vocal supporters of the set from day 1, took extra measures to ensure securing a DX set, and still missed out.
Denny's in China for the week, so I think we'll see/hear more once he's back from his business trip.
