Finally got some new pieces today, the head, pants (from the "Punisher Saves" fig) and some boots that I was planning on modifying heavily, which I probably won't have to do now that Uncle Sam is on board. :)
I'm very happy with the head, he looks great, and I'm quite happy with how he looks with my glasses on. I've already started work on a new pair of glasses though which are more accurate and fit better, but I'm taking my time with them to get them as accurate as possible.
I'm not 100% content with the pants, they are a bit too baggy for my taste (they looked like they would fit slimmer in pics), but it's not that big a deal. Maybe I'll get a new pair when somebody here can recommend some that are perfect.
Here are some pics of my current setup, shirt and pistols are still on their way to me.

Looking great man. Nice photos. Love the glasses, I thought I was good with the medicom reloaded glasses but I only have one pair, hint hint!

I can't recommend the sarah connor pants enough.

Thanks. :duff
I've already looked for the Sarah Connor pants, but haven't found them anywhere unfortunately.
About the glasses, I don't think I'll be able to make these on commission, as each one is hand made and it takes a lot of time to get them just right, so I couldn't offer a good price on them. I've already stated that I'll probably sell/give away any glasses I don't need anymore (like the "prototypes") though. galactiboy currently has first dibs on a pair, if you want I can keep you in mind too. :)

I can also encourage everybody to make their own glasses, all I'm using is a plastic cup and some wire from twisty-ties. My "tools" are scissors and some sand paper for the lenses, and some pliers to bend the wire. Oh and a black marker to color the lenses. Will probably paint the wire with some black paint at the end.
 
Very impressive man, the glasses look great!:rock

At the moment I'm very torn between bashing a Lobby Neo and going for Daniel's Reloaded version as I'm not sure I want to display both :slap

I was the same way Marf, but in the end there were just too many factors leaning towards the lobby Neo's favor. Better movie, most memorable scene. Good coat, shirt, and pants all available for cheap. Choice of headsculpts coming out. Guns all easily available. Pretty straightforward repelling harness either 1) pretty close to movie options on ebay OR 2) make your own screen accurate pretty easily. I'm going with the latter on that one.

Really the only big obstacles are the boots and the shoulder holster. The boots are now being made. One obstacle to go.

To go along with these points, I also didn't see the value in Daniel's version. I just don't see where the parts he's offering with the full figure add up to $600.
 
This is what i have so far for the harness.
THis is just the harness still working on the leather holsters and torso harness.
In the movie the leg harness is in nylon, like the security belt in the plane, the shoulder harness are in leather.
