Well I spent (a great deal of) time putting him together tonight, so below are some pics. The tabs do suck, but the shoulder pads also get held in place by little hooks which helps. The head is not attached very well to the neck adapter, so it is very loose. The straps on the hands don't stay connected very well via the cheap velcro used. The other biggest single issue out of the box with this figure though (after the armor peg issue) is the wrist pegs. They are too loose for the arms, so they fall out very easy. One looks like it had some glue put on it to help keep it in place, but that doesn't help much. Body seems OK in terms of holding poses, but the wrist pegs are horrible.
Having said all that, amazing looking figure when all is said and done. Definitely worth the price, despite the issues. I think the head looks quite good like I said before, and I don't see any need to go with the Iminime one now.

This Looks GOODD!
Thanks for the info and pics karamazov, I don't know why but I am having second thoughts, you pictures make it look awesome, but the armor and body issues are stuck in my mind.
Just cancelled mine at BBTS who ever still wants one for $200 it doesn't say sold out now so go try and grab it!

That was a crazy move.
This figure looks incredible. Many figures that are mass produced need a few tweaks here and there.
Sam - Thanks for posting the great pics. This is a beautiful figure and I can't wait to have it. Thanks also for your information on the piece.

Karamazov, have you tried transporting the armor and headsculpt to a HT body? Would it fit, you think?

Damn that looks fantastic! Can wait for this figure.
I can't believe the one on eBay now is going to sell for $500.
$500.00???
Well the flipping has begun - $600.00

I have not. I'm reasonably sure the armor etc. would fit on another body. The wrist and ankle pegs look like Hot Toys ones, so the hands and shoes could be compatible. One other thing I think folks are going to want to mod are these little maroon strips of fabric. They are pretty cheap.
Price will come down once these start getting into collectors' hands. There are always an impatient few who just can't help themselves and get into early, irrational bidding wars.

Looking good and i'm not worried about replacing the body if need be as it looks identical to a hot toys 1 anyway:

Hopefully, wouldn't mind picking up a second one at a decent price.
Great pics by the way.
Thanks for posting.That's right. It seems we just need larger wrist joints to fit the arm better. Shame this was shortcut by ACI, but an overall easy fix.Body should be good to go after that.

So would tape around the wrist peg remedy this?

Yeah you can do that.
