I got mine and it is a great figure. The midsection looks great, it doesn't look too white as others have said. Unfortunately the joints aren't very tight, I am not sure how long the arm with the sniper rifle will hold that position. Both hands on mine were not installed properly and kept falling down. I pushed really hard on the one holding the gun and I heard a click and now it doesn't fall. I'll also need glue for the back accessory which is not a huge deal but with crazy shipping cost and low canadian dollar value, it is quite expensive and I didn't expect to have to fix things myself.

(pics are not high quality because my tablet doesn't have a great camera and I am terrible at taking pics)

Box layout - I'm digging this trooper so far!

Thanks for the pic's and opinions guys. Looks like that back hook will have to be fixed, 2 problems so far, not a big deal but something to look out for when opening him up.
 
Thanks for posting the pics fellas, I'm now $190 poorer. Gotta have that rifle if I'm going to buy this, and this months coupon almost wiped out the ridiculous shipping. Coupon is summ3r15 if anyone cares.
 
As expected... figure is very lightweight. Joints are not loose but not tight either. He is NOT floppy though.

The armor is not clanking and clattering every time you pick it up. Its softer plastic then the old SS Stormtrooper.

The head on mine is also a bit loose -- it holds a pose fine but will shift when you pick it up.

The little gun looks as awkward in his hand as it did in the movie, so its fine.

The weather is uneven. Great on the boots and on spots on the head, but unevenly dispersed. Also, the white packs on the torso are not dirty enough.

That said above, the overall details are excellent and the work on the pants is incredible considering you don't even see them. They have thigh pads like jodphurs.

The faux rifle is actually very cool. Glad I got it.

You get a lot of stuff I haven't even unwrapped.



OVERALL: I think this figure is as good as it gets for Sideshow. He looks great standing on my table right now. I need to fiddle and futz with him and I'm sure most of the issues will disappear.

I also got my first HT Stormtrooper today so comparison will be interesting.
 
So the codpiece is cloth, huh? I always thought it was a small bit of armor there. Didn't realize it was basically a pair of tighty-whities over the pants.

With all the ewoks running around endor I would think more junk protection would be the way to go.
 
Looking forward to getting this in my collection, shame to hear about the lose body, but that sounds like a typical SS figure.
