It's finally here. 14 days from down under was a long wait but I can't wait to open him up and display.

Awesome!
I got mine from Sideshow last week, and sure enough mine had some paint chipping on the helmet. I contacted Sideshow and they replied within an couple of hours that I'll get a replacement helmet/head. That's the fastest response I've ever had from Sideshow CS.
Thanks to Kathryn! :duff
I'll have my replacement on Monday.
 
Finally got a chance to open him up. He is definitely thinner than I would have expected but on display he isn't as bad as I thought he might have been. In actuality it doesn't really bother me. I wish they had gone the variant route with these because a fleet of them would have looked really nice but I will definitely be picking up the Rogue One version to have the pair.

On this figure my joints are perfect - tight, solid, holds every pose but the Rogue One version i have has some loose play in the upper leg areas.
 
This guy is far more awesome than i initially expected. Every time I look at him in my Imperial display he always draws my attention. Which is strange as I never really liked the figure when he was up for sale.

Think I'm going to make a small display with him and X-Wing Luke facing off with a Bandai X-Wing and Tie Fighter model on both sides. A lot of work to complete, but plan is in place !

Love this pic from Rook. Classic Star Wars !!


 
I miss Rook's pics.

Models would be excellent accompaniments. The mini lightsabers from Master Replicas were cool too. It's the kind of detail that gives a display integrated layers. Full on clutter has it's charm, but a solid accent goes much further.
 
I just realize there was another version of SideShow TIE pilot RO with kind of leather suit and some adjustments :(, Im kinda like that one than this classic ANH version, but mine was already shipped :(
 
i still need to grab this guy. I finally picked up the rogue group luke snow speeder pilot . I actually like the snowspeeder pilot a lot glad I got him. maybe after Christmas might grab this guy or the AT-AT driver.
 
This guy never got a lot of love, but I think I'll nab one before Christmas.

Pheonix, your cool mod pics are no longer working a couple pages back.

Yeah, friggin' photobucket. Here's a a couple of recent shots and an oldie. Changes include fattening up bodies, Black2/Black3 helmet markings, clear amber finish on lenses, custom code cylinders, and adding 3rd hoses.
