Marc answers door:

UPS man: How's it going? Can I get a signature?
Marc: What have you done to my ship?
UPS man: Huh? Your shippment? Nothing.
Marc: Having trouble with your droid?
UPS: My phone is fine, and I have a Blackberry, but I don't see why that matters.
Marc: This deal is getting worse all the time!
UPS: Hey man, the company pays for it, so I don't complain! Now can I get a signature so I can get the hell out of here?
Marc: I'm surprised they didn't ask you to do it.
UPS: Just sign this thing!
Marc: Here goes nothing.
UPS: Thank you, sir.
Marc: Someone must have told them all about my little maneuver at the battle of Taanab.
UPS: Go **** yourself, weirdo.
Marc: You look absolutely beautiful. You truly belong here with us among the clouds.

this is pure GOLD!!

Damn it Pix! Get us some images... preferably with flash, a lot of lens distortion and improperly futzed

I need to feel good about not getting this!

UPS just dropper him off.

First impressions right out of the box:

1) Neck is too long. No amount of pushing will get it any lower. Ergo I will likely be getting a new body for him.
2) The robe is a thinner material.
3) The light-up saber is nice but it's not quite as solid a beam as picstures would let on. Even in mine it makes it look better than it really is. As I suspected, it went right back in the box.
4) Futzing is essential to getting this to look good. The belt is pretty heavy and is difficult to get to sit right on his hips.
5) Everything else is fantastic. The hands are the most malleable I have seen SSC produce. Both head sculpts and paint apps are fantastic. Definitely a 4 out of 5 star figure. Easy.

Unfutz'd crappy pics.

 

[pixletwin]

Yup. I can confirm that the worst thing about this figure is the belt. I hate it. Neck looks fine once futz'd and robed though.

Robe is freaking nice material. Very supple, compared to the thick robes we were used to... Lightsaber is too thick.

Saber and belt are definitely more Hasbro than I would have liked.

God that Prometheus body is horrid!

Yes. Now I know what the deal with the "ratchet knees" is.

 

[Gipetto0812]

Thanks for the pics, pix

Is the box the same ol same ol?

 

[redeye]

Yeah, I'm already contemplating whether to get this or the Snowie EX cause of the code..

Looks like the Snowie EX is sold out.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Mine shipped today. Excited to receive!

 

[EVILFACE]

Will be here Tuesday!!

 

[CollectorGuy]

Got my maul today and my obi will be here tuesday
So far i will have 3 jedi and 1 sith. Sideshow needs to remake some sith guys i need some villans.
U guys know of any dio's for creating a duel of fates theme?

 

[galactiboy]

Will be here Tuesday!!

Same here

Bummer to hear the figures got some so-so aspects. On the plus side I actually have an Jedi belt I might b able to use instead. And maybe a TT slim neck might work better than the stock one.

Pix is it possible to shorten the head plug (like we could do with the HT Dutch) to get the head to sit lower?

 

[jedibear]

Thanks for the pics, Pix....

Arrives next Thursday in my neck of the woods...

Here's hoping the great roll Sideshow's been on with 1:6 scale continues with this one. Looking forward to some picd from those getting theirs sooner....
