I got mine in the mail today. Very nice figure. The way it is going with you guy's, I think I will keep it sealed in the box. [IMG]images/icons/grin.gif[/IMG] [IMG]images/icons/tongue.gif[/IMG]

I got mine today too and will be assembling it today and tomorrow! Come on, it can't be that hard??? [IMG]images/icons/grin.gif[/IMG]

I started assembling now and the codpiece was put on in 10 minutes [IMG]images/icons/grin.gif[/IMG] . Do you guys ever read the instructions [IMG]images/icons/confused.gif[/IMG] ? There are some on the net in English (translated) [IMG]images/icons/smile.gif[/IMG]

You have to heat the parts with a hair dryer! [IMG]images/icons/tongue.gif[/IMG]
I have to eat now, but My Fett will be finished today, that's for sure [IMG]images/icons/grin.gif[/IMG]

OK, I have finished assembly of the Marmit Boba Fett Kit!

I did it during the pauzes of the preparations of our NewYear Party [IMG]images/icons/smile.gif[/IMG] . No better way to end the year I think! [IMG]images/icons/grin.gif[/IMG]

I have to agree though that the kit is not easy to put together...

My small review of assembly:

-Jumpsuit and codpiece: piece of cake, heat it well with a hair dryer before putting it on, and it will fit nicely and easy.

- Chest armor: another piece of cake. This is probably the easiest part of the whole assembly!

- Arm armor/weaponry : Clever thinking can help you a lot here. Use a little (elastic)tow to hold the cloth of the jumpsuit into place. That will prevent the cloth from moving while putting the armor on.

- Hands/gloves : They don't fit very well! You have to try over & over again before they stay on (if you don't touch them too much). I might recommend to glue them fixed, however I've done not so myself.

- Knee armor: peace of cake, fits nicely

- Jet Pack: lamest part of the kit. I like HASBRO's Ultimate Jango Fett's jetpack far better! The mold is cheap and it comes off very easily. I think I'll have to glue it fixed to the chest armor or something...

- Helmet: although this is not difficult to do, Marmit could have thought of a better concept for this. I mean, who wants to use foam in the helmet?? [IMG]images/icons/confused.gif[/IMG]

- Boots: Thanks to the articulation of the feet and toes, this is very easy to do... for one boot [IMG]images/icons/shocked.gif[/IMG] The other one was a nightmare to put on. Took me half an hour. Heating with a hairdryer helps only marginally, because the plastic is so soft then that you will actually deform the boot while pressing the foot in!

- Details, weapons, wookie hair, etc... : very easy to do ofcourse as all are loose in the pockets of the jumpsuit, etc. I must say that the details are very well done! It gives the figure a great finishing touch.

Overall points for the kit-assembly : 7/10 (most things could have been much easier to assemble if Marmit would have used some clever thinking!)

Overall points for the finished figure: 9/10
Although my review has a negative undertone, this is by far the best looking 12" Figure you can get. Loads of detail, fine quality jumpsuit, nice paintjob (the helmet is a bit too dark I think).

If you can afford one, don't hesitate. The final looks of the figure have pushed me to want all other Marmit kits!

WARNING! This figure is meant as a kit, not a toy. Please remind this when you buy it [IMG]images/icons/smile.gif[/IMG]

Guys, if you are having a hard time putting the glove into the ball joint, don't do it. Here what i did, I stuck the glove piece into the gaunlet piece and now the glove won't fall out. [IMG]images/icons/smile.gif[/IMG]
