Hey thanks. Guess so that's what we get. Would have loved a X-Wing Luke or Rebel Hoth Trooper both Tauntauns, just to name a few. Think it's going show up at Comic Con

I wonder what the difference is going to be compared to the previous version?
I hope they fix the helmet, and get him a more natural pose.
Considering what they did with Chewy...just changed out the base....I'm not getting my hopes up too high on this one.
Hopefully things will be different, I however was not collecting at the previous release. Looking forward to seeing this one. Might pick one up 
I'm sold!

Trigger and trigger guard on the blaster look huge, lol. o-o :grin:

WTH is wrong with that scope? And that huge trigger guard! The knee gaps are distracting as hell.
Better pose than the original, I'm assuming this is still in the window for modification? I'd buy it but would prefer it was more accurate.
its been mentioned but yeah the trigger and trigger guard are way off. how does something like this happen?
also the knee area is sticking out and looks wrong.
Hopefully they fix this before the final piece.

That's the start price these days for PF statues (especially Star Wars one's)
Well yeah thats a problem too. lol

I have had to do some repairs to my statues and I have put piece on incorrectly, so I can imagine someone doing that.
That scope being backwards is the same mistake GG made a few years ago with their Imperial Gunner mini bust. I had to pull out the scope from the blaster and turn it the right way. It appears that's something people will have to do with the PF, if at all possible. Out of all three issues with the statue, turning the scope around seems to be the "fixable" one.
I stopped expecting perfection from Sideshow a long time ago. Just give me something that looks nice and close enough and I'll be happy. These things just sit on a shelf anyway. I'm just excited that they are making an updated Trooper.

Updated? I can only see a different trooper, not an updated one. The pose might be better, but that is all for now.
I can't get past the fact they allowed this piece to be shown with those egregious gaps in the armor. That NEEDS to be addressed. Those legs look awful.
Scope seems ok now, hope they fix the short armor as well:
They just announced it on Twitter. The leg gap is still there but makes me wonder if it's just his pose that makes it look short.
on the live show today they announced Exclusive will be a switch out Han portrait. Thigh armor still looks messed up but they did state its still in prototype stage. Up for preorder tomorrow

Gap in the armor between the breast plate and the exclusive Han portrait is even worse and more inaccurate than the large joint gaps. Not sure why it's so hard for Sideshow to reproduce something closer to what was shown on screen. I'm sure they know the sheep will eat it up regardless.
The pose is an improvement over the original, but now they drop the ball terribly with the huuuuge gaps in the armor. From what I’ve seen they never fix errors of this magnitude, so I wouldn’t hold my breath in this case. I almost feel like the Han portrait is a distraction to entice more buyers for this piece. It’s probably cheaper to add this EX than to reconfigure the armor. I’m hoping for the best, but not expecting it. If they fixed the gaps I might be in for the EX, but I would not be able to live with the gaps otherwise.

The statue's bicep armor is too short, the armor around the neck is too wide open (looks like a gym undershirt), the shoulder bells should have a bit more meat on laterals. The armor also looks odd on legs with a lot of gaps. I don't care about the EX, it would sit in a box anyway. But if they don't fix the armor, no way I'm buying this.
DynamicMenace made a photo comparison showing some things that could be improved:

Preorder up. $550 for a bunch of flaws is absurd. Fix them all & I'll seriously consider it.
Gotta agree - I pre-ordered, and didn't think twice!

I feel the same.
For me is very simple: no fix = no buy. The chest armor looks like a gym tank top for girls

I like the Han sculpt. But I cannot get past the ladies tank top armor on the statue and the lot of black showing on other parts. Take the armor from the old PF and add the new pose and you'd get a good Stormtrooper.
