How do you like the kit? Curious because I almost grabbed one myself when I ordered a few of the Bandai kits. I ended up going with Bobba Fett instead but may have to pick this one up eventually.

I found the fit quite good. The fully jointed aspect of the model is a double edged sword for me. I like the idea of being able to set the pose, but it will never have the "look" of a true figure model because of that trait. Fun part will be painting the kit. It is at that stage right now.

It is an interesting subject...and well done to this point.
