The Poppies are gearing up as you'd expect, and the ballot nominations has been completed by the Judges! You can see a list of this year's industry judges here:

The ballot should be ready by mid-week, and the voting shall begin, including the People's Picks, which uses the same ballot as the Poppies. Stay tuned!

Great review, thanks! You highlighted some of the issues I also experienced, but it was a pretty fair review. I love the look of the chest rig so I got the specialist and have the specialist deluxe on preorder (RIP wallet)
Did you have any issues with the feet popping off easily (and then subsequently difficult to put back on?)

I had really wanted one of these, but I'm glad I remained patient. I would much rather invest that money into Jyn or K2SO. Excellent review, as always, Michael.

Nope, didn't have that issue - and with the armor pushing on them, I would have if my pegs had been loose at all.

I did end up having the holster loop fall apart after writing the review. Like I said, it's a pretty cheaply made holster for Hot Toys. Not that it shouldn't just be a loop - that's accurate I believe - but the quality of that loop needs to be better.

Thank you for the review!

One of my feet was off when it arrived todayhere at work. Waiting to go home and set it up.

Great review Michael, you highlighted a consideration I had when mentioned that there's little reason for people to buy this instead of the DX Specialist or the regular version.

Of course, they really need a HT Krennic to flank! Can't wait for that announcement ...
