Alright mine arrived, but it is either missing the white button-up shirt or SS removed it from production? 
Anyone else confirm?
That aside, SS was able to produce the life-like skin tones that we saw soooo long ago at Comic Con; I am very happy with the piece beyond the shirt question.

i'm pretty sure that's suppose to be a white scarf around his neck. fallschirmjagers had a thing for scarfs of all kind..you should call SS it's there on their production pics of the PF on their site.
how green is the smock?! some pics please??

I am away from my house/statue; but look at the product photos, he wears a white shirt under the outer smock.
*** EDIT *** ah, scarf!!! I will have to check the box, I probably missed it! Doh!
As far as the green, it looks typical "ranger green" to me.

Alright, now I am back in front of a real computer, let's try this -
First off, I don't collect much anymore but I HAVE been waiting eagerly for this PF since it was released; it absolutely blew me away at Comic Con when I first saw it. It was touted as the beginning of a new line of PFs that Sideshow would be producing, but we all now know that it isn't likely. I still held on to my order simply because the detail was just incredible and I really wanted to see if that could be maintained into production.
Honestly, I am quite pleased overall; let's just forget about my little "scarf" snafu!
Sideshow DID IT! They were able to produce a PF with a new skin technique, I don't know if any other PFs have benefited from this or not; but it is VERY life-like in person! It takes a lot to impress me these days, and this is about as "wax figure-esque" as I have seen Sideshow do, major kudos to them! I have one small gripe, and that would be that the linked ammunition is nothing more than plastic, it sure would have been a nice touch to have been made from metal; but it's a small nit --- and after all these YEARS, I am genuinely happy with the piece.
Here are a few shots, iPhone quality; all out of natural light for today. The smock is definitely what I would call ranger green, but the weathering is there, I think that most will be quite pleased with it. I didn't take any pictures with the EX head, as I think I will be displaying him with the helmet on.

great! thanks bro! so i take it you 'found the scarf? the hands and head are spectacular as you say. smock too green for my nitpicking historical tastes but hey it does look like a keeper for me. how much of it did you have to put together regarding the pieces (hands/head etc.)?

Yep, surprisingly it does.
Oh, and I really hope that two years from now SS can give us at least something from the Allies!
