First off, EKLIPS STUDIOS, great work with the shirt and padding, that's the best I've seen it yet. You're not alone on the fat suit, Michael Crawford looked at it favourably in his review and personally, though I don't have the figure in hand yet, I haven't seen it as a negative.
Secondly, Fiend, those really are the best shots I've seen. They really show off the finer details of the sculpt and it looks great.
Somehow, the wait has gotten a little tougher to handle.

Thanks bud.
The fat suit isnt sewn to his shirt. Underneath his blue and white shirt is a vest with silicone padding. And yes, the padding is sewn into the vest(Not the shirt).
And there is nothing stopping you from removing the shirt or the vest.
Another alternative to the electrical tape is 5mm Elastic Cord Stretchy Ribbon Trim. Or maybe just a 5mm strip of non stretch fabric would be better suited? It would need to be hand sewn onto his vest though, and I know some people are fussy about doing 'permanent' mods on their figures.
Nice pics, TheFiend. Still think this figure looks better in hand though. But they are definitely the best pics Ive seen so far.

BadMuthaDude Thank you. It was that review that gave the idea for crotch strap and moving the belt up a bit more. I must have forgot he favored it.
The figure is amazing. Worth the wait and better than I thought would be.

My fat suit was sewn to the shirt. I had to cut and pull the stitching out to remove it.

Thats strange. Are you sure it was the shirt, not the under vest?

Yeah all mine was sewn together. I figured as soon as I removed the white shirt i could just pull it out but that was not the case. Im going to try your roll over technique to see if I can put the fat suit back on mine

Can you take a picture of the under vest you are referring to?

The padding is sewn to the t-shirt. In the UK that's a "vest."

Dave,
I think you're right. I thought they only considered tank tops "vests" obviously t-shirts as well

Got mine delivered today and have just had a brief unpacking and quick look.
Glases are fine in hand, though I haven't test-fit them yet. I like the magnified distortion the lenses have - that's by design.
Clothing is very nice and needs to be tuned up for posing, including tightening the belt. A full undress and re-dress as described above will likely be in order for my figure.
Head sculpt is great apart from the light seam over the scalp. Because it's often what anyone cares about: Paint is not the "same" as Hot Toys but is just as good. Hot Toys eyes are "better" than most however because they use decals.
The hands are decent sculpt-wise but the paint is extremely flat and doesn't match the face nearly as well as it could have. I've always been a tiny bit disappointed there are only 4 hands as I'd have liked at least another two, maybe one relaxed and one with some other gesture.
The shoes are the biggest problem area and as mentioned are comically large, not only in length but also in height. IMO, it would be nice if they re-did the shoes, but I wouldn't expect it. Maybe if enough people put in a complaint.
Not critical and may never be noticed, but it would have been nice to have socks or sock cuffs on this guy, especially since they went to the trouble of undershirt padding.

UK Tank top = T-shirt without arms = US wife beater?
UK Vest = generic term for sleeveless shirt/cardigan/waistcoat and also a tank top.
UK Undershirt = Is like a thin T-shirt or a tank top. It can be either, but just tends to be a high-quality, thin T-Shirt.
UK T-shirt is just like a US T-shirt.
Although a lot of Americanisms have also slipped in to the UK and confuses it further, but that's it in a nutshell.
To me, he's wearing a white undershirt/T-shirt, although I've not looked closely.
I've ordered Kit's glasses for mine.
Agree with Pixel on his impressions. GIANT feet.

Had mine for 2 weeks, haven't opened it. It's this years "Robocop" - where it stays in the box until Christmas Day.
Hopefully BBTS gets their stock soon....

BBTS gets their stock from Sideshow, so when SS gets their shipment BBTS will have to wait to get theirs. My guy gets his from SS as well so Im waiting on them.
Oh yeah, that's right. Either way, I would assume we have to be close.
