Thanks, guys.
1/4 is definitely a fun scale to check out, at least for shelf presence if nothing more. While I'll admit the whole package strikes me more as a $300 or $350-worthy release (the lower-half of the body feels a little haphazard in terms of material), EB seems to have set the bar at $400 for this scale. Nothing we can do. From what I can tell, the extra money goes toward pushing the detail as far as it can go on the little things so if you're into that, go for it. To truly justify the price, I would've liked a fully-developed body, legs included. They knocked the torso and arms out of the park, but legs done in a similar fashion would've been nice. Though they seem structurally sturdy, the material itself doesn't sit well with me. I'm still more than happy with my figure and look forward to displaying him with future 1/4 pieces. EB's caught my attention and they're definitely on the right track, that's for sure.
@nightsurf: The gaps can be made smaller, but the only way you'll have a non-existent gap with the flesh-colored shoulder directly meeting the torso is by posing him with his arms more or less at his sides. If you want a dynamic pose, you'll have to live with the gaps or use the hard plastic 'endoskeleton' to fill them up. It's probably possible to minimize them, just not without compromising the pose. I could care less about the joints, myself.
MINE WILL BE HERE SOON!
