Just arrived from BBTS 
Initial random thoughts:
It's a damn impressive figure that displays very well. The suit color is not too blue as previously feared. The body poses well and isn't too hard to get into a natural appearing pose. The base is huge and pretty hefty. Once posed and situated on the base, he makes for an awesome display with a ton of presence.
A couple quick tips for anyone else picking him up:
-Don't remove the protective plastic pieces on the gauntlets until you're done posing him. Makes it a lot easier to get him properly posed without worrying about breaking something.
-The chest armor pieces are adjustable, so try not to freak out and send yours back if the chest armor isn't perfectly centered. I was pretty bummed out since the center chest piece on mine was really crooked straight out of the box, but with some gentle futzing it was easily adjusted back into place.
Can't wait for the 1/4 Darth Vader and storm trooper to be released so Boba doesn't seem so alone/out of place in the collection. Does anyone know if HT is planning to release any other 1/4 scale SWOT figures?

You'll definitely be impressed with the size difference of 1/4. That alone adds A LOT to the figure's overall shelf presence. Just be prepared to run out of space, fast. In general, the detailing on 1/4 is also better than 1/6. But IMO, just because a figure is 1/4 scale doesn't always necessarily make it better than its 1/6 counterpart (ex: HT 1/6 Robocop > EB 1/4 Robocop). With the advances companies have made in figure production, the detailing and realism of 1/6 is pretty close and comparable to 1/4. Both scales are awesome IMO.
