Well I know he's got a ton of guns to play with, but I really love that pose he strikes at the end of the lobby scene so I had to try that one first.

I knew that pose looked familiar. I didn't read your post at first.

Such a great figure, HTs really nailed this one. I usually do some sort of little mod here and there just to fix any little nitpicks I have with a fig but really can’t find any with this one. Well other than the missing 2nd set of pistols and the inaccurate shades but those will be upgraded once doggiedoc releases his. Bravo HTs! Now bring on Smith!

Wow, really great poses there. I also really like the 4th shot with the rifle, all geared up. Beautiful.

Thanks guys! Just a really fun fig to play with as it takes little to no futzing.

Love the pics Yodasodabo! I'm still trying to figure out a pose I want. I haven't even cracked him open yet
Just had a delivery notice on mine, looking forward to getting him set up although it'll probably be Saturday before I get a chance.
On a sad note, it just occurred to me this was the last figure I had on preorder, and will probably be my last 1/6 for a while until either ROTJ Vader or ESB Luke are announced... Looks like I'll be finishing on a high note though...

Well my Neo turned up today... Ye gods Hot Toys actually made an effort with this one didn't they? I wasn't expecting to like this figure nearly as much as I do.
Got to admit the stuff that impressed me was the real boots, and shoulder holsters rather than all of the guns, but the guns are excellently done too. I can't remember how long it's been (ever?) since HTs bothered to do real shoes rather than immovable plastic lumps.
(Which guns specifically should I be looking out for to pick up the missing extras?)
I checked out the quality of the figure a bit more thoroughly than I usually do before display, since the external parts of the box looked a little like this one had been a returns job (no sticker on the bottom flap, glue residue) but everything internally looked pristine/sealed - and nice to see they've finally learnt their lesson about staining in transit, for once there was plenty of thoroughly applied protective plastic wrap in places where black transferring would show up. I think he might be getting his own shelf in my detolf equivalent when I finish setting up the display.

I finally cracked mine open and put him in the somersault pose(after reviewing MISB Posing with Peter video on YouTube). Da**! This figure is Bad A**! I'm with you Vetinari, Neo got his own shelf in one of my Detolfs.
Got mine set up yesterday. Love the figure but have to say I absolutely hate the base, more specifically the way they designed the clamp with that extra plastic insert. The heat shrink around the post on mine was badly finished so even after trimming I had to take the clamp apart to get it on, and ended up cracking the back support part. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just had a clamp that was the correct size for the post and tightens directly onto it, like they did with the Mk46 flexible post - I have to assume the clamp is a re-use from another figure and adapted it for this one.
Anyway, the figure itself is great, I wish HT did more non-MCU and non-SW figs like this...

Both of those franchises are in the toilet, so i think your wish may be granted soon.

I definitely agree with you on the clamp. I brok the same piece off trying to open the clamp to place are Neo. It was definitely cheaply made.

Damn, they practically showed the full movie ! (well at least all the best bits....)
I never saw that trailer before I first saw the Matrix. Good thing too, it does show a lot.
I just remember seeing the bullet time bit on TV commercials and thinking 'ugh, another virtual reality movie John Woo style' (which was not a good thing)... and I was so happily wrong. BEST movie that summer. Best movie in a very long time at that point.

When I first saw that trailer, I thought "Are you kidding? Johnny Mnemonic was just a couple of years ago." I was really glad to find out they definitely were not kidding.
