Wild, huh?
Hey, I'm a photographer, I don't have to be good with words
I don't know how to say it, I just find sometimes classy can also be somewhat boring, but your displays mix classy with something that makes them more interesting and exciting to see, but without losing the class.

I would have never got that from "wild".
Thank you, sir. 
Damn man it sucks a lot that there are paint rubs on some Lando's head. It makes me happy with mine despite the loose joints 
Oh Sideshow...

Yeah mine had the paint marks on the left side of the head too - minor but annoying. My bigger issue is getting him to stand on those pimp daddy cowboy boots minus the stand...

Don't know if mine had the rubs on his hair, but there was a scratch on his cheek. I'm gonna drop him off with UPS today... meant to do it earlier, but kept forgetting to take him to work with me.
While I'm happy to see some improvements with the new body and all... I still wish Sideshow would return to fully sculpted necks. I really don't care for the current look, and while you loose articulation I think its a trade-off I'm willing to accept.

I agree with you Gboy. I prefer the old style neck.. especially on characters where the neck is highly visible.
Anybody will replace the Pro with an AA TT?
It needs to be handled with balance. Someone like Han or ESB/ROTJ Luke or Darth Maul, the jointed neck can had some great posability, someone like Lando or Piett or Tarkin where posability might be fun but not necessary to represent the character as they behaved on screen, then I feel sculpted necks for the sake of appearances would be more ideal. Especially older characters where defining features of the face include the transition into the neck. Look at Old Ben as example, he's even got sculpt work running from his neck into his chin that helps sell his age. Tarkin could use that, ROTJ Emperor definitely could use that, the Emperor with a jointed neck would be a weak looking figure.
Unless the joints were loose, I don't think there's anything really to gain, the AA TT is a slim one, so the build and height would be pretty similar. I had one on order until I could see how Lando's Pro turned out, but the joints are fine so I cancelled.
For me it's not the joints but the build the Pro has... looks weird IMO,
Specially the shoulders and the torso...
I might try both on a regular AA TT and the Slim AA, and see which one looks better I guess...
Regular AA TT could look good, but I'm not aware of them putting out anything new but the slim in that skintone, might cost a bit to get a regular one if you don't already have it, if you find a cheap source for AA TT's besides the slim though, do share, I might consider throwing Mace Windu on one.

The other choice is to add more sculpted details to the standard neck. Rather than just leaving it smooth and doll like, add some texture and make it look like a real neck. Won't completely fix the issue, but make it a less noticeable one on figures with this style of articulation.
Yeah, that's one thing that takes HT figures down a peg when they're made this way, you get these nice portraits but the sharp contrast from head to neck really kills the effect. If they could even just get the plastic to look more matte in finish that'd help. I haven't looked at it in awhile, but I believe the armor body may be more matte overall, not the neck, but the body itself.

just got a Lando figure. i'm impressed. he looks great. had a small paint rub on his head, but i touched it up myself. here's a couple out of box pics. i'll have to futz him later.
I sure wish I didn't have to cancel this fig. The pics are great, but they're killing me. 
Nice pics, Craw. Dang, I wish the eyes on mine looked like that instead of all googly.
