The whole experience with Sideshow has become extremely frustrating, and has somewhat soured my experience a bit, because it really is an astonishing figure. I really hope you enjoy him.

Some things to note, do take care when messing with the leg holster, as it is not made of die-cast metal like the majority of the figure, and pay careful attention to the articulated fingers, as the individual joints pop out of the sockets fairly easily, and can be easily lost due to their small size. These weren't the defects I encountered, but I thought I would relay this advice.

The defect I encountered was a small broken peg that juts out of Robocop's armor on his back. It is not a part of the mold, and is a glued piece that somehow managed to break off during the shipping to me. It's another thing to look out for. Hopefully you will not have to endure any of these frustrations and will be able to enjoy this masterpiece.

Thanks for the heads up. The place triple boxes all their items when shipped in the U.S., so I hope it arrives intact. This is my first 1/6 scale figure purchase, so I plan to be super careful with it.
