Blah, I went back and forth on this one after seeing everyone's pictures.... The quality of the fabric does look better then most of SS other mix media and the likeness does look improved over the prototype... so I bit the bullet and bought the EX.

I have to give credit where it's due, SS did an excellent job on this statue. Looks even better in person.... The quality of the mix media is excellent and higher quality then past mix media statues I have gotten from SS.

The likeness is very good, looks like the actress, the skin paint is a little bland but it's not bad... My only complaint would be the fingers are kind of jacked up and lack any detail but their small and you don't really notice them unless you look really close...

Overall I'd give the statue a 8/10

And this is from a guy who's not big on mix media

Just cracked the EX open. She looks really great! For some reason I was surprised by how good she looked. I agree with the other comments about the soft goods being better on this one. Glad I picked it up for sure!

Received #239 and have her set up and wow, I'm impressed. Great piece! The mixed media is extremely impressive, has to be one of SS best efforts. Both portraits are great, the regular is beautifully done and the one I like most but the EX portrait ties the entire piece together perfectly. The hat and goggles look really great with the coat and pants. The details in the breathing mask, tube and pouch it connects to is great. Paint on the portraits and base looks great, no issues there, however... the antenna on the left side is clearly bent or attached wrong. Contacted SS about getting that piece replaced, we'll see what they have to say. I've attached pics of it below.

Overall, love this piece! If you're a Star Wars fan definitely think about it and if you're a Rogue One fan it's a must buy!

Here's some pics-

Use a hairdyer to fix the antenna. But I would leave it as is since stuff in the Star Wars universe is supposed to look used.

The PVC portraits look nice but can use some skin texture like Hot Toys.

It’s metal, not plastic. I thought about bending it back but it feels like it’ll just snap off. Should hear from SS Monday.
