Hot Toys / Sideshow ED-209
How does this piece look in person? I am about to buy a slightly damaged one, and I was hoping to get some opinions of how it looks in-hand. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Also, if anyone has a lead on where I could get one MIB, I would appreciate that as well!!

This thing looks great in person. It always gets a good reaction because of the size of it. I don't normally get hot toys (although they have some good stuff), but I got this because of how dynamic it is (and being a big RC/ed-209 fan).Sry for quality just took a couple quick pics with camera phone. You won't regret picking it up.

The rubberised covering on the head on mine has needed supergluing in a few spots, but other than that it's a nice piece.
Be careful when you move the ankles, they were quite tight on some peoples and could snap if forced.

Thanks for the great pictures guys. I did purchase him and was lucky enough to be very close to the seller, so I just picked it up. It is awesome, but as warned, the ankle joint is extremely stiff. I have not forced it to move for fear of breakage...and advice on what I could do??

Ok, just checked mine again. Turn your Ed upside down and you will see that at the bottom of his leg (not foot) there are 3 Philips head screws. 1 may not be visible as it is the furthest forward and may be obscured by the middle toe of the foot. If this is the case, support the leg and gently ease the foot so that it moves back (like Ed was on tip toe) and the screw will be revealed. Sometimes heat from a hairdrier will aid in getting some movement, but I didn't need it this time.
If you undo all these screws (using a good quality and correct size screwdriver) the foot can be detached from the leg.
The ankle joint on the foot is then exposed and you can then loosen the screws that support the ankle ball joint (not too loose mind, remember the ankle has to support the pose), this will allow the joint to move a bit more freely.
Then just refit the foot onto the base of the leg and secure with the 3 screws.
Just take your time, the ankle does have a large range of movement when correctly fitted.

I got the battle damaged version as I thought it looked less likely to shoot me.
