I am not 100% behind how tall the missile rack is, but that can be fixed by a quick substitution.

It came on sprues, and had flash, etc, if that makes a difference.

Its the wideness of the arms and the missile rack that throws me off this one despite loving the design. maybe if the shoulders were cut down a bit to sit closer to the body and if the missile rack was mounted at a slight angle like in the art... :P

As of last Saturday it hadn't been made into a production mold yet. Got to hang with Gordon for a bit and see the masters for it.

Also are you sure it was flash and not just venting?

the art is actually pretty decieving because of the angle the thunderbolt was on, but the missile box WAS dead center in the TRO.

I agree. All the parts look about right, but some fine tuning in the shoulder joints would help out.
Overall, a pretty faithful rendering of really great art.

Si.  Wasn't much to the flash, though.  There were mold lines and some thicker spots from the sprue connections, but nothing I couldn't fix with my hobby knife. 
Anyway, it came my way the 30th, so I suppose that answers the question, but if the production version comes out like this one, I don't think we'll hear many complaints in the required-prep department.

When I get a second one to work with, I'm going to remove the shoulder joint sections on the torso to get the arms closer (and shift the legs in a smidge to ease any space issues), cut down the length of the "wings" a bit, remove some shoulder underneath where they slip on so they can go further inward, and remove most of that notch of metal on top of the missile launcher.

Looking good!  I'm eagerly awaiting this one, since I'll probably order at least 3 or 4 for my CJF second-line unit.

How many pieces is it?  Looks like torso/waist, arms, legs and missile launcher. 

Very eager to get some of these.

lets, see, use a Griffin's LRM launcher on the shoulder,  cut off one laser barrel, shave/cut off the shoulder wings and BANG, into my Misery Survivors Wolf's Dragoons it goes (hey, don't judge me!  I have been using Marauder IICs to represent those stupid, ugly and impossible to build unseen Marauders)
