You gotta heat them up?! I know Dragon is all about providing a solid kitting up experience for collectors, but I wouldn't have been upset had they put the boots on the figure

I didn't have any problem getting them on with a little force. I actually thought that was the easy part. Getting those stupid latches to attach to the backpack however was another story...took me over an hour.
I finally got around to putting him together and took a few pics. I own quite a few SSC and HT figures, and this ranks right up there with them.
My only nits are that his eyes aren't quite that detailed; the sculpt is a little soft. And I'm not sure why they did the backpack like they did. The fabric doesn't completely cover it and that pool noodle thing just sort of sticks out. I also couldn't get it to sit right. It looks like it's going to fall off. Maybe one off you guys how has it can give me some pointers. I wish it had came with instructions.
But overall an excellent figure worth the price.

Cool pics Batty!
Just got mine today, only had time for a quick look but I'm liking what I see.

Nice pics Batty! 
You have the chest box on wrong. In that last pic I can see you have the upper straps going under his arms. They should be going over his arms. They should be crossing his chest. Take off the box on the front. Flip it around and make sure the straps are forming an "X" not an "=". Then rest in on his chest that way. Bottom part of the "X" goes under his arms. Top part of the "X" goes over his arms.
Hope that helps.
Also, is your under helmet on tight? Mine can be turned easily and simply lifted off. It never clicked into place or anything on mine.

I thought that's what the problem was, but in all your photos it looks like they went under the arms. Oh, well...
And no, nothing I did could get the under helmet to click in place. There's a little slot on the back but I couldn't get it to stay.

Thanks!
I think you can see what I mean about the eyes though. They're a bit flat and lifeless.
Thank you, sir!
The eyes are just a minor nit. This figure is amazing.
I was also wondering which direction he wore the watch. Was it over or under his wrist? I couldn't find any clear pics.

After all those pictures... I had to order one. Not sure if I'll leave the golden visor down or up. Guess it depends the headsculpt of Buzz underneath. But man... bummed it doesn't come with a base. How am I supposed to even stand him up no a shelf? Is he pretty stable? Would a Hot Toys stand work for him?
No stand is needed. With those huge boots he stands pretty well on his own.

Awesome. Lastly... how are the instructions? Is it easy to figure out how to connect the hoses?

lol! Any chance of a video or additional pictures clearly illustrating how? I'm clueless now, and I'm worried I'll be clueless when he shows up! I tried reading the post from the last page, but it's confusing me!
I actually thought the eyes looked pretty good:
My only complaint would be that they are maybe too light of a blue.
Yeah, looking back on those pics I can see that you can't really see the straps. One of them is barely visible in this pic (upper left - his right):
Yeah, I could get the back half of the helmet to fit into that slot, but once they are together in one piece it will not click into place. Glad it's not just mine.
I haven't put mine on yet, but here's the reference I'm gonna use:
Not even sure if that's Neil though...
The backpack hoses are pretty straight forward. There are three hoses on the left-hand side of the backpack and three inserts on his left-hand torso. There are two hoses on the right-hand side of the backpack, and two inserts on his right-hand torso. So there is really only one way they can hook up.
Yeah it's the backpack which really threw me, until I realized that the chest box is what holds it in place.
Disregard my earlier post about it with all the "=" and "X" stuff, I wasn't looking at the figure when I gave those instructions. Here's pic of how the straps criss-cross:
And they attach to the backpack like so:
The only question I still have is what is the purpose of this thing that comes out of the left-hand side of the box:
Is mine the only one that has the frayed string coming out of the end like that?
I did check and this weird hose on the box (what I think Batty was referring to as the "pool noodle") is long enough to wrap all the way around his torso and kind of tuck into the box wrapping on the other side, so I might just do that...

There are no instructions. That's why I had a problem attaching the backpack.
