Scott Kaufmann said they didn't put the head on all the way...maybe it wouldn't look sooo bad if the helmet was lowered down a bit....

Well that's an ignorant statement if I ever heard one. Sideshow is not efx. I know gino and he is VERY anal. It's being handled differently then this was.
Speculating doesn't do anything but get people rialed up about nothing.
Maybe I was a tad off base, but given the people that worked on this project at the start and seeing how it is more than likely to turn out, we would be remiss to think that the same thing couldn't happen to the ESB hero.
Either way, I'm probably just goig to get a LM instead because I'm sure the efx run will get snagged up before many of us get a shot at one.

What is this LM that you speak of?
I know its a different animal but did you see the EFX vader? It looks amazing. I think EFX will do just fine. The MR helmet wasnt bad. The paint scheme was a combination of 2 different ones but overall it was a nice helmet. I wouldnt speculate about that until we see something.
As for this sideshow lifesize..i think they missed the mark on it...BUT if they were to fix the arms and lower the helmet, i think it may be ok..and by ok..i just mean...ok. lol
here's a 'shop of the helmet lowered...

That looks better with the helmet lowered. But still, that's a lot of money for something that misses the mark on so many areas. The range finder is just a chunk of black plastic and the visor looks like a thin sheet of acetate. Not to mention the wrong chest logo, which is just inexcusable. I actually think the paint job looks pretty good for a production piece though. The colors look ok.
And what is up with that big burn mark on the thigh? That's the kind of stuff that would bug me.

Thebobafettfanclub is to blame for that logo. And keeping it alive...and calling it the boba fett chest emblem...

Sideshow also used that logo for their life size bust.
I was really hoping this thing would turn out great. Now I just feel bad for everyone that pre-ordered.

Has Lee posted that anywhere yet? Im curious to see it. I remember him mentioning it a year or so back.

I found a youtube video that shows a lot of detail. I don't want to keep harping on this thing, but look at that chest light sequence. And the ROTJ skull on the shoulder. It would have cost no additional money on Sideshow's part to get these kind of things right. All they had to do was follow the prototype.
