Would be good to add some drool, maybe with a hot glue gun.
That is incredible DarthNutz! 
Congrats to all getting this.

That does look pretty close to 1/6 scale, looks fantastic.
The pose is fantastic.
Wish I had the space.
Incidentally, the whole materials debate is currently raging in the model car world as well.
AutoArt, a well know maker of fine scale cars recently moved to composite (plastic) from decades of metal.
No matter what anyone says, the plastic makes them feel like toys rather than models. The details are still there, but something about the weight being gone makes them feel cheaper. And those things run 250 or more each.

Thanks for all positive responses. If anyone has questions or request let me know. Here is an unboxing video of interested https://youtu.be/oegP2tfYMyA
Also the quality feels good to me it is thick and does not feel cheap to me. You can see I have a lot of figures, I also have the life size Salacious which is solid mold and extremely heavy. I would say i prefer this Rancor material over that for two reason the first is the weight and the second is the thin pieces like finger nails feel less delicate like they are more durable with this material.

Cool video, a little loud from time to time haha, great kids you have there and they actually get to be part of the fun of collecting, love it!
As the material is pretty much discussed, would you be able to determine the material that is used on the several parts?
Yeah we are far from youtubers just make videos for fun with kids.
That is one thing I wish was different that the metal parts like wrist guards or ear ring where actually metal. They are all the same material looks to be from one mold. The only other materials I remember are the interior bolts and the base material with serial number and image.

That is what I like, it is not a perfect unboxing but you can feel the fun / excitement!
Ok, but the main material was named pvc in a review video, and Sideshow states fiberglass / resin for this item.
What would you say this beast is made of mostly?
Thanks!

Thanks for posting the pics and video! Gives me a good idea of the size and how it will look next to the Jabba stuff. So excited as it appears I'll be getting this on Friday. He makes Jabba look small which fricking insane. I kinda wish he came with fancy art boxes but whatever, just packaging I guess. The statue itself looks so impressive that I haven't been this excited to receive a collectible in a long time(maybe ever), for me this thing is a childhood dream realized
PVC. It does not feel like resign, more like a thick PVC. Does not feel like any fiberglass I have ever felt.
Paint job is to notch as well.

There's two people already who have it and they say it's PVC (the same material Neca uses by the way). I believe them over Sideshow's customer support any time of the day.
If they go that way I think they should charge Neca prices accordingly. And remove the part on the website where it says specifically it's fiberglass.
