Your coat looks pretty great to me.Had a spare body and a few other bits so decided to see if I could do anything to make the jacket look better. It’s far from perfect but I do think it looks a lot better. Might do a full on snow effect on it.View attachment 720656View attachment 720658
Mondo Said NADA will have a new muscular body...hopefully their will be an improvement there.

Yes I did some dry brushing, wrinkled the sleeves a bit and flattened the collar. I thought the jacket was a complete right off but it definitely looks better.
I'm in Toronto and it's the same status on my end. I was hoping I'd have it in hand by now.So - DHL are fully living up to their reputation.
I've now had NINETEEN email notifications from them over the last 5 days. It's zig-zagged across various continents, and having settled yesterday in BC Canada, I've since had SEVEN emails saying versions of "clearance delay" with/without a "Shipment on hold, please call DHL at ...........".
I ignored these at first, assuming (correctly as it turns out) this was system-generated spam per the bulk of the other emails I'd received, but finally gave in, and called the number provided. Turns out it was the U.S. number, and someone who could barely speak English mumbled something about me having to call the Canadian number (which was not provided).
So, I looked up and called the Canadian number, got someone else who could barely speak English, who asked for everything excepting my inside leg measurement, put me on hold for 5 minutes, and then said "It's waiting in customs, you can sign-up for further notifications, but no action from you is required". I patiently explained I was already signed-up for notifications since that was how I was asked to call them (duh!), and asked why I was asked to call since there was no action required on my part. I also politely explained why I hate having ANYTHING delivered by DHL, because we ALWAYS . . . 100% of the time . . . encounter issues.
I dunno - maybe they are lonely and just like getting people to phone them
DHL are total muppets.
The experience so far reminds me of the body art I had done last year.

Looking pretty good there.
I too am in the Toronto Canada area with the same issue. For the past two days its gone from "Processed for Clearance" to "Clearance Event" to "Shipment on Hold and back to "Clearance Event". I'd love to know what kind of "EVENT" this is where everyone at DHL is clutching their pearls over my parcel.So - DHL are fully living up to their reputation.

and will likely be my biggest collecting regret of this year, or possibly of the past several years. It just looks like a terrible third party figure that went bad at every stage of the various factory fabrications. Nothing fits right or looks correct - it's MacReady dressed in children's clothes. Reminds me of those Mad Max figures (I think they were from Premier Toys) where every part was incorrectly scaled and mish-mashed together into a vague facsimile of what the promo pics showed. Now I'm just hoping this figure looks a little better in-hand than what I'm expecting.
Wow nice work! I already ordered the DID jacket, but if I can get the stock one to look as good as yours, I might stick with it.Had a spare body and a few other bits so decided to see if I could do anything to make the jacket look better.
