Exquisite news.
I’d given up hope on the rolling eyes and resigned myself to this being a less than optimal offering.
Looks like we’re back on track for a genuine Ultimate edition!
Good to hear Joost say Kit has reached out to offer support as well. A pair of gents who truly love to serve the hobby.
Multiple shout-outs to this forum from Joost so our suggestions are being heard and implemented when they make the most logical or creative sense, which is good to know.
Now I’m wondering if the battle damaged eyeballs will be significantly more bloodshot or glossy than the standard.
Pooling a layer of gloss on the eyelid to simulate the welling of tears is probably not achievable now but I still favour rolling eyes significantly over static, painted ones.
So the question is; is Joost going to go with just one universal set of eyes for all heads or provide the necessary distinction between the standard and bd?

Yeah, I’m curious if this means all three heads will have movable eyes, or if it’ll be one head with swappable mouths for each version.

It seemed to me like they were fairly keen on having different sculpts so that the expressions in the eye area would match the mouths. But that was when there wasn't going to be rolling eyes... so now, it's harder to guess.

That wasn’t fully clarified.
The exact quote is
“It looks like- 95% sure- we are going to include rolling eyeballs for a… (stutters, background interruptions occur)… in there.”
No mention of faceplates though so my assumption is there will be three headsculpts per dlx set, each with rolling eyes.
All heads would benefit from rolling eyes and if you’re doing one with SERS, you may as well do all- but I could also see them potentially only being included with the heads that get chosen for the standard editions.
I hope it’s all though. Since the majority of heads come with the Dx set, just charge whatever is necessary to make SERS a reality for all heads.

someone asked will the factory be able to recreate the Viola paintjob. Joost said "yeah, especially now that we can do the rolling eyes, you can get really really good eyeballs so that the eyes will look realistic. I think they can get very very close to Viola's paint job"
I'm stoked Joost found a way to include rolling eyes.

Excellent summary, just to make sure everybody’s on the same page, though, the whip is braided, but we aren’t sure that will be possible for production yet.

Will OSK, Spec Fiction, (and BBTS?) be carrying everything: The two standards, the two DX's, and the two-pack with diorama?
Also, will the whip be wired? If so, will it be possible to tie around Catwoman's waist and shoulders? If not, could we maybe get a second whip with no wire, so we can do that?

That's great for the movable eyes....
But does that mean we would still getting 3 heads per figure, each with movable eyes?
By the way those 2 heads are really great:
I can't imagine any of those two to be dropped..
And it seems the new neutral sculpt is going to be as good..
But i still have no use for the tongue out sculpt...
Those 3 sculpts would be perfect..
I wish we could vote too on this forum...is that something possible?

Great news so far. This is shaping up nicely. Happy to hear the moveable eyes are back on the menu possibly. I hope they work.

Loving everything on the update list. I’m glad the photo idea is happening for the base! I posted about that idea back when the diorama was shown. Should help make the backplate not look so empty and bland. Excited for this.

Moveable eyes is a game changer for me on this release. If the standard release came with a smiling/smirking head and moveable eyes I will be over the moon.

In the youtube stream, Joost said they are still going to do the voting for the 3 head sculpts out of the 4 they've shown, so based on that info it seems we are still getting 3 head sculpts for the Deluxe versions.

I don't have a facebook account and don't want one...
But a poll here would be a great idea...even if it doesn't count for the "official" vote..
So that's even greater news!

If they're going with rolling eyeballs, then will they be going with face plates instead of completely separate heads?
UK should be fine to order directly. Joost said HT/SS blocked the North America market.

Depends how much you enjoy just throwing money away.
If you’re happy to give an extra 20% to the taxman plus a £15 admin fee to the post office while your purchase is being held hostage, then you can order from JazzInc.
If you prefer paying one clearly defined price and receiving your figure hassle-free, go with Kit.
