The releases all follow the same basic pattern. It gets released in Hot toys home market first. At the same time the stock gets shipped to sideshow (if they have produced enough finished product at that time) on a ship. It can take a few weeks to make the trip. Then you have the dock and customs and then SSC has to process. If the intial product run didn't have a full amount then it adds to the time.
So It gets released in Asia, at the same time it starts its trip to other markets. If you buy it from an Asian story it will ship when they get their stock. Though technically it's not supposed to be able to do that due to licensing and distrubution agreements. But those are not enforced unless someone makes an issue of it. But if other regions are notice they are loosing sales, and come to the conclusion it's the cause it may be stopped. Not the person to person stuff or most ebay sales. But the retailers that have official distrubution deals.
I love it when headsculpts arent looking straight ahead. I feel its a lot more limiting actually...having the eyes looking around makes me get more creative with the poses.
Yeah. I hate it when they bring out a sculpt that *only* looks one way, but they already brought out TWS one, and if they bring out another one looking to the right, i will be all set, so i can have a choice of which way to have his eyes pointing! Since we will never get Cap with PERS, that will be the best i can hope for.

Yeah I'm very glad they went for that. It really makes it unique. Especially for those of us who have the TWS Civvie Steve.

Cap isn't even close to my favorite Avenger and I want this figure badly. The offset eyes are great; they add a lot of character to a figure and make it look much more human. Sure it can be harder to pose, but the believability increases dramatically. Shoot, I've gotta save up to get this guy.
Does it really make it that much harder to pose? I'm debating on buying a WS head off of ebay.

You should have been checking Monkey Depot last night. They parted more Steve/Strike packs.
Too late, suckas!
Don't get me wrong it works great for your typical movie poster type pose. Off to the side looking heroic. It just ends up looking weird if you got the figure facing head on.
I didn't notice that until your post. That's no big problem for me, as I would keep him with the Cap head sculpt.
