Wait, you're in NY. You got about 40 minutes to open your gift. See what you think of the black material.

The only concern I have is the actual suit holding up over time, I don't pose my figures in extreme poses or even repose them much, but the fact that this is a fake leather material makes me weary. Some of Hot toy fake leather holds up great, I think of the MMS117 T-800, a figure that's been out for about 7 years or so and no issues, but recently my MMS95 John Connor Jacket started to fall apart, I have had that figure out on display for nearly 7 years as well and last month the patch fell off, the rest cracked apart in the removal process of the jacket.
I found a replacement thankfully but while removing the original jacket it completely fell apart.
Not displayed in direct sunlight or posed often, always displayed in a glass case
Now I haven't opened my Deadpool yet, I'm only a few hours away as its my Christmas present But I'm hoping it isn't anything like Connors leather
So I don't know if many are still looking for this figure my local comic shop has occasional Hot Toys and Sideshow figures and they have the HT Deadpool asking $239 which I think is a fair price seeing how much even BBTS is charging for a single figure. Been there a few days and honestly I'm shocked it's still in the store with the holidays and I guess there isn't many 12in collectors in my area. Mostly saturated by all the people who buy TF's, Marvel, MTMU, star wars, etc etc.
Great job on the vid, Brooklyn (ay yo Brooklyn born! SI raised, living in Western Canada). Always love stop-motion and it's tedious work, for sure. Gotta be in a very patient mood to do that stuff.
ShaneX, I have that figure with that gun, just need my DP to get here.
Hope you all are having a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year!!!

Congratulations The Skull.
So glad your opening went off without a hitch.
Any things you want to point out about the figure?
Thank, the red secion of the suit should be fine, the black area is the one I would worry about if anything were to go wrong I think it would be that, don't expect issues but will keep my eye out on it. The figure rocks, I barely had time to unbox it and now the extended family showed up in the middle of my boxing video, so I will finish that up and get a better feel for the figure tonight, one thing is on mine the sleeves are not fully tucked in perfectly, some wrinkles but no damage...
Big congrats skull! Looks sweet.

Good to hear things are not that bad with the fig. My sleeves were a little out as well but they were easy enough to put back into place.
I was able to get a second Deadpool from my distributor but I have to pick it up in January with the funds I get for Christmas from my family.
That one after inspected will stay pristine until I run into Ryan Reynolds so he can sign it. Hopefully.
