1/6 Hot Toys - POTC5 - Jack Sparrow Figure (Artisan Edition + Regular) Collectible Figure

[Gipetto0812]

We all ordered the same time basically, right? I mean, this was one of those timed events. I haven't even received a "charging soon" notice.

Yea it was a queued event situation and sold out in under an hour I think.

I think @SwedishHeat and I are the only ones on the board who have gotten charged for this unless others just haven’t been vocal about their orders getting charged?

I will definitely line out my thoughts when he arrives. Pics probably won’t come fast as this is one I’m going to want to take my time with and try to get the futzing right.

There they go, copying InArt again. Making later batches better. Can’t they get their own ideas?

In all seriousness, this is the first time I didn’t buy direct from HK. Mostly because I wanted to experience this queue system on SS and I didn’t think or know if HK would get any artisan with the ‘usual’ markup.

With the delay of a charging notice I kind of wish I had just gone through TBA again.

First world problems of course. I’m just very excited to get this, as most of us are.

I got charged notice on the 4th but ended up putting on payment plan due to everything hitting. 12 invoices in 10 days is nuts!!! I've had to cancel some, luckily I only had shipping to pay with one man's hobby for my artisan, so sideshow one can wait.

Hate to break it to you guys but the perfect figure simply doesnt excist. Youre all chasing a ghost. Mainly becouse a character in a movie will come across differenntly in many scenes, let alone many movies. With different expressions, a tad different make up, maybe the hair site a bit different, he had less sleep so his eyes look more tired. Or had a sniff of coke and he's pumped with energy lightning also makes difference. Contrast of the video. Watching it on dvd,blueray or 4k. Clothing could viarate in many scenes. I can go on and on honestly. For this reason its impossible to recreate the perfect figure, perhaps from a specific scene yes. Anyway i think in the last year of collecting they've improved alot regards of realism and clothing and i am greatfully thankfull how close they can get these days.
