Any news on this one?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

Hmmph. I came in here thinking there was news. Turns out it's just you...



What is this like 5 months overdue?

I never did get my preorder in, so I was hoping some would become available once they started shipping.

 

[Batty]

So, this just arrived out of the blue.

 

[MwNN]

I wouldn't mind picking this one up.
Is it still available anywhere?

Did you order from KGHobby, Batty?

It sold out a long time ago. They only made 150. There's one available on eBay, but they're asking twice the original selling price.

Did you order from KGHobby, Batty?

Yep. I didn't know it was coming - no shipping/tracking email or anything. It was just on my porch this morning.

I'll try to take pics later.

 

[MwNN]

Okay, thanks Batty.
I'll see if there are some floating around.

Yeah, if anyone sees these up for sale somewhere at a reasonable price, please post it here.

I missed out on the pre-order, but I absolutely won't pay a ridiculous price for it.

And congrats, Batty. Can't wait to see pics and hear your impressions on the figure.

 

[karamazov80]

Glad they made good on it after all this time!

 

[Batty]

So... I'm actually pretty happy with this. I never had V1, so I can't really compare it to that. While neither sculpt is great, I actually like the bd sculpt. The rain effect is a nice touch. The clothes and accessories are all well done except for the shoes. I think they're made from licorice...I didn't taste them to see.

Obviously, for $110 you're not getting HT quality, but you're definitely getting your money's worth.

You ordered one, right?

 

[karamazov80]

I did. . .I said I was gonna cancel if they took too long, but I lied. Looks good in your pics, but the face seems a bit orange? And is the jacket made out of a raincoat-like material?

 

[Batty]

Hopefully you'll see yours soon.

No, it isn't orange...that's just from the effect I used. The last pic is how it looks naturally. I didn't filter that one.

The coat does have an almost raincoat feel to it. I like it. And the wire in the collar and hem are a nice touch too.

 

[karamazov80]

Mine showed up today. Nothing surprising. Decent figure for the price, but he could use with a head and shoe upgrade, at least. One thing I noticed is that the wrist pegs are way too big for the hands that are included. I guess you have to use a blow dryer or boil them, but even then it's gonna be tough. I was trying to make the hole bigger with a screw driver, but couldn't get the other pegs to fit. The holes in the hands seem about Hot Toys sized, but the pegs are bigger than Hot Toys ones, yet smaller than Sideshow Pro ones. . .and no extra wrist pegs are included. The wires in the top and bottom of the coat are pretty nifty.

 

[Batty]

Yeah, I want to look into getting a new head and shoes for it.

I used a pair of plyers to get the wrist pegs in.

I have an unpainted scott petersen deckard headsculpt if anyone wants it. PM me.

One Replicant he wouldn't want to run across.
