Sideshow took the shipping payment for him today.

Their heads up email three days ago had what must be their standard policy: "We expect the piece to ship within the next 10 business days."

The eta on the order page never changed: EXPECTED TO SHIP: JUL 2022 - SEP 2022


Nanaue's excessive weight isn't going to be an issue any more. I moved the various Suicide Squad related figures from their Detolf shelves into a new area. No longer any fear of King Shark crashing through the glass into the party below.

(And more prime real estate for WWII figures. )

Sideshow's sending these from Hong Kong. The parcel was picked up there this morning, so it isn't one of those long waits for something to happen after final payment is taken.

I honestly despise video reviews. I know a lot of folks care about the stupid box, but jeez! Blah, blah, blah — filler filler filler. Need to make this boring *** video even longer. Yawn! Just get to the damn figure.

Damn he looks good. Bet he looks great on shelf

This will have been a very fast delivery. The original estimate was next Monday.

He was picked up in Hong Kong on Wednesday and already out for delivery today.

(Nanaue stopped over in Bahrain for less than an hour yesterday, so now he probably thinks he's a sand shark).

Knowing how big he was didn't prepare me for exactly how big this figure is in hand!

Real feel shark skin and good paintwork. The lighter highlights really make him 'pop'.

Changeable hands are a necessary evil since there's no matching lighter shade anywhere on them to allow for the illusion of a seamless transition from the arms.

Would've been better if they'd managed to have the feet as part of the sculpt as well, because being jointed doesn't add anything apart from misaligned sculpting if you turn them.

He's still very impressive though.

The other option...

Few more images I found on FB. He's a heavy figure!

While the whole package including the brown shipper felt heavy, I didn't think the figure felt as heavy as expected.

I weighed him myself and he was actually only 1.697 kgs, not 1.897 kgs.


I weighed him twice to make sure. First using a book so he could stand completely on the scales. Total weight minus the weight of the book was 1697 grams.

Then with his feet perched on the edges as in the photo above: 1697 grams.


Either their scales are faulty, or mine are. But it's very strange that the difference is exactly 200 grams.

I think this will pair up nicely with Peacemaker

 

[spindrift]

Looks great! The paint aps on the teeth are very realistic

 

[Mike86]

I want King Shark but I might wait and see if he winds up discounted.

 

[spindrift]

Same here...

I put a different head on Harley.

My King Shark came in yesterday. I was expecting this guy to be big, but I was still surprised at how just massive this figure looks. The skin texture is great. He's got shelf presence like no other.

So... he's big.

I love how he looks on the shelf. Great addition.
