Hot Toys DX09 - BATMAN - Batman (Michael Keaton) - Specs & Pics

Sorry to read about your troubles with the shipment.

On another note, I just found out the best way to bring both his arms up in bat pose to the maximum without fear of ripping the rubber under his armpits. First, remove the head, cape, hands and gauntlets. Then start bringing the arms to their sideways-outstretched position while pushing in the rubber covering the arms into the armpit area, thereby eliminating any stretching outwards (you'll bunch up the rubber towards his shoulders though, but that will be covered by the cape anyway). Notice on the pics that the rubber under his arms aren't stretched out, but tucked towards the armpits, while you'll also notice that the biceps look a lot bigger than usual, that's because the rubber is bunching up towards the shoulders. Better that than finding out one day that the rubber under the arms have ripped. Just my contribution...

Damn it!! So what does this mean for me? I ordered the bundle pack through AE. I am having them shipped separate though. All this talk of 1st,2nd,3rd shipments and notices and payments has me confused. Has any of the people that ordered from AE heard anything?

Alter Ego doesn't have a concrete date from sideshow but they're expecting their Batman shipment sometime in the next couple weeks.

My third flexpay amount has not yet been taken. I am getting worried now because I would swear that it did so more quickly than this with the SUPERMAN figures.

I placed my pre-order via SSC on the 18th of October...I am hoping to be getting one one soonest! What you fellow freaks think of my chances?

They don't exactly go out of their way to put the news out re delays and such, do they?

I'm glad I ordered Batman the day it went up from Sideshow, but it looks like I'm in for a wait with my second Batman and the Joker (bought two). I ordered from CSC who usually receives theirs from Sideshow immediately.

I don't know, it sounds like CSC (and maybe all retailers) are getting their entire allotment from this upcoming 2nd shipment on the 23rd. Then maybe late SS direct orders will follow that (4/2)?

"Last I heard (as of yesterday) is that Sideshow is not expecting their shipment to clear customs till the 23rd and that our full shipment will be available shortly after."

"Unfortunately Joker will be processed in a similar fashion where 2 waves of shipments will be sent, retail orders will be fulfilled with the much larger 2nd shipment."

^This sentence right here? It ____ing sucks. That's what I think of that sentence.

That would make sense, because people like me that order 8-25-2011 thru a retailer would likely be considered furhter up in line than the guy who ordered 1-1-2012 direct thru SS.

Anyway, I better get my damn Bats on this round. They've "punished" me enough.

I ordered 9-4-11. I can't remember exactly when it went up for PO but I know I put mine in not long after. It feels like forever already. COME ON!!

 

[Wor-Gar]

I know. Let's hope. Even so, I still gotta wait for them to ship to BBTS, then for BBTS to ship to me. Another two weeks past arrival at SS.

 

[TheFiend]

How long does it take usually for SS to ship to places like AE and BBTS?

I ordered mine on Flexpay the day orders went up, and I just got my shipping notice. Batman will be here Wednesday.

They usually ship fairly quickly, however long it takes to set aside the orders. BBTS has over 700 preorders, that's a lot of boxes to organize.

Actual shipping to vendor: Depends on distance. But usually 3 days to a week (east coast).

Odd, first day preorder, you should have gotten yours in the first batch.

Got to be a lot of these babies sold.
