Is this in stock and shipping now at Sideshow or is it still in the batch ******** phase? I'd buy this for xmas but it needs to arrive by the 25th, if there is no chance on that happening ill have to buy something else and wait on this until after holidays

Even though some are shipping, Sideshow still has it listed as a preorder so to be honest I doubt there’s any shot it’ll arrive by Christmas.

For anything new lately it seems to be batch shipping.
 
This kid is truly amazing
20181215_124906.jpg

This will be his lifetime pose so luckily im not worried about creases. Was thinking if i should wait to see how the far from home figs would turn out with the different suits. Maybe one of them would be better picks for my one and only spidey...but decided to hold my gut and stick with this guy. Didnt disappoint, such a massive shelf presence
 
Nice pose ! This guy will also be my only Spiderman. I originally wasn't planning on getting him at all. But after the reviews he really is an amazing figure. And when compared to the other suits they just seem bland in comparison. As he'll be with Infinity War characters and Thanos it also makes sense to have this guy I think.
 
BBTS is so far behind SSC...Hela, IW Cap, Emperor and now Iron Spider :pfft: where is their stock
 
absolutely love this figure, one of my favorites for sure

Got this guy opened up. Went with the Tom sculpt for now, and one webshooter hand with the arm bent slightly upward. Oh, and the extra limbs attached!

As a fellow collector, I want you to get the most out of your figures. There’s nothing wrong with museum poses. I have several figures in similar poses. However, both figures in that photo appear lifeless. There are little adjustments that you can make to give them more presence. I suggest watching some “How to be a poser” videos. That’s where I learned about the little things like ankle positioning and natural posture. It’s a lot of fun working with the figures, sort of molding their bodies like clay. The results are worth it. Give it a try if you’d like.

I really enjoy the how to be a poser series. Would you mind posting some examples so we can see the difference? I love that my figures are poseable, so when I want to mess around with them I can, but in the end I just enjoy them in the, "A" stance.

I'm not being snarky I am genuinely curious of the difference that I can make.

Much appreciated

I feel like other suppliers are now way behind Sideshow. Ever since they started getting their stock closer to the HK release, other suppliers are getting later and later.

I'm convinced it's a SS strategy to get customers back who got sick of their high postage fees etc.

Sure thing. I’ve added the Spoiler tag so everyone doesn’t have to see nineteen pictures that aren’t of this figure.
I don’t have a professional camera. So these are all cellphone pics. Which unfortunately looses depth and causes elongation. Also, I haven’t installed any lighting yet.
Here, Han has just a little twist in his hips and his shoulders are leaning back. A slight angle on his wrist helps too:

A wide stance on Luke, a slight lean on Leia, with her torso twisted, along with lots of futzing, helps to sell this classic duo pose:
85a57e2ddee55cadb3299c691f654e3b.jpg
Here, Jack has his shoulders slightly back, with his hips forward and twisted slightly. With one arm up in the air, and the other hanging on for balance, it helps sell that he’s drunk. I also used PERS to have him looking sideways.
73a779e8e5ef9a1c95722639a41f25d1.jpg
Here, The Joker has a slight lean to him. Which helps sell the weight and length of his gun:
dfcb28cc8704cfb8f0a523f9ebd6261b.jpg
In this classic pose, Indy is squatting while he “weighs” his options:
e162d2e6942e448fddedb5ae647e33de.jpg
This pic is all about posture. Heath Ledger’s Joker is pretty slouched with his head slightly tilted. He appears to be dragging his feet after crawling from a car wreck, as he coaxes Batman to hit him. Selina Kyle has a posture that accentuates her curves. With one hip downward and very particular tilting of her torso. You can also see Bane in the background “posturing” with quite a bit of confidence:

This DC Trinity setup showcases a solid defensive stance, with the option for forward momentum. It’s all about the footing. Wonder Woman’s sideways stance with one foot forward adds depth. Notice the slight bend in her knee and the toe of her boot pointing forward. Superman’s hover pose is simple, yet effective. With one knee bent, and the toes of his boots pointed downward, his floatation is easily sold. Batman has a wide stance, with one foot slightly forward and his fists at different heights, selling a fighting stance:

Here are a couple of flight poses. I find that bending the knees and pointing the toes downward really sells the height of the flight. I have their arms at different heights and depths to add life:

Here are a couple of seated poses. I find that it’s all about the slouch. Use a seated posture that works for the character and sells body weight. Notice Loki’s legs are wide and posed at different heights. The toe of his right boot gently resting on the floor. I also have him putting some weight on Odin’s spear. Check out Blondie here too. He’s perched atop a 1/6 horse, but I really wanted to focus on him. He’s putting some weight on his stirrups as he balances his rifle over his forearm to take aim. For this pose, I tried to get as close as possible to Clint Eastwood’s on-screen presence.

Here are several poses using the various techniques I’ve discussed:

Here are some dynamically posed fights. You can really “feel” the impact of Winter Soldier’s punch to Steve Roger’s shield. You also really get the impression that Falcon is flying backwards as Iron Man stands his ground with a wide stance on a multi-level surface:

Sometimes, setting up a display is just too much fun! Everyone wants Stan’s autograph, but only Deadpool wanted him to sign a bazooka!

I’ll close with Suicide Squad Batman. I’ve posed him atop a detolf, on a gargoyle. I tried as hard as I could to imitate a classic Jim Lee Batman pose. This Batman is on a multi-level surface; with one knee bent and one foot forward, while resting his right hand on that leg. He stands with an intimidating posture. Stoic. His cape was one of the most difficult futzing tasks I’ve ever had, but worth it. It really sells the wind atop the building:

Nice! Thank you for taking the time. These guys look fantastic and give me/others something to think about. I really do love Bat's cape!
