My detailed run down:
-everything screams quality
-The Clothing: is tailored wonderfully, every last bit. the fit is excellent in every way. the overcoat is not baggy like some feared. My DX came out of the box PERFECTLY futzed. I was amazed. The tie and shirt collar are things to behold coming from other suited figures.
-the jacket: IS a bit furry. not pimp daddy level, but yeah its there. you have to be closer to notice, but in some areas it's very noticeable, particularly the shoulders and lapels. it is also going to be a dust magnet, especially larger pieces of lint and fiber.i put him down on my bed for a minute and he picked up a lot of fibers from just that. going to need to wash and dry your hands with microfiber cloth everytime you want to futz the thing.
the fit, the drape and cut however are top notch, including the shoulders. those are non-issues. the sleeve ends ARE flared. The shoulders don't come as horizontally boxy as the prototype but they do remain straight and flat, not crumply like Dx01. a problem however, is that even the manual tells you to not rub the material or expose it to certain chemicals. when hot toys bothers to tells you something is delicate, you know they mean it. for those wanting to weather the coat, you might want to think twice about it and make sure the materials you plan to use don't contain the chemicals listed. also, thanks to the cut of the suit, no cutting or modding of the inner coat will be needed imo. overall the material may bother some but there's no doubt in the high, above-standard quality and cut of said material.
-PERS sculpt: is amazing. Microdots or whatever for me are impossible to see even when I'm looking at it up close. I can't see any on mine at all and I've strained to try. It's just too small to discern with the naked eye, at least mine. if this is the future of Hot Toys paint apps, then I welcome it with open arms. the difference that is so clear in some of the zoomed pics between the eyebrow paint and the under eye 'drip' is very difficult to see or notice in hand. the PERS system is disguised extremely well. took me a while to figure out how to access it!
-Laughing sculpt is better than expected. remember the figure exists in 3 dimensions in hand. in hand things are always different since it's actually...well there in front of you and not a static fixed image. i wasnt excited about this sculpt and now i am. one odd thing is that it is a bit...glossy. glossy in a way that the PERS sculpt isn't. not a problem but odd.
-Accessories: are top notch. the dio is really cool, lots of love put into it. maybe the picture used is a bit low resolution but the quality of it overall, the thickness, the way it fits together with velcro, the 'mirror' like material put into the sides, all of it is excellent. not just a glorified piece of cardboard stuck inside.
-the table and chair: do not feel like cheap plastic after thoughts. they're solid, sturdy, come with faux velvet bottoms to avoid scratching any surface you display them on and even the lamp is die cast metal and magnetic.
that's all i gotta say for now, any questions feel free to ask. overall i'm pretty overwhelmed by the figure, but the coat will be divisive for people still even though i think it will win over a good amount of those on the fence about it once they have it in hand.
Since I've scaled back my spending to a trickle, DX11 is one of two POs I have at the moment. When this arrives I'm sure I'll enjoy the hell out of it.
