That really is fantastic picture. Can't wait till I get mine.

Modified (L) stock (R)
In reference to the side x side modified vs stock
I can see some differences, but it's totally subjective whether one is better than the other. The example on the right looks "bad" because it's a bad photograph. Look at the photo above in Simple's post of, what looks like to me, a stock DX12.
Differences between L+R that I (think I) see:
Wrists (some part of glove removed on L)
Upper Elbows (armor moved UP on L)
Thighs (thinner on L)
Eyes (squinted on L)
Faceplate (different one on L)
I can honestly say that I don't see anything different about the shoulder pads at all in any image.
I finally get mine today ( if I don't miss UPS ). These pictures just convince me more that I wont be modifying my figure. Although, I do understand why some freaks do ( to them it is part of the fun of collecting). I really think some of you would be bummed if you opened a box, and there was a perfect figure in there. The only make or brake for me is head sculpt.
Got mine just now! wow, my first Hot Toys figure, don't know if it's because is my first, but this looks awesome to me
Congrats man. I remember my first Hot Toys figure. DX05 Indy. I was in awe. Enjoy it man.
Just noticed in the other thread you didn't take out the padding. He looks so bloated right there.
But next time don't just judge a photo and think you know it all.
I just got my second DX 12 from Sideshow.
The outerbox is heavily damaged but the figure seems fine.
Do you think SS can give me another one?
Either way, I won't order from them ever again...

My DX12 came the same way back in November. I guess they beat the crap out of that box for some reason because everything else I've gotten from SS has been fine. The Batpod had a few dings to the brown shipper but nothing to the main box. I blame UPS for that anyway. Glad your figure is ok at least. I think they should consider free pack outs at this point as a nice CS gesture.
UPS can be rough, but the outer Box which fits very tightly against the inner box is not suitable for shipping individual units. it might be fine when you have a stack of these in a skid or in a container, but they really should go in another shipping box once they leave Sideshow. This isn't necessary with all products, but with a collectible where the packaging is an important part of the complete package, it's a necessity.
Someone just told me that SS do offer a $10 double boxing option. I didn't see it when I placed my order however. My DX05 was delivered with box in perfect condition, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for DX12 this Friday.
I've seen first hand a Fed Ex driver throwing a package onto my porch from over 10 feet away. I heard the truck pull up and was walking to the door so he wouldn't have to ring the bell - I got close enough to the window to see outside just a second before he tossed it, turned around and went back to his truck and drove off.
However, the UPS and FedEx drivers in my new neighborhood (and new town) have been great and also very personable when I've had the chance to talk to them. And the mailman here is always super careful with packages from what I've seen.
I've never requested a pack out from SS but I believe you need to do it over the phone.
