Has anyone Preordered Scar from Corner Store Comics? Just wondering if it is a local shop some of you are mentioning?

FYI- the 2nd is Labor day, No Mail. So there going out later then previously stated.

Just got mine from Sideshow. The box is deceptively small. It also looks to have the same type of inkjet printing on the black spots as City Hunter.

well how do you like the figure itself?

 

[Pineapple]

Besides the minor issues (fake inkjet printing, no movable lower jaw, uneven mask sculpt) I think this figures fantastic! I had the original HT Scar and this one is just so much better. The old one looked liked a toy and this one looks "real". I do like the sharper sculpt and brighter paint scheme on the original Scar's spear better than the new one though...

What do you mean by "inkjet printing" spots?

Does this mean my local shop is joshing me?

Instead of hand painting/airbrushing the black spots on the body, they use some sort of machine to print on those markings, similar to how an inkjet printer works. From normal distance you can't tell, but If you look real close you can see the printing dots. I believe they started doing this with City Hunter.

SSCs used the same method on some of their clone weathering...it sucks.

Yeah, HT seems to be doing a lot of shortcuts lately. That's what happens when they carry more licenses, produce more of each figure, add to that the pressure of the deadline with fans asking "where's my (insert figure name here)" on their Fb on a regular basis. Jake Sully figure has those dot matrix, as well as DX11.

[Bo Shrek]

That should have come with Scar.

That should have come with Scar.

That would have been a nice addition especially as it is such an important part of the movie.

This chestbuster cost my around $10.
There have plenty of them on ebay, easy to find.

*They are the recast version from HT chestbuster, not the original one.

But the quality is ok, and it is bendable too, so i am satisfy with it.
