Hot Toys MMS243 - 1/6th scale Captain America & Steve Rogers

[jedijim3002]

Mine just charged. Should see this in a week.

 

[Perceptor]

So if I buy 2 pack and pay it out it'll ship this week but if I order the single figure it won't be out until the dock strike clears? Just wanted some clarification.

 

[bransen2099]

Are these really shipping out, or people just getting charged because there's a difference

I thought the dock slowdown was ongoing and had yet to be resolved.

It seems full pay people are getting charged, which I thought only happened when SS got the product in.

I thought the dock slowdown was ongoing and had yet to be resolved.

Looks like a few things are trickling in, but it's still ongoing.

Someone said AlterEgo got a shipment in. My guess is if they did, Sideshow did.

SS is supposed to ship out 72 hours after they charge but that doesn't always happen. They charged me for The Dark Knight armory and it didn't ship for almost 2 weeks after that. It's kind of frustrating how things work sometimes.

I was going to say that that was the case with the Mark 42 so I wouldn't say it's shipping with the utmost confidence.

It's a slow down, not a shut down. Stuff IS getting through, just a lot slower than usual.


Also, just checked my order status - SHIPPING SOON!!!! Should have this in just a few days.

Has anyone ordered the single Cap? What's the status on that?

Same here. I figured they would have pushed the flex through because of the long delay no matter the date. They did that on my WW 1/4 PF but I guess not for HT.

I don't think they got all of them in yet. Either way, from experience, i've never seen them move flex payments up, only back. And they don't tend to ask you if you want it moved up or even tell you that it's in stock (I usually find out on here)... But I have asked them to move a payment up to complete an order when figures come in before the flex payments are finished.

 

[RiggsMcClane]

Welp, a number of these must be in. I just received an e-mail about my spooktacular win and it's now in. Exciiiited!

Guys I know I said I was happy with the V shape torso mod and then that I was moving on to bulking up the chest. However, I just thought maybe there was away I could make it better as it still didn't look as good of a V shape as it could of been so I went back and modded it again. LMK what you guys think.

Except for his fly being open, that looks better than even your rubber band method.

The rubber bands are still there, I just put a length of material in between the rubber band area and tied it like a belt.

 

[HPGR_Thrawn]

I wonder if something like heat shrink would work to tighten up the ab area? It would restrict the ab crunch, but may work. I'm also thinking about doing something to the shoulders to make them a little bigger/wider.

 

[Jaymig926]

What about some Gorrila duct tape around the torso to really tightend things up?

I'll be buying a colored shield from a fellow board member. It'll make this Cap look even better.
