Well, my friend and I were planning a trip anyways, and I sorta coerced him into letting us go around the release date.

Stress marks ALREADY!?!?
Look at the joint behind the elbow on the right arm in the above pic!

I'm thinking the November date is wave 2, but I ordered July 23rd so they should have me on the first wave. We'll see what happens.

What? What are you talking about? Behind the elbow? You mean the creases on the elbow?

Yep. Begins Batman is the same way.

I've yet to see any stress marks on the original suits that have been around for months, and I would assume they are the same rubber material?
Those wrinkles inside the elbows and behind the knees are sculpted for added realism. That's what the real foam latex suit does, that's what regular clothes do. I can't even see how you could get stress marks on that part of the suit anyway, since it's not actually under stress - the outside of the elbows is what is stretched. I would doubt that there is enough pressure exerted by the elbow joint to cause any permanent wrinkling in the rubber on the inside of the elbow.

To each their own, I guess. I caught the original, Batman Begins at the IMAX in San Jose. Not only was the sound deafening (in a bad way), but the action sequences were blurred and I left with a migraine from looking straight up 90% of the time. I caught The Dark Knight at Cinemark and I can vouch that it was just fine in the normal theatres. I imagine will be just as good, if not better on BluRay with my HiDef set and digital surround.

1. Batman Begins was not shot in Imax.
2. Maybe you shouldn't sit in the front rows of an Imax Theatre.

I have sat at the back at the imax everytime or close to the back. Since all the seats always usually get taken its hard to choose a seat you want.
For me The dark knight had to be seen in Imax , some of the scenes just looked amazing.
I went to the Imax three times with three different sets of people , it always was amazing.
I went to see the movie again twice in normal cinemas and whilst it was awesome it didn't seem to have the same kick as Imax. I'm glad I caught it there.
Its like the stuffs gonna shoot out of the screen .

Yeah, it was at Imax, I never said it wasn't
I said it wasn't shot in Imax.
2. You have Eye problems than.
Just got a reply back and ActionHQ said that Hot Toys delayed the figure a month. Perhaps there's something going on with Hot Toys. Has any who has ordered from someplace else gotten a shipping notice?
How can it be delayed a month when HT just said it's shipping now, unless like SSC it takes a month from shipping to get to North America.

Probably because they did this just like they did the BB and Joker, release a limited wave to tide people over till full release.
Do you have anything to confirm that they did that with those figures?

Bingo. This is the exact same thing they've done before. That news doesn't surprise me.
