Just messing around man, don't take things to heart. Not saying you are we're just a bunch of sarcastic people in here.

None taken, no worries.

Truly, though, that figure (Raiden) holds a special place for me since it's what sucked me into this hobby. Saw a post on a video game site last March about it and I was just blown away by how anyone could get that amount of detail into a 12" figure. Did some research on Hot Toys, liked what I saw, and it was downhill (for my wallet) from there...
 
I've had the Hot Toys Raiden for 2 weeks now, I love it. It's got plastic joints for the elbow and not rubber like we thought.

I would laugh so hard if this was the case in the final product :lol
 
Just got an email from Sideshow that my flexpay schedule's been changed to end in June. Sighhhhh. Was hoping that maybe this one would be released on schedule...

I expected as much.
 
So did I. Great! It's more time for Hot Toys to unnecessarily "fix" the head-sculpt (as they do with all of their delayed figures) so it'll look like this:
