All good progress my friend. Boots do not fit the WorldBox legs, I shall be working on a remedy.

Some new noise on our shipments. Seems like they are on the move again if they get past customs.

Looks like mines moving.

They're on the move... but the question is to where? Continue on their way to us, or back to China?

They are back in customs, moving back to us.

Body swap, not futzed. Proportions wise maybe the head might sit a little higher and the legs are a bit too long, even though they are the same height as the stock body. Thoughts? Collection is ouf for dusting. Apologies for the dust and the unfinished Deckard, sooner or later I'll resort to water treat him...

The thing is, I reckon Mac looks damn good. Sometimes we expect toooo much. I am reminded, whenever possible keep it simple.

Work-in-progress...
DiD leather jacket conversion - Added fur-lined collar & lining.

Next steps, will add buttons to pockets, etc. and weather the jacket.

Looks great.

While I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a higher level of competency and execution at this price point, I do think this is a very decent figure if you can accept that this isn't really a high end figure and don't try to compare it to, say, Hot Toys. Folks were comparing this negatively to old Sideshow figures but at least this guy has reasonably tight joints and just looks good on the display. Something you can't say for the vast majority of SSC figures prior to, say, the Joe line (and some of those had very loose joints).

Looks great imo. Which body did you use?

 

[Brokenhandpuppet]

Shipment is on hold in Ohio....

 

[karamazov80]

No more clearances, I hope.

I’ve uploaded my review of the figure on my channel. If you’re curious about my initial thoughts after getting my hands on it, take a look! Here’s the link

I asked Mondo what was up with the hold. They said if it isn't delivered by the end of next week, I should email them.
