Baking soda works really well and it wont harm anything. Dry it looks like flakes. Add watered down PVA glue to the baking soda and it hardens for bases or a semi permanent effect on clothes. The more glue you use the harder it will be.

Don't use baking powder USE BAKING SODA.

Is it me or could the whole set switch over to a slightly bigger body? Everything looks proportional but just too big for the frame.

He looks squatty to me too. Moving him to a TT would help a lot.

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking about what to use.

How are people getting this already while the rest of us have to wait until May now?

 

[davejames]

^ Um, what he said.

 

[inked]

Because the standard figure has been out in Hong Kong for a couple of weeks

What?! May?! I thought this was going to ship in a couple of weeks. SCC just posted production pics to let people who ordered it see what they're getting. Pics from HK sellers are showing up fast. I assumed that meant this was shipping soon.

But... in checking the page, Apr to May is what it says. Which is... close to two years after the proto was shown at SDCC. And close to 18 months after it went up for p.o.

And people in Asia get a Sideshow product THREE MONTHS before Sideshow's own customers do? Wow. I believe I was one of the very first people to order this figure... and will be one of the last to receive it.

 

[SithThundercracker]

Yeah, that's absurd. My last flex is still for may...

To be fair, Hong Kong getting Sideshow releases before Sideshow has only started happening since the dock dispute.

What do mean?

Wasn't R2 caught in the dock dispute?

 

[Rorywan]

Sideshow are always going on about warehouses, shipments, docks etc aren't they. Yeah, I know there was a dock strike, but i mean generally. I've never heard another toy supplier talk about this **** so much. I don't care about their shipments, warehouses or whatever. I really don't.

IDW Publishing just this week sent an apology to customers regarding books that are delayed due to this same dock dispute.

Yeah, i know the current situation has had genuine knock on effects as i said. But Sideshow are always referencing their warehouses, shipping etc.

 

[Stealth V3teran]

Should have mine tommorow, going to have to drive to the depot to grab him. I have a knock off 19 lying around so may port over see how it looks.

 

[Rorywan]

Is anyone selling the blue coat yet?
