Sideshow Stormtrooper 12" figure

Woot for tax refund! For a little bit there I was worried I wouldn't have the funds when he released.

30 day shipping notice for EU customers - WOOT!

Not sure where that information comes from. I've got a bare TT right here and it's all plastic. Accidentally removed one of the lower legs the other day and it's all plastic connections, similar to the Pro's construction. Not sure where the difference lies, but I don't see anything special used to cause the tightness quality.

That is very interesting. I forget who wrote what I was discussing, but I know it was said on here somewhere. Anyway, I'm not sure why Hot Toys joints remain tight then. Also, do you notice that the Prometheus has a ratchet-like feel when you bend the knees? So there is some difference in the knee joints for sure.

Man, these STs can't come soon enough!

Well, I think the ratcheting is because there are actually notches on the joints to click into various positions and sort of lock in, I think it's Dragon has bodies that do that in the arms, all over basically, feels nice and tight though. Plenty of figure bodies out there have tight joints, not sure if it's quality of the plastic, production process or what, it's achievable and I hope the new SSC bodies hit that stride, I like their designs but floppy bodied figures are just saddening, espcially now that I have over a dozen HT's with no floppiness.

Nope. Nothing on there yet.

No prob.

Thanks, man. I know they sometimes get stuff before we do, it should be hitting shelves over there very soon.

 

[Dally]

So this should be shipping between Wednesday and Friday?

Speaking of the reference to Chinese forums, whatever happened to AOTC Obiwan? Wasn't he released from manufacturing in China months ago?

Yeah...I am miffed because I bought one on eBay and it ended up getting lost in mail limbo somewher between here and Hong Kong. They attempted to deliver it to me and I wasn't there. I called the next day and they told me they already sent it back. But the tracking number does not show that Hong Kong has recieved it yet.

That sounds strange. What mail carrier was this? Don't they have multiple delivery attempts before returning a package?
