Well I finally got mine in and I gotta say... I’m pretty disappointed in Sideshow. Right after opening, the spit curl falls right off the head. No problem-a little glue and that was fixed. Next I try to set him up just to enjoy the figure as is for awhile but nope, the ankles are so tight on mine that the right one not only split the shin when trying to turn the foot, but also cracked the interior post that connects inside the leg. I had to immediately undo the suit to completely remove the ankle joint. Oh but before then, when removing the other boot, that joint snapped right off too at a different location. These are easy fixes with some glue but this is the reason why I just do-not-like Sideshow bodies!
Now, I’m not sure what to do as these new boot sleeves are larger so they don’t fit snuggly around standard body calfs. I have the original figure boots but they don’t have the nice leather texture the new ones do. Ugh. I had some high hopes for this as I was on a good track with SS figures recently having received Daredevil, Batman, Joker, Darth Maul and Darth Vader all within the last couple of months. Granted I did some mods to them but nothing on the original figures broke right out of the gate! I will say, I love the headsculpt which is also a shame since it won’t fit on a larger body. This definitely puts me off buying their Wonder Woman, Flash and Cyclops. Think I’m going to stop with Harley unless they make a Superman villain. This is really upsetting.
