Looking forward to pics! I’m teetering on ordering this one but there’s just too many pre-orders at the moment.

I’d rather have the rest of David’s crew.

Indeed...where are the pics? I'm on the fence because of the cost but could be swayed by solid in-hand photos.

As of right now Tracking says Tues for me which is great because it's my day off!

Saw this on FB. I really love stuff from the 80s but I'm finding this one hard to justify for $300 +tax +$20 shipping. So I'd be looking at close to $350 for this at the end of the day pretty much.
The jacket looks pretty good though, I like it. However that sculpt is just real off, he has pleather pants, and it looks like the skin tone on the face paint comes no where near close to matching the neck/body. If he doesn't have double jointed elbows it makes things even worse. The bad knockoff Redman version has a better likeness to the actor which I don't think I've ever said about any figure before.
Sorry to poopoo on this figure, I was hoping it would grow on me or they'd maybe make a few changes to the sculpt. I think I'll pass one this one. Maybe at $190 but I'd still be pressed.

Redman
EDIT: I think a big downgrade is in the hair. The paint is just globbed on there. The hair in the proto stood out to me and showed a lot of details with smaller individual strands. The paint job on the final product hair looks as though it was painted by a 5 year old at one of those paint a ceramic birthday parties.

...let's not forget the SS version comes with upside-down chopsticks, to top it off!

I think the likeness is better on the Sideshow version but agree with all your other points. This is a hard one for me as Lost Boys holds a special place as the movie my wife and I saw on our first date...but that $290 price tag is salty. Needs a 20% off sale and I'd probably bite...
Yeah same here ....I'll wait for a sale
