Sideshow's 1/6 Lara Croft

[Mad Old Lu]

My status still says "processing". My 12-15 day notice came on Oct 22, so there's still this week to go.

I didn't receive any notice at all. I am still thinking whether I should cancel this and a couple of other 12-inch figures so that I can get one of the PF figures I have been wanting.

Mine still says processing. As SSC bunch items together to save me $$ on shipping (across the border) I'm hoping that she'll go out with the Anakin PF (which I'm hoping will be ready to ship within the week).

Processing Alert Notice!

"Dear Valued Collector,

We will begin processing all orders for the Lara Croft 12-inch Figure collectible (item #2801) on November 5th. We ask that you have the funds available on your credit card by this date to ensure the successful processing and shipment of your order."

 

[EVILFACE]

Great, should be shipping soon, prolly have her the middle of next week.

 

[MANDO]

I'm really excited about this one! Gonna look great in either outfit I think and the exclusive is a must have, IMO.

What does the Otaku body look like?

Here are some good pics...

Not a fan of those bodies. Funny, the female buck pulls off the video game look for Lara.

 

[Sachiel]

I wonder if there's a chance for an Underworld or even an Anniversary Lara?

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I had the non-exclusive on order, but I saw that the exclusive is back up on Second Chance! I ended up canceling my original order and placing a new order for the exclusive. Do you think if I had called them they could have changed my order over the phone? It was after hours so that wasn't an option, and I was afraid the exclusives would sell out by tomorrow morning. My order for the non-exclusive still said "processing" and it let me cancel it, so I don't think I'll be getting two!

 

[EVILFACE]

Might not hurt to call them since a recent email said they were going to start authorizing CC's.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I called earlier and my switch from non-exclusive to exclusive went through fine. So, hurrah, I'm getting the exclusive! The Sideshow person also mentioned that they'll be starting to authorize credit cards for Lara "in the next 2-3 business days". Seems like they were a little premature with their processing alert email...

I also think that in cases like these, where there are extra exclusives, they have exhausted the wait list, and the regular versions are all on wait list status or sold out, they should either offer the exclusive to those with a non-exclusive order, or have some kind of option when you place the order on a regular to automatically upgrade you to the exclusive if the situation arises.

 

[Mad Old Lu]

I spoke too soon about SSC being premature. My account now says "Item shipping soon". One step closer!

 

[Fives]

got my lara shipping from cornerstore comics, she should be here next Wednesday!

 

[IrishJedi]

Man, cornerstore has been quicker in shipping out Sideshow products than SSC themselves have been lately.

Pics from Toy-World.

The proto's paintjob was perfect and didn't look hard to replicate. What happened?

 

[EVILFACE]

Hair is a little light and she has some blush on the cheeks, but other than that she looks great. Love the box art.

 

[YoNoSe]

The only thing I'd fix is the lower lip, assuming they're all painted like that one. Maybe a dark wash on the hair. The eyes look good and that's the most important part, IMO. Clothes look great. Hopefully she ships today.

 

[superdoug]

she looks great to me in those pictures. it's always hard to judge until the figure is in your hand though

 

[Morbo]

sweet! she looks great. was it ever confirmed she is using a new body?
