Khev, did you get your exclusives shipped in seperate boxes or one big box? I'm surprised Sideshow ddin't catch their snafu.
Still not 100% sold on this figure. My gripes are the headsculpt (looks too Chip Hazard-like), the paint aps on the hair and questions on the body. For those that have in-hand, are the joints tight? I think one reason why the head looks off is that it may be a tad too big for the body (an affliction of many Sideshow figures). I think he may look better by adding some bulk to his upper body as well as his legs and hips, or swapping out the body as the shoulders need to be broader. The large head makes him look too Hasbro-like.
Two separate boxes, two separate charges, two tracking numbers, everything. I initially had a P number for the order since it was placed by phone. It converted to a T number shortly after but they never removed the first and ended up treating them as two separate transactions.
Put one back in its little shipping box and send it over to FLOSI... Pronto!
On a side note, I think people are having a tough time accepting that SS is going for a slightly stylized look with the human head sculpts in this line. Duke, Flint and Beachhead all have a slightly comic book/ cartoon look. This being the first such release it seems that some folks are a little less accepting... TBH, after the first round of pics I was a little sceptical myself but now I'm finding the wait to be unbearable. Duke looks bad ass!

Critique it when you actually have it sitting in your lap or GTFO. All of what you said is completely inaccurate. Of all the figures Sideshow's released, the proportions here are just about perfect. The head is to scale with the body. The hair looks 1000x better in hand because you're judging it off of the flash-washed pics. The shoulders and chest are beefed up and look perfectly fine. The shoulders DO NOT need to be broader either, otherwise you're gonna end up with gorilla style original TrueType shoulders which couldn't be more unrealistic. And as far as the joints, they're perfectly tight.
I don't really see Duke's head as stylized. Other then the too perfect features it looks like it could be a real person, that is if it was better painted.
