Right. I know I couldn't keep my mouth shut in the Ask Sideshow thread, but I am still really psyched about the figure. It's grown on me a lot and I'm not hung up on the changes anymore. Still need a BR Joker machine gun, but otherwise, I think he's killer.

This figure has also grown on me too. The first time I saw it, I was pretty impressed, but not sold. Now I think it's almost perfect. The only thing that rubs me slightly (I do mean sightly) are the black reinforced elbow/knee layers. It makes some sense(due to wear and tear in the battle field), but not really considering it's suppose to be an urban camo bdu set. The knees and elbows just clash and make the camo kinda useless.
And I do agree that the grey head is by far better than the camo one. I never thought I would ever say that, but it is. Just my opinion.

Had the camo been darker, those patches would hardly register.

You're probably right. Oh well. It's like i said, it has grown on me no matter what.

 

[Demimatt]

this is the figure that made me dive into the world of 1/6 figures!

I've made a science out of what is wrong with this figure.

 

[Demimatt]

so 2nd quarter is a month from ending....

Any idea when these will be shipped?

 

[preeny101]

3rd quarter. Count on September.

 

[thenammagazine]

3rd quarter. Count on September.

Depends. If the camo head we saw came from a production piece, he could quite possible ship as close as SE and CC which was what? 3 weeks?

 

[Demimatt]

so that means beachhead 1st quarter next year? What to buy until then...

Fingers crossed that happens.

Flex pay has him scheduled for July...the Flex pay gives an idea of releases

Firefly-July
Flint-September
Beachhead-November

 

[samueljd]

That would be cool to get these Joe figures every 2 month starting in July. Start saving your money boys.

 

[Silent December]

Does flexpay start months prior to the release and you get the figure along with everyone else or does it start when a figure is released and then you get it 3 months after?

 

[samueljd]

Flexpay normally starts the month after you request it. On figures, it's usually a 2 month payment plan.

That what I thought too. I had requested Flex pay on Duke last year, about 2 months after the PO went up. I figure it was plenty of time right? Well, when Duke started to ship out, I wondered why they hadnt charged me. I kinda got worried that something had gone wrong whith my order. I decided to contact them, they told me the flex pay was starting later that month and the 2nd payment the following month. I cant remember exactly what explanation they gave me, but it didnt make sense. I had requested flex pay way in advance.

I've flex-payed several items from SS before. Your first payment is either charged the month before the item comes out or the month it is released. It has been different on a case by case basis.

I've used Flex pay before , and this is the first time they charged me the month of.

It does happen sometimes... depends if there's another two weeks left in the month I've noticed.

 

[Demimatt]

has anyone been converted to an EX edition? Ive noticed alot of that happening with Beachhead so I am just wandering what my chances are.
