[EVILFACE]

Friday the 13th for me.

Will get this on Monday.
I was hoping they shipped it out early today. When they do that I get it the same day.
One of the advantages of living in So. Cal.
I would gladly wait for items longer if it meant I didn't have to pay sales tax.
****, tax is more than shipping.

Same here...I ordered their Fett 1/6 scale a few months back and got it the next day. Sales tax is an absolute ***** though, but I guess that's the price to pay to get the items earlier...

Did your emails contain the dates? I poed yesterday and haven't seen a date yet.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I got an email stating I'd be charged on the 6th. Then I got an email, on the 6th, that it's ready to ship. Same day got another email stating it shipped.

Huh. So far I only go the order confirmation.

 

[Batty]

You'll get a UPS Quantum notice...if you're getting it shipped by UPS, that is.

Huh. So far I only go the order confirmation.

If you just ordered yesturday, you're order most likely isn't going to be fulfilled until folks who Pre-ordered it get fullfilled. I say "most likely" b/c there are times that new orders somehow get fulfilled before those who Pre-ordered

I preordered when it became available. I received a notice that I would be charged on the 6th but they haven't charged it as of yet.
My account says shipping soon.
Hopefully they will charge and ship mine on Monday.

Thursday for me.

I don't mind the white gloves. He wears both purple and white in the comics. Considering how many Hot Toys Joker figures there are that have purple gloves, it is nice to get something a little different with this Sideshow figure.

Agreed. People are just addicted to purple gloves because of the movie characters.

I think the white gloves have a really sharp formal look to go with the tuxedo.

This will be here on the 11th. I like the white gloves. this will make a great addition to my Joker collection. SS better nail this as it can make or break the line. Hoping to see more than batman characters in the near future.

 

[Jmek]

Yessss! he's been shipped, should hopefully have him by this time next week!

awesome.... cant wait to see it...

Just got him. Great sculpt and clothing, not a fan of the body. The knees are very hard to bend then put back into place and the feet are wobbly at best. You will definitely need to use a stand with this one or he might tip over.

is it possible to use an hot toys body.... ???

 

[FDBMath]

Just got it, looks great so far. I haven't pulled it out of the box yet, but it looks great.

 

[zalahmar]

So after handling him for a little bit here are some thoughts.

1) Great head sculpts.
2) Clothing is good but could have been better. Shirt collars always want to point up, jacket collars always raised. You are going to have to do some homework to get them to look right. Another thing to note is that the clothing is not fitted around the body. The Joker 2.0 for example was extremely well fitted , the clothing here can easily be slid on and off and has a looser or baggier quality.
3) Sideshow includes pegs for each swappable hand, something Hot Toys could learn from.
4) The Accessories don't look right in some of the hands, for example, the revolver just doesn't seem to want to sit right in the left or right hands that are designed for it and when you do get it situated, something just looks off.
5) The body is not the greatest. Trying to swap the heads is like a tugging match, it's really stuck in there, the knees are extremely hard to bend and the feet are just plain wobbly.
6) Good effort from Sideshow, but they are no where near Hot Toys territory yet when it comes to the final product and presentation.

Edit: I actually decided to return this figure and ask for a refund. After going back and realizing this figure cost $190, I simply cannot justify the price when compared to the quality of the final figure. I also cancelled my Harley Quinn based on this release. I'll just stick to the Premium Format line for these figures.

Some quick photos with my camera phone.
