Me too, unless UPS decides NOT to do their ONE and only job.
I can't wait to get him.
Maybe some one in my family will pay for him and he'll be a Christmas gift!

Just off the truck and a quick crappy pic. First impressions: floppy body, joints loose, that bend foot makes it a ????? to stand as does the floppy body and loose joints. Had to find the sweet spot to get him in that stance and I wasn't completely confident that he'd stay up for the pic. Clothes hang naturally on body. Oh, and the eyes aren't doing it for me.

Not a glowing review... but he looks awesome

Does he have a pierced tongue?

 

[barryo]

i think the sculpt looks kick ass...........the eyes are kinda hard to tell with the color of the pic but i'm still liking what im seeing so far.

 

[JacktheRipper]

I know it doesn't sound good, but I do love the figure. The body is the issue and it shouldn't be. I can live with the bent boot. No tongue. I love that they painted the neck to match the head. I kind of wish the mohawk was made from synthetic hair.

I forgot my camera today o) but I should be getting mine in about an hour and I'll let you know my impression when I do.

DAMMIT MARC!

My Punk is perhaps a bit loose in the legs but it's not bad. The rest of my joints are as tight as any other PRO I have.

Custom is weathered and looks just like the prototype ecept for the jeans. They went with cheaper material for the production fig than we saw in the proto.

I thought the ear rings were sculpted on to the ears but nope. These are ear rings that dangle and move. Very cool.

Paint work is awesome except on the eyes. SS apparently decided to go with a very basic muddy orange with an implied cornea... it does look kinda cheap but the rest of the figure is so detailed it doesn't detract too much.

I actually prefer the normal hand to the one gripping guts. Such an awesome hand sculpt.

and for some reason the twisty-ties on this are a real bizzatch.

I have to say I have not been impressed with any of my recent "new body" Sideshow figures. They have all felt a bit loose... Cobra Commander is the only one that hasn't had at leas one weak joint.

Sideshow really needs to get this fixed already... we are many figures in now.

Getting it today!! C'mon UPS, where are you?

Luis

 

[JacktheRipper]

Yup, leg joints are the most loose. and it appears to be getting worse with every pose. I try not to use the stand, but this one is starting to drive me nuts getting him in a pose I like without one. The earring are a nice touch, but I wish they would have done the same with the nose ring. Those that get a nice tight body will be estatic; those with a loose one will be happy.

 

[Luis138]

Ok, so UPS always arrives at my office no later than 10:00 AM; it is 1:38 PM and no sign of UPS. Could it be that the driver's brains were eaten by a certain punk?

[pixletwin]

I think the poseability on this is difficult without a stand just because of the mohawk and the right foot. I always use stands regardless anyway, so no biggie to me.

 

[JacktheRipper]

see...I don't like stands and only resort to them when I absolutely have to. The right foot was a nuisance, but it doesn't look that odd in a regular stance since he's a zombie.

He's another pic:

Nice pic Jack... it reminds me of Al Jolson singing "Maaaaaaaaammy!"

If I were a racist I would have thought the same thing...
