Re: 【Avengers: Infinity War -1/6th scale Doctor Strange Collectible Figure】
Yes. Mine arrives tomorrow!
Did Sideshow start sending out the second batch?

Given how much the first one goes for and how similar the two are I don’t see why most would choose the first if they didn’t have either but wanted to get one.So this one or the first one? I have V1 but thinking of selling it and grabbing this one since he was so much cooler in IW ha

Nice pics, but do you really... never remove the tape from the neck?? I know people are paranoid about staining, but that still seems like a bit of an overreaction to me (and frankly even more unsightly than a few small stains would be).
Seems like most people feel that in-hand the v2 has the better likeness though.
I have the 2.0 coming, but I have to admit I like the 1.0 headsculpt substantially more.
I'm not going to pay a collector's price for it at this point,. But if both were available in the after market, long after the second is out of production, I'd opt for the first in a heartbeat.
Viewed frontally, I thought these were looked more similar than they do with the hair being the main difference.
In every one of gmoney5000's pics, the original sculpt looks like the stronger likeness to me.
Oh well. Close enough to satisfy the itch for the time being, I suppose.
I have both and I kinda like the likeness on the second one better too. That being said, I haven't seen the stock 1.0 sculpt in person in quite some time (mine has been customized) and my photo skills have improved/changed too. I wish I had photos with more similar lighting, but this is the best I got.
I wouldn't mind seeing a Wong (I could probably be convinced to buy him), but I want a Mordo so much more. Maybe for Strange 2.
Yes please to a Mordo - plus it would help make his Operative character from Serenity!!!
So finally got around to unboxing 2.0! The headsculpt is stellar AF! Please excuse the white protection tape around his neck since I didn't remove it.
Enjoy the cellphone quality shots below!

I also took 1.0 out of storage to do some comparison shots and Strange-selfies.

Also I noticed that on my 1.0 his collar is popped open, whereas on 2.0 his collar is sewed pretty tight up top...perhaps the 1.0 stitching opened up? Can anyone else who owns 1.0 confirm if their top collar is open or not...or did mine just rip open?

Finally I think both capes from 1.0 and 2.0 have their pros and cons. In my opinion, I don't think there's a cape that is the better of the two...they kinda have their pluses and minuses.
1.0
Pro
- The 1.0 cape has a solid wire on the bottom, which helps tremendously with posing.
Con
- The neck piece is very tight and the golden parts on the collar are very sharp and if you're not careful you can def damage Strange's neck by scraping it when putting it on.
- Also I find the cape to be a little too thick, especially the collar piece. You can fold it but it's still too much material.
2.0
Pro
- The material is thinner, especially the collar, which looks more natural.
- Since the collar is much thinner and since the cape attaches via magnets there is no fear of damaging the neck if you're not careful while attaching it.
Con
- The 2.0 lacks the aforementioned wire, so can't get any real dynamic cape shots.
- The hard-plastic, shoulder pad area of the cape is nice, but it gets in the way of posing the left arm...therefore kind of hindering the articulation, since posing the left arm can cause the cape to easily separate and fall off from the magnet attachment.
Interesting, I never noticed the original had the wrong eye colour before.
