I think the smirking sculpt on the DX15 features better viewing angles save for one:
I can't put my finger on what is throwing it off...maybe the lips protrude out a bit too much?
He looks great otherwise, and is a massive upgrade from the DX06 smirk.
Edit-screen grabs are from my video review

That pose is tricky. For one, the smirk head doesn’t expose his teeth during the smile. It’s also missing the added layers of laughing lines, for lack of a better term.
I initially went for that pose and when I discovered I wasn’t really digging it, I switched to this:
Tilting the head forward definitely helps the smirking head tremendously. Keeping his eyes peering off to his right, and at eye level or higher, further lends to the look.
My poses were more like what you've done, not exact to the film still.
I did make an effort to recreate the film shot with DX06 though, and will probably give a new shot at it with DX15, though the wheel will be photoshopped and not real this time.

Monkey Depot said they are now shipping Jack. How do they have it before BBTS?
Well Monkey Depot is in AZ, while BBTS is in WI.

I can't wait for Jack to get to my local shop. He will be my only non Star Wars HT figure in my collection.
Why is BBTS being so quiet!!!!?
He looks creepy in all those pictures.
It's the psycho eyes... and faint eyebrows.

Here on the Perimeter
Heard nothing, should get a notice in the next few days. SSC prolly just shipped them out today.
The good news of course is we're gonna have Jack sooner than expected. But not by much.
BTW, they are shipping this rather large DX in an OUTER box for $4 flat rate so I can wait.

That's exactly what I'm waiting for. Shipping from Monkey Depot was $16 and some change.

Talked with SS today about fullpaying Jack - apparently they've already alloted what they received of this shipment and are "out of stock" for the time being - so if you don't have a notice now you probably won't get one this time around.
Same with Arkham Joker for what it's worth. She quoted a good 2-3 months a least on Joker.

I went ahead and ordered him from BBTS. Wonder how long the wait will be.
It feels like this figure is impossible to receive outside of HK.
If you will brave the weird and haunted shores at world's end to fetch back witty Jack, then you will need a captain who knows those waters.

Hot Toys really seems to be weanie-ing out certain figures very slowly. This and the Spiderman deluxe right now both seem to be coming over in lots of about 20.
At first, I assumed it was probably a shipping limitation due to package size, but it almost seems like production completed enough to fill HK demand and get some US, so they released it, but now the factory is behind turning out the remaining foreign inventory.
Very strange indeed. When was this figure originally supposed to be released? What Quarter?
If shipment #2 isn't enough to get some to BBTS that means a long wait for a true "version 2" Sparrow to be made.
Let's hope the v2 is indeed better.
BBTS had it listed as Q1 originally, which meant March at latest, I looked the other day and saw they updated it to Q2, which they have to since we've been in April since Sunday.
Unless something obligates Sideshow to send some of what they got to other retailers, it would seem we're on hold for another few weeks, late April is looking likely, which sucks to wait, but at the same time, receipt of Jack and seeing Infinity War at the same time would be excitement overload.
