I don’t know if that’s the case. I mean Cable was released in August and had blogger pictures on the Hot Toys Facebook page.

“Preparing to ship”
Yay.
Another figure in “prepaing to ship” limbo.

Same, charged last night and now in the "Preparing to ship" stage.

I'm sure I'll get it sometime before Christmas.

super excited to see how this figure turned out. in particular the head sculpt.

I don't know if we can say that, but something is definitely up. I wonder if whatever is happening only applies to SW figures?

Well, charged for this early int he morning.

When it charges how long until Sideshow typically ships out?

Honestly, it varies, depending if the product is in their warehouse at the moment.

Could be the next day, could be in 3 weeks.

Sarlacc Boba was a crazy ride for most of us here.

Pretty cool looking figure. I hope it ships soon!

A lot of the detail in the face seems washed out in this photo but I believe it's due to over saturated LED lighting above. I'd like to see some natural light shots of this head sculpt to see how the end result turned out vs. prototype.

Any further info on the imminent release of this figure yet? Hoping someone has received a notification....Wonder if its going to show up in North American before it shows up on the other side of the globe as it normally does. No reviews as of yet.

Nothing for me, was charged a week ago.

Yeah, I guess me trying to jump in and order backfired. I still planned to get Echo and the rest of the Batch anyways but I was hoping people would have started to receive it by now.

I saw this was on the imminent arrival list at Timewalker where I put a preorder in. That usually means they'll start shipping very, very soon.

So some of the authorized retailers have this on route from Sideshow already.

Perhaps they are aiming for simultaneous releases now.

that would be awesome if they did that, but still a challenging thing given the logistics and timing to achieve a simultaneous release worldwide..

Given the nature of very recent releases I think it may very well be the strategy. Probably because they were getting sick of folk buying from HK resellers while their stock was still 1-2 months away in transit. The amount of lost potential sales must have burned them

seems worth mentioning that sideshow posted one of their animated graphics about Hunter 3 days ago, and just shared an Echo one today. typically they post those once a figure has been in stock for a while if my memory serves me correctly.

they also replied to someone in the comments on the Hunter post that they still expect him to ship within the month, but I think we all know by now to take that with a grain of salt.
