Does anyone know if I pay off my preorder on Sideshow today, will it ship on Monday?

No, there’s no method to get them to ship earlier. They’ll ship when they do.
Choosing to pay it off manually may actually push you back in the queue because it counts as a change to your order.
It’s complicated.

So there's really never a reason to pay it off early?

Nope, not unless you really want to. Doing so does not move your order up or get it shipped earlier.
It’s better to let them charge you when the time comes.

It may ship before then and based on the arrival date on the site, probably will. Sometimes it doesn’t get updated in your account and you just suddenly get a tracking number.
There’s supposedly an internal system that ships based on a specific optimized order but from what I’ve seen it still feels random.
But yeah, don’t feel like you have to pay the figures off early if you don’t want to.

Hard to keep straight what I’ve posted where!
I’ll include a high-res version of that one here in the next batch

Third batch of photos! Plus some thoughts/questions for other owners.
This figure is really special. The seamless silicone shoulders, tailoring on the costume and the rolling eyes all make the figure shine. This is my first figure with separate rolling eyes as opposed to the old PERS system, and it’s quite a chore to get the eyes both looking the same direction - especially if you want to return her to looking directly ahead. One thing about the eyes and the likeness - they’ve sculpted her eyelids as to be invisible, which for that to be the case with Rosario she’d have to be looking upward slightly. So I believe that’s why the likeness comes across best on this figure with the eyes looking off and upward.
I thought it was curious the instructions make no mention of how much the arms can or cannot move forward and backward at the shoulder - only that they can raise outward 110°; and indeed, posing her with an arm raised as far forward as I could push it was the only time I’ve seen any kind of pinching in the silicone (which healed itself pretty quickly). I haven’t seen any reports yet of tearing or damage - but perhaps that’s only because no one’s willing to leave her arms bent for extended periods of time
She’s got some great shoulder shrug forward and backward built in there that I would strongly encourage people to use!Liking the cloak quite a bit, although getting the hood far enough forward can be tricky; any tips for that? Also curious if there’s any concern that it would stain the body or head over time? What’s the feeling on that?
Really disappointed and honestly a little angry that when Hot Toys has finally chosen to give us ankle tilt on all or most female figures, they’ve simultaneously taken away the cut for thigh swivel on all or most female figures. What on earth is up with that? Really makes it a challenge to put the legs in a believable action stance when the only swivel is a few degree at the hip joint.
Could have used some force-gesture hands and wish the sabers and lantern lit up - but I guess that’s what Photoshop’s for

Amazing photos as always!
The instructions also say don’t bend the arms outward so haven’t they contradicted themselves? (Nothing new for HT really).
That’s ridiculous.

That’s a winner! If I took that one, I would blow it up, frame it, and hang it on the wall.Hard to keep straight what I’ve posted where!

Thanks! So, of course, that’s the image the Instagram algorithm decided to suppress and bury, blocking it from showing up in any of the hashtags
But at least I can share it here!

I think she’s pretty great.
I hope these ****** wrist legs get replaced at some point. I wouldn’t be paying 350$ for a figure whose wrist pegs can’t stay together or come out to switch hangs. Wild.
I wish this came with the water effect, and the regular base. And more hands.
This should have been 50$ less
But pretty awesome otherwise!

I see now what you were talking about with the hammer pants; can you explain what you meant by 'water treat' and what you did? Thanks!
