Open my figure last night, had lots of trouble putting the batteries in. Seems like the screwdriver that came with the figure didn't work at all. had to go out and purchase a bigger screwdriver then the one Hot Toys sent. Anyone have similar problems? Should I keep the batteries inside all the time or take them out? Thanks for any advice

I would keep them out. These batteries tend to leak over time.

 

[BoogieKnights]

Take them out if you're not gonna use the light up feature. Batteries will corrode and leak.

 

[BoogieKnights]

Once I get mines, I'll install the batteries to see if all lights are functional then back in the package they go.

Still no ship notice. Charged yesterday. Oh well I guess it'll go out today and I should have it Thursday.

I'm in the same boat and it's driving me crazy!!

All these pics look awesome. I'm so excited to get this guy.

 

[Fives]

my status is at "shipping soon" too so i guess if it doesnt ship today it'll be till Tuesday then.

 

[ApeManRyan]

Still says Shipping soon for me too. I guess it will go out today.

Off topic question, Can these figures be Insured?

You can insure almost anything. It is up to the company you go through.

Sorry to bring it up again but I guess waiting to see if he delivers might be an option. As for banks getting money back for you I believe the time scale is years rather than months.
Not to sure on that one however.
If he doesn't deliver I'll be sure to learn from this and let people know about him and these scams that go on.

Here are my quick pics from last night. Will be adding the batteries and taking real photos today.

What type of camera do you use @ GDBatman

These are Canon 6D. I believe all of these pics were taken with the 24-105L lens. When I setup in the studio later I'll use a couple other Prime and Macro lenses.

Just received mine at 1:10pm est. love it. No need to post pix as others have already done better then I could.

I purchased the Sonyrx100 Mark3 and they don't come as clean as your dslr. Great looking pictures, sharp and clean

Thanks. I actually really like the rx100 for a walkaround point and shoot. Takes nice video too. But yeah DSLRs take the cake on sharpness and depth of field.

Mine's still saying shipping soon. Hope it goes out today as it takes me a full week to get a shipment from Sideshow.
