Has anyone heard anything about Deathstroke recently (maybe an e-mail from a retailer or Mezco themselves)? I've been dying to get mine.
Also, got the regular Joker and classic Superman recently. The Joker is great, though the suit colors are a bit too monotone, and he could definitely use a few more accessories (both problems are being fixed with the DX version, though that probably won't be out for another year).
Superman is pretty good too and I'm overall happy with the figure but I have three main problems with it:
- The regular head's expression is way too neutral, like to an almost unnatural degree. Looks less like he's being indifferent or relaxed and more like he's zoned out and deep in thought. They really should've included at least two more heads for him - a determined, slightly angry one for fighting and then a more gentle, maybe smiling one. Still, the technical aspects for it are perfect (the hair, detailing and sculpting, the coloring) and he doesn't look bad posed on my shelf.
- The heat vision head looks a bit... goofy. He apparently burnt away his eyebrows and the heat vision effect is more pinkish than red so he looks less like he's about to unload some eye lasers on someone and more like he's really embarrassed about something.
- The belt needs to be smaller and thinner plus have some red loops on it.
I thought I'd hate the chest emblem but it seems I was fortunate enough to get a defective one. That probably sounded like a weird sentence but what I mean is that mine appears to lack the magnet gimmick (none of the bullets stick to it no matter where I place them) yet the emblem lays completely plush on his chest without any of the edges sticking up, which is a fine trade off for me.
