The red “X” on the chest should be LED if it’s to be accurate to the film.

Yes I was thinking the same. Doubt they'd pull that off.

Yep that’d be the difference between HT and your garden variety third party company.

Preordered. I wish it looked more detailed, though. I’m fairly content with the other two preorders I made this morning, i.e., Flash Point “Doomsday Reveler” (ZSJL Knightmare Joker) and “Lightning Man” (ZSJL Knightmare Flash). The prototype photos look really good for those. But this figure I’m concerned will disappoint. Hopefully the final version for release will be have a more refined, finished look to it.

Got my invoice from Giantoy and paid it today, and a separate email notification that this figure is about to ship.

Hearing that there's a freeze on shipping from China right now due to Covid.

 

[Nine Inch Nails]

Correct. I heard between Jan 20-27 is when it will resume. I have a tns order on hold.

Same here. Orders have been sitting in HK since December 30th.

How soon was that freeze on shipping made? I ordered two things from china last week and they're in the states already as of today

Standard HK post is suspended, they can still ship stuff via DHL or other services.

Gotcha. I haven’t had anything shipped standard HK post recently, but also haven’t used any fancy shipping either. Most sellers I’ve been dealing with have been using Speedpak or YunExpress for shipping and still been free. Hope you guys don’t have to wait too long

Man, I kinda want this, but then I look at the pics and I reconsider.

I’ll be honest that based on prototype pics I’m not expecting great things here. But I am hoping that the shipped figure is an improvement on the prototype. And depending on what we get, I might consider using a commission artist as well to see if it can be improved.

Got the email from Giantoy that the figure has now shipped.

[Nine Inch Nails]

Right! I want to see this go through the rounds first. Meanwhile, my DC Direct 13" Manhunter (with a little suit modification) works just fine and is a good, accurate height.
