    Right, am just wavering on ordering one due to visual issues like that. I hope you're right about them fixing it :)

    It's not. She's not.

    She is about half a head/a head shorter than Brainstorm. She should and will be a voyager if MMC decides to make her.

    Lest the prefer regression and make her a deluxe like MMC's first take into the IDW game. I really hope not, and think they wouldn't. Stranger things have happened I guess.

    i mean, this is a very early test shot. there are wrong colours, mold imperfections, and i had to modify things to make them fit. pretty standard with stuff this early along.

    Not liking the price increase, but given this guy will have somewhat limited numbers I'll bite.

    Not available for pre-order via PSX yet, right?

    Don't worry, MMC likes making ginormous figures. I'm sure she'll be a voyager, and a not something between a deluxe and a voyager which is where I think she should be.

    I wonder what the PSX exclusive is, if there is one.

    Hopefully they've stopped doing that. I seem to recall a statement that they did stop doing that, which was stated after the last figure didn't come with one and people wondered why. Single outlet exclusives that can't be purchased separately are the bane of collectors just like individual retailer exclusive unlocks with videogame purchases.

    I'm hoping that it's fixed where you're able to store the greatsword on its back without the back strap obstructing it (As pointed out in Vangelus' pre-release review).

    They haven't stopped.

    Dicamus came with an extra gun.
    Calidus came with an extra gun.

    For this one? I expect an extra big sword.

    Did not Dicamus include the extra gun from all retailers?
    Regardless, I'm pretty sure I recall word that they stopped that practice and instead offer free shipping.
    That's much better than disenfranchising most of the customerbase of an accessory that arguably should have been in every package.

    Extra is from PSX, but was a recolor of Titanika's rifle.

    Nope, extra gun came from PSX only.

    Also the free shipping is limited to preorders only. Once the item has been released, you have to pay shipping.

    Policies are loose for PSX. Or rather, there are no specific rules, from what we have seen on the past few figures.

    Those extras mentioned by divinecomedy were PSX exclusives.

    Free shipping "seems" to be now for preorder, and once in stock, it stops being free shipping...
