    Good to hear I'm not the only one. I'll hold on to my towel and continue to not panic. :)

    You should be fine by using the private warehouse. They sometimes are slow at sending the invoices... I waited about a week once and the item was in stock.

    It also took a while before I received my notification mail, but they just charged me for Thor.
    I was getting a little concerned myself.

    I cancelled both ordered and reordered them together and got an instant payment request when i did so, just to make sure they combined the shipping

    Yep, same here.

    Now, if the same thing happens with Darth Maul next week, I won't go into crisis mode so quickly. :D

    I added one to my warehouse and canceled my preorder as well. Didn't want to chance a slow invoice as My SHF cap was nearing his auto ship date.

    S.H.??????? ?? ???? : ?????

    That cape = AWFUL. It's capes like these that I prefer cloth capes over plastic curtains like the one here.

    The cape looks fine to me. It looks very dynamic and it has a flowing look to it like a comic book cape. The only issue I see wit this Thor are those creepy eyes. WTF is wrong with him? It looks like he is in a starring contest and has not been blinking for 5 minutes now.

    Yeah. I can usually ignore goofy looking eyes on figures, but those eyes make him look like an alien wearing a rubber mask that vaguely resembles Chris Hemsworth.

    Figma definitely is better at sculpting human faces. Figuarts Thor looks like he's constantly wide-eyed. lol

    It depends on the figure. Bruce Lee, for example. SHF definitely won that face sculpt battle over Figma's (which looks more like Bruce Li or Fei Long than Bruce Lee).

    Oh you're right. Totally forgot about Bruce Lee. I still wonder how that happened with Figma's Bruce Lee. lol. I guess we can just hope that SHF face sculpts only get better after Thor and Bruce Lee.

    Different company, but same kind of figure, quality, joints, and scale.

    Guyver was released as part of the Figma line.

    Here's mine slashing a Kaiju from Pacific Rim - in front of Tekkamen Blade and Saber (same Figma line)

    I actually really like that. It's exactly how they did Batman and Tuxedo Mask's capes. Personally I think it's much better than how Figuarts handled Vader's cape or how Figma Thor's cape came out. Can't stand cloth goods personally though if they were to do something similar to Mezco's 1:12 cape their Batman that might work. But this cape being AWFUL? No. I don't see it.

    Hi! does anyone remember how much injustice Harley, Superman, and Batman's MSRP were (in Japan and the US)? I saw all three at Barnes & Noble over the weekend but all were at $55-$59.

    Thanks!
