I miss watching heavy handed Susan present Out of the Box videos.
I think for unboxings they either:

1. Put together extra parts sent to them from the factory (possibly the parts that go in their swap inventory?) Or
2. They get a box from the factory that’s marked and purposed for unboxing’s so that way they always know it’s a presentable piece. Or
3. If they really are opening boxes from sellable inventory to do these videos, they swap out any bad parts ahead of video recording.

I do believe them that they present factory pieces but I don’t see how these could be blind unboxings. They’d risk pulling out a bad part on video, and showing that would hurt sales. We don’t see them remove tape from the styrofoam, removing wrapping paper or plastic baggies from parts. They ain’t lucky.

SS had to make up for the non-art box for Juggy so they went balls out on Domino's. When I first started the vid it took me a second to realize that was the box I thought it might be a new poster or something they made for in-house vid use!

Sideshow - Domino PF Art Box

Thought i'd post this for those that want to gorp.
They could have gone the extra mile and added silver reflective elements on the metal parts (including the coins)
even if it meant using some of the budget from the Juggernaut piece

This looks really good, can't wait to get it. Considering where I live, how can't I have this in the collection?

How many people on the fence will be tipped over once they’ve seen the box? Lol.

In the Juggernaut thread people talked about nobody really displays boxes...this box really does make a nice prop or companion though.

She sucked as Domino, and I'm glad the statue went with the comic book version.
Well said!

Wow. She's a stunner. Enough that I might even pick her up, as much as I'm trying to avoid buying anything Marvel.
