Product for distribution in NA is currently on a boat and hasn't arrived to California yet. Few more weeks for us I guess.

first in hand photo check list:
- flash
- no mixed media adjustment
- poor angle to make it look small
- extra credit: parts not assembled correctly / all the way

count on it

LOL! It's funny because it's so true. You can't shoot a mixed media piece straight out of the box without adjustment. I remember when the Joker PF came out and his suit was wrinkled to ----. People were losing their minds. ROFl. Invest in a clothing steamer.

Definitely you lucky bastards. That's the messed up thing though. Should you guys really be paying that much shipping from China? Something doesn't add up.
