New ELEKTRA Premium Format (2018)

Would actually be awesome if SSC made a new sculpt of Elektra in classic garb. Even a variant of this in classic garb would be nice.

The putty arrived today.
The rear boot has a lot of tread which is ideal for filling with putty. It was possible to push the rear boot towards the base, and so far so good, no gap, no sign of putty. I'll have to see how long it lasts.

Also, i added putty around the edge of the front square peg as that was loose. I think this was adding to the slight lean. There is zero wobble now.

If the rear boot forces the putty to detach over time, then i will resort to my original plan and use Araldite which will hold anything in place

I did the exact same thing. It's been about 5 months now with no issues so far.

I also added a tiny bit of putty to the red plastic section that is held on by a magnet to the waist. The magnet is way too weak in this area.

To celebrate 27 years of being a part of the pop culture community, we’re bringing the presents to YOU with Sideshow’s Birthday Extravaganza from March 15, 2021 to March 19, 2021!

Thanks for posting that!

Gotta be honest ...I missed that part of the announcement. I must be blind.

Blog post for the Extravaganza has an error.

Edit* back up

Got excited when I read Cyclops Astonishing Version then realized it’s an action figure not a PF.

Cool they gave peeps a heads up for this as limited variants are usually surprise drops. And it’s 300 instead of 150 so more people will be able to get it vs Black DD and Psylocke.

And for anybody with both black costumes you can kinda recreate this cool artwork. Makes me wish the PF had a red belt like the art.

Not sure what to do. I have the Shadowlands DD and the red Elektra. Do I want black costumes for both, or is the contrast between black and red better?

I would like the contrast, two black costumes risks becoming one black blob in the corner of your eye.
