Is that what it is; I was wondering. Sucks about the "batch" shipments necessitated by the port issues as mine usually come straight up the west coast. I was to have had mine yesterday but it looks like it will be this weekend or early next week which is cool I guess.

The more I look at the final statue, the one thing I find odd is the hair. It looks like Sideshow took the sculpted hair from the sculptor and lifted it up and rotated forward. You can the spot where the is supposed to go around the spear but some reason they lifted the hair away from the body. It make the hair stand up too tall . And the part instead of just going from front to back, it goes up. Not sure why the change before production. The hair would have looked better the way the sculpt originally intended it to sit.

Mine arrived at work today. I am very excited and nervous about opening it. I finish work at midnight so I can't wait to get it home and assemble it.

That's what it is if you live in an affected area, and I guess by extension if your package stops in an area that's affected while on its way to you. Here's the email I got from UPS:

There was a lot of snow here, I don't know anybody who had to go to work. I suppose work at homes and snow truck drivers were among the few. I wouldn't doubt a few convenience stores and gas stations were open but everything else closed so it's no wonder deliveries stopped. On one hand it sucks to wait extra but on the other hand people have to be safe. I'd rather wait than have people in the snow knee deep and higher.

Mine arrived yesterday...and I was relieved that there were no issues. I opened the box with the idea that I was going to find something wrong with this PF.
Then it dawned on me...isn't it a shame that the arrival of a new SS PF is accompanied by an attitude of "what I am going to find wrong with this piece"? It's a shame that when purchasing a SS product you spend a portion of your time desperately hoping that you receive an "acceptable" product.

I have this feeling on any statue I receive (not just SS).
