[Sideshow Bob]

Another Great figure from Brian Dooley!

[Fritz]

Thank you sir! :cool:

[Buttmunch]

BTW, his lips are darker than Anakin's so you can start your complaining now if you want :lol Seriously though, he does have dark lips, but they work fine for him. I really like how his outfit is all dirty stuff. Even his undershirt is. It is a very nice touch to make him creepier.

[galactiboy]

Cool, I was wondering how his griminess would turn out... and it looks awesome! Can't wait to have him in hand!!!

BTW, if its not too much trouble could you get a closer shot of his heas... oh and drop that Unmensch figure in the mail for me. I've been looking for one of him:monkey3

[Sideshow Bob]

No Problem! I'll take some close ups tomorrow!


The Sculpted hands rock!
The face is perfect for the amount of blood and grime on the shirt.

I just got that Unmensch figure at the show! Have both sculpts.. Cool Zombie!
They're making another one with a huge Saw weapon next year some time!

Cheers!

Bob!

Getting choked by Chewy! The Highlight of SDCC! LOL!!!!

[galactiboy]

:lol :rotfl :lol Awesome picture!

Also, really cool to here they are gonna continue the Dust figures... so far it looks the Zombies are the only figures worth a darn, so nice to see another one!!!

[Sideshow Bob]

Here's some more shots!

[The ill Jedi]

Sweet pics Bob, the pic of Chewy choking you is classic! I saw him there, but unfortunately my less than brilliant friend forgot to bring extra batteries for his camera.
Since wer'e talking about him. :chew

[galactiboy]

Man that's a nice looking figure! I like how the opened eye is so bright and clean compared to the rest of his nastied face... very cool! Thanks again for the pics!

[Fritz]

Any Non-Attendees get a shipping notice for this bad boy yet?

[galactiboy]

I had to hold my account while moving, but when I reactivated it today the CS person told me they probably wouldn't bill me until next week sometime. So I guess I'll be waiting just a bit longer :monkey2

[Silverbc3]

Any Non-Attendees get a shipping notice for this bad boy yet?

Yup yup! SS shipped all my comic con orders yesterday. Hope for delivery tomorrow! :D

[William Shatners Toupee]

Still---waiting---! :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2 :monkey2

[creature4000]

I recieved my Anakin already but no news of Subject 5!!!! :confused:

[Alice Adrenochrome]

Well, I've been billed for Subject 5 and Freddy a couple of days ago, account says "shipped" too, but no shipping notice or tracking info yet.

[Migwit]

No non-attendee Subject 5 notice for me yet... :cool:

[creecher]

Stop pushing Migsta. They can only get them as they rise from the mire. Some zombies move so slowly.

[DarkArtist81]

I'm just waiting for Friday. SSC Declined my card for Freddy yesterday and I won't have money until tomorrow. I sent them an email and informed them of the situation, and they seem to be waiting to charge it. I'm just glad it was him and NOT Subject 5.

If I lose Freddy I'll be fine... I'll just hunt him down later.. But I can not stand to lose Subject 5... That would kill me... :monkey2

[galactiboy]

I think my card might actually get declined as well... for some reason my available credit is less that what it should be. I'm gonna wait and see what happens and I might have to do some quick money transfers so I don't lose him or the Vaderkin! Moving and being broke sucks :monkey2

Indeed it does... I didn't get my deposit back yet, as I had hoped... so I am in negative funds town right now.... :monkey2

[Seaward]

Sorry to hear about the money troubles! I know Sideshow will help to sort things out on their end for you, they have always been exceedingly cool in the past for me! Good luck guys!

Thanks Chris.... I know they got my email, and they've been quiet so far. I think they are waiting until tomorrow and see if I am telling the truth. At least I hope so. I trust them. They have never done me wrong and this is the only time this has happened to me.... So at least I have that on my side.

SSC CS is great though, I'm sure that it will be ok.... :cool:

[Darth Rage]

Any Non-Attendees get a shipping notice for this bad boy yet?

No ship notice yet, but it has changed to "item shipping soon." The dead T-shirts are the same, shipping soon. It would be nice if they shipped together. A little death from SDCC in a box..:cool:

[Seaward]

I have to resolve an issue about a future order, and I have been waiting to contact the customer service, as I am sure that they are still in recovery mode after San Diego. The staggered shipping of figures seems to indicate that everybody over there is working their hardest just to catch up from the con. I am sure they will be in touch as soon as they can come up for air!

[S-Ramos]

Ive got no email yet, but I do have a pending charge on my ebay account for him:D

[creecher]

You guys don't know what you have done for me. So I'll tell you. I had my money in my account, thinking no worries, everything covered. I got excited a couple of days ago and spent it all. Thanks so much for the reminders. Got to the bank in plenty of time, cause its Friday here and the banks are closed over the wekends. A follow up email from Sideshow would have been too late for me to act upon.

Thank youse. :bow :grouphug

That was a close one Creech!

[creecher]

Yes it was. It wont show up as in my account till the overnight computer update, but I should be fine. Whew.

[Migwit]

OK, Creech! :wave I'll be patient. Stand by the mire with my butterfly net in hand, waiting for the undead Dead to rise at last...! :lol

I WANT MY DEAD NOW!!! :rotfl

[stickman]

Orders will be processing very soon, maybe today, or Monday for sure. Lottie told me two days ago that she was hoping to process the orders before the weekend.

[BrianK]

I was told thesame thing. They are wanting to process but the end of the week.

[Fritz]

Got my shipping notice tonight! :rock

[DarkArtist81]

Well thanks to Lottie in SCC CS I was able to fix my card situation and my Freddy should be on the way, as well as Subject 5! WOO-HOO!

Thank God for awesome service!!:lol

[EVILFACE]

Got my shipping email today. Subject 5 will be on my porch on the 9th.

[galactiboy]

Just got my Subject 5 shipping notice... should be here in a few days! Very excited to have this guy in hand!!!

[DarthRamuk]

Ok, shameless plug here......I thought I cancelled my pre-order but apparently, it's been shipped out to me.

If anyone missed out on this, PM me. Thanks.

Still no shipping notice for me, but I did get my notice for the Dream Warriors Freddy.:rock :rock :rock

[Bonehead15]

I goy my notice from UPS yesterday. :chew

[.necromancer.]

I just got my shipping notice too... should be here in 4 days! :chew

[denger4000]

I still didnt get mine....errrr.

[galactiboy]

I guess mine will be here on Wednesday!

[Migwit]

Yippee, shipping/tracking notice!! :D

Oh yeah.....zombie will be here Friday!!!

I'm gonna start boarding up my windows..... I'm so excited! :lol

That's strange! I received my Subject 5 today, much earlier than those in the States!:D

[Bannister]

Just got my shipping notice on Subject 5.:chew

[dr2red]

Just received my fedex notice today
Probably be here by friday or sat.

[galactiboy]

Should be here tomorrow...

**fingers crossed**

[galactiboy]

Still waiting on him arriving today... I wish shippers could give you an estimated time of arrival, it sucks waiting around for a package. But the nearest UPS station for pick-up is like an hour away and I don't want to miss it and have to hassle with that mess!

[creecher]

Fantastic people. I sit here reading that everyone is getting theirs, and my turn has finally come, along with the tShirts. I will have to wait, but it's good to know I wasn't forgotten and they are on their way. :woo :blissy

[galactiboy]

Still waiting on the UPS truck... :monkey2

[Migwit]

Mine's here!! Haven't opened it yet, but it was waiting for me when I got home. Now my Patient Zero has a little friend he can chase around and eat. :lol

[galactiboy]

Got mine too!!! Man this is one badass figure and I love the packaging. Interesting that he lacks wrist articulation... I don't have the patient Zero (yet) so I'm not sure if thats the same. Probably the most impressive is the distressing of his outfit, it looks excellent! And it appears that his flashlight is diecast... a nice touch! Here's some quickly taken photos (forgive the quality) for those still waiting.

I ended up popping mine out backwards and luckily didn't scratch the paint. But I guess it wouldn't have been a big deal since he's all nastied up :lol

[Sith Lord 0498]

Awesome figure!! Man, now I'm wishing I'd ordered one!!! Although, there'd still be the matter of actually paying for it... :)

[Zombiphobia]

Too Cool!!!!

[pixletwin]

I'm really wishing that I started collecting the zombies from year zero.... :monkey2

[stickman]

Awesome pics guys! Mine arrives tomorrow. I can't wait. This is one very cool figure! :monkey1

[Buffanatic]

Mine arrived today, along with Freddie dream warrior. They're in the house, but I haven't had time to sit down and really examine them. I'll do that later. I'm just having a good time reading everyone else's posts, and looking at the photos! Packaging on Subject #5 is cool, I agree, but I really wish that all of Sideshow's new figures came in that truly terrific wrap-around magnetic box that the SW figures come in! Now THAT is PACKAGING!!!

[DarkArtist81]

Awesome!! I can't wait to have mine! I'm still kicking myself for selling Zero... he was soooo awesome...:monkey2

Oh and to answer your question GB, Zero DID have wrist articulation.. but normal Sideshow hands, looked like the same mold as the Bonds. Just with bloody fingers.

I love that they made special hands for this one, really adds a level of depth to the figure. :cool:

[galactiboy]

Good to know... yeah the hands on this one are similar to what they did with Jason 3, but they are really gnarled and boney looking! I'm really happy with the figure and a bit sad I was unaware of Patient Zero when he first went on sale... oh well, should be getting some student loans here at the end of the month, I think I know where some of that money is going :monkey3

[creature4000]

Yeah.. I missed zero as well... still thinking if I want to sell a kiddney or something. Anyway... just checked the status... and he's out for Delivery... So my collection will be infected with "The Dead" :D :D :D I'm going to pee my pants!!!

[Darth Kustomizer]

Mine arrived yesterday! I have not had time to crack him open but he looks pretty sweet in the box.

[creature4000]

Subject 5 DELIVERED!!!! I hope he doesn't eat the neighbors!!

soory for the excitment... he's my first Dead figure!!! :chew

[creecher]

Thanks for the pictures galactiboy and Evilface. The head on your Gaurd looks totally rancid Evilface. Better than I could have hoped. It's only a matter of time till the infection spreads across continents to this side of the world.

The rest of his body looks almost 'normal' might have to get mine a tshirt. They should have supplied 1/6th ones with orders of the full size tee's

[galactiboy]

Yeah, the little bit of chest showing is a bit weak... but overall not bad. But the gruesomeness of the face is excellent... there's even a nastly looking chew mark on his neck. Surprising they can pull off a complicated paint app like this, but drop the ball on Anakin?!?

[.necromancer.]

YEEEESSSS... Thank You SS for puting a plastic bag over the box! My subject 5 was getting soaked.. but only the shipping box got wet.. the Dead Box was perfectly safe inside!!!! Thanks again!:chew

[stickman]

Sweet, my Subject Five arrived today. Unfortunately no DEAD Tee-shirt :confused:

Great looking figure. I'm afraid to take him out. I want to display him with Jason 7.:D

[DarkArtist81]

Mine should be here tomorrow, I can't wait!! I also plan on using those two Art Bucks that Dusty gave me to make a set of gruesome zombies!! I'm gonna due some minor sculpting and gouging to get the effect I want, buy some 1:6th scale clothing and demolish it! It's gonna be sweeeeeet!

[TOE]

pics anyone? :confused: just want to see pics from different people.

[DarkArtist81]

I'll have mine tomorrow.... expect many pics!!!:D

[denger4000]

Got mine a mere seconds ago, no camera though, sorry.

[stickman]

What do you think Denger? I think this figure looks super awesome, trouble is I want to take him out of the box, but can't find myself doing it. Same with my sith Anakin and Dream - Freddy. I want to open them, but just can't. Some one convince me.:D

[galactiboy]

Open it you damn dirty ape!!! Just think of the cool shots you can get of Subject 5 squaring off against your Ape army!!! You know you want to... give in... open the figures :monkey5 :monkey5

Oh, and **** yeah the figure is awesome looking!

I will put some pics up tomorrow with Zero.

So happy he is finally here!!!

LOL I cant wait to get my camera back up and running. I've been waiting a long time to take some pics. :monkey2


Folsom, great photos!

[bluesparrow]

I got mine today, he's amazing! Far better than any of the pics let on. I'll try and post some of my own later tonight.

Might be my favorite Sideshow figure so far.

I will put some pics up tomorrow with Zero.

So happy he is finally here!!!

congratz. i know how hard this figure is to come by.

Excellent shot!!! Very creepy and threatening... :eek

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks SL!! I wanted to do some Black and White shots with extreme angles... I seriously need a tripod so that my shots don't blur as much. I can't tell you how many cool ideas I had that were logistically impossible with my setup. :monkey4

I'm just happy that the shot above came out nice, it was a gamble that paid off....

I'll probably take more later today....:D

I hear you on the tripod! That's the only way I can get good shots of my SSC Star Wars figures. Without the tripod, all my non-flash shots came out extremely blurry. I ended up buying a tripod at Wal-Mart for $17.00, and it works great.

Still, blurry works for this figure. It looks as though the photographer was trying to run away or shaking in fear. And you didn't have to mess around in Photoshop to get that effect either.

Funny thing is...I just did something along those lines an hour ago with an old pic I took of my McFarlane MM7 Leatherface, but I had to add in the blur.

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b82/SithLord0498/HPIM1493.jpg

[DarkArtist81]

NICE SHOT!!!

Holy crap that's creepy! I love it!!!

[Sith Lord 0498]

NICE SHOT!!!

Holy crap that's creepy! I love it!!!


Thanks, Josh! It's supposed to be a crime scene/newspaper photo that's very old. If you look close enough, I put faint traces of blood splattering on the pic. You can see it clearest on the apron.

Now I'm really wishing I'd ordered a Subject 5 figure. I'm not a zombie guy, but that figure is really cool!! I only hope SSC finally makes this an official line with regular release.

[kain4521]

I really regret canceling subject 5 but my wife put her foot down and said either freddy or the guard. Zero looks lonely without the other dead figure.:monkey2

[galactiboy]

Definitely invest in a cheap wal-mart tripod. I have one and it makes a big difference when trying for low-light or natural lighting.

kain, I hate for the Zero figure to be lonely, just send him my way and I'll let him live with my Subject five... heck I'll even cover the cost of shipping :D

[DarthRamuk]

Sigh......the pics look awesome! Makes me want to take out my Dream Warrior Freddy and Subject 5 and pose them, rather than to sell them.........

:monkey2

[screamingmetal]

Since my post in the SDCC Freddy thread, I have taken Subject 5 out of his cardboard and plastic prison.
The head sculpt and costuming are excellent. The bite mark on the back of his neck looks great but unless you turn his head down and to the side you don't really see it.
The costume has nice details but it's biggest flaw is the bloody paint they used on the fabric. It needs more variation in tone to look like real blood. Hands look great and are quite expressive even if you can only turn them.
The paint is both good and bad. In some areas, there are subtle effects that really stand out, in others there needs to be a bit more color to really bring out the sculpt on the head and hands. My favorite paint detail is the red used on what appear to be pustules on his face.

The accessories are really lacking. On Patient Zero, he came with a snack and a newspaper that was printed on both sides. Although I would've liked even more accessories, the ones he came with looked great. Subject five's accessories are his keys and real metal key chain, walkie talkie, watch, metal flash light, and a magazine. The key chain is well done and the walkie talkie is alright although I think it's reuse.
The magazine is quite poor. No printing inside and no pages on the inside, Dragon has made magazines in 1/6 far more detailed then this. I have to ask why even include it?
The flashlight doesn't need to be made out of metal. I get the feeling that Sideshow made it out of metal to make us feel like we got more then we really did. if SSC made the flashlight plastic and included a new snack it would've gone a lot farther then a partial magazine and metal flashlight.
Subject Five has more accessories but they're less satisfying then Patient Zero's snack and newspaper.

If you had to make a choice between the two and you got Freddy instead, then I think you made the right decision. I'm far more satisfied with Freddy then Subject 5.
I'm not saying Sub. 5 is a terrible figure or that I'm completely disappointed, he's quite good but Freddy beats him hands down in value and satisfaction.
And this is coming from a guy who loves Zombie movies more then the Nightmare on Elm Street movies! :confused:

[DarkArtist81]

Ok, I got my Subject 5 last week and was a little underwhelmed by the tamed down production paint apps. So... I did a little altering and got him back to his original gory and burnt state. I hope you all enjoy!

First here is a shot with the flash to show the paint for what it is...

http://photo-origin.tickle.com/image/137/6/4/O/137641107O561571438.jpg

Like I already said in your thread, this make him look much better IMO!!!:rock

[DarkArtist81]

Thanks King! I just really wanted him to look a little more like a zombie should. I remember seeing those prototype pics and thinking how gross and wet his burn looked. I just wanted to bring that back with my figure. :D

Glad to see it worked.

[Natrix]

I like Luke gagging and covering his mouth in the background. :lol

[DarkArtist81]

:lol :lol Yeah, I thought that would be kinda funny... the Luke "spectator" in the background has kinda become a calling card of mine.

The flashlight doesn't need to be made out of metal. I get the feeling that Sideshow made it out of metal to make us feel like we got more then we really did. if SSC made the flashlight plastic and included a new snack it would've gone a lot farther then a partial magazine and metal flashlight.
Subject Five has more accessories but they're less satisfying then Patient Zero's snack and newspaper.

If you had to make a choice between the two and you got Freddy instead, then I think you made the right decision. I'm far more satisfied with Freddy then Subject 5.
I'm not saying Sub. 5 is a terrible figure or that I'm completely disappointed, he's quite good but Freddy beats him hands down in value and satisfaction.
And this is coming from a guy who loves Zombie movies more then the Nightmare on Elm Street movies! :confused:

thanks for the review, specially the accesory bit. :devil I'm definitely going to keep mine. ..

....this for customizers....i agree with ScreamingMetal about the blood on his clothes. What can you recommend using to apply on the clothing to look more bloody and i guess "real" :rolleyes: ?

What I tried to do was drybrush a little black and blackened red onto the spot and edges to get a more realistic effect. I also drybrushed that onto several other areas as well as the fingers.... to look as if he's been digging around a victims chest cavity....:lol

:lol :lol Yeah, I thought that would be kinda funny... the Luke "spectator" in the background has kinda become a calling card of mine.


Subject 5 doesn't stand a chance against Luke. But Luke's "surprise" headsculpt made the scene pretty funny:rotfl .

Awesome repaint Darkartist!!!
