Der K is here to stay!

So the package that I thought was Doggets (5-7 days out) was Der Kindestod and a free Mr. Burns bust!

So Der Kindestod - No roto head! Yea! It's perfectly proportioned and hella-creepy. The hair is glued into a slit cut into the back of the head. It does tend to fall out a lot. The tailoring is top notch - the suit is similar to the Gentlemen, but this fits so much better.

The eyestalks fit well - took me a bit to figure which eye and which side, but it's obvious when you get them in as they fit very well.

The book is kind of cool - but the pages and front are decals. Mine were misaligned but peeled off easily enough so I could realign them.

The hat is a harder plastic than it should be, it's sized properly but doesn't grip the head well and keeps falling off.

Of course the biggest problem - twisty under the shoulders and clothes! There is no reason for this! It's truly annoying as hell!

But these things are minor problems considering this is an extremely cool looking Buffy monster. The hands are even some of the best I've seen on a monster. Kudos to Dooley for the sculpt!

Der Kinderstod.

Nuff said.

Can't wait to get mine, its on the way. Any chance of seeing a couple pics Dave?

Twisty of Doom....all my Hellboy line figures had that nightmare piece, including N. Kroenen...uughh had to strip him down to get it off...

Not to dwell on it but....
Why are the twisties so damned inconvenient?? I could see, maybe, if these items were going to be on the shelves of KB or Toys R Us but, thats not the case. Stealing a figure from the figures box is not the major concern/problem it used to be. A twisty around the neck would be sufficient. We don't need to have it go in one side, under the arm, around the back, twist 3 times, back up the arm, around the other shoulder, twist 5 times, go thru the plastic packaging, twist 2 more times, thru the cardboard and be secured. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Funny, I got the pre-shipping notices for Der Kindestod but no shipping notice. Hmmm. I guess they haven't shipped them all yet.

I just mine and I also got a FREE Mr. Burns Bust I haven't opened Child Death, but I did open Mr. Burns and he is great. I am a huge Simpsons fan and Mr. Burns is one of my favortie characters. Sideshow couldn't have chosen a better free Simpsons bust to give me. This is my first gift from sideshow. Sideshow is without a doubt my favorite company again. Their customer service is uncomparable.

I wonder if they knew my birthday was only a week ago

Der Kinderstod looks great too. To think I almost cancelled my order due to the Doggets and SDCC exclusives coming

I've got the same situation Fritz.
Maybe Sideshow is shipping out Special Der K.s with the Simpsons bust because some people are more special then others? :rolleyes
I hope I get a free bust. :\

Those under the arm twisties are evil. :curse

:skull

I hate those underarm twisties. The figure always looks better just before I go ahead and remove the clothes enough to remove the twisty. After reassembly, they never look as good as before.
And cutting the twisty doesn't do any good because the extra twists behind the back are difficult to get to with out removing the clothes.
