I'm quite sure I saw some in the other forum somewhere.

Anyone who ordered get a shipping update? Arriving early?

I ordered and haven't received anything yet. The original timeframe was October-December 2018. Um...I guess October is out.

I'm waiting for some in hand photos to pull the trigger. I almost got Green Lantern but didnt trust the construct part of the base.

Pushed from Jan/Feb to Feb/Mar. Ugh.

I hope the delay is not related to issues with the statue!(e.g.engineering / peg key not strong enough)

Actually if it were delayed for that, I partially think that would be a good thing. Better to find out there’s a structural problem now before production is completed, rather than when they start leaning and/or toppling over in our collections.

Same here. I can wait for this piece.

Agreed

Just wished Sideshow spent more time on the Sinestro Premium Format before its release. Starting to see a lean for that statue.

I can wait too. Heck, I ordered this thing in October 2017 so I've already waited 15 months. What's a couple more?

Sideshow site now calculates the shiping cost for this statue. A sign that arrival is close???

Mine has shipped. Scheduled to get this on Wednesday, March 6! The long wait (18 months since I ordered) is almost over!

sorry mispost

Received mine. Overall, I really like it. Everything is top notch except for a little bit of gold paint on some of the yellow areas and (more frustrating) the yellow lightening bolts not fitting/sitting flush.

Statue has good presence and it is surprisingly compact.

Here are some pics taken with an iPhone.

This was my first Prime 1 statue and I was expecting perfection (based on other reviews of other statues). Unfortunately, it is not perfect but it is still a quality statue.

I don't know why the QC is so bad, especially with the fitting of the yellow pieces

I'm curious about his size. Does he seem smaller in that photo with Batman and GL? The head seems smaller but it could be the angle. Are the bolts similar material to the Venom symbiotes, maybe try heating them up a bit to see if that will help them fit. Looks good!

He does seem a little smaller (although I've heard the Batman is oversized). Good news - the lightening bolt (which is like a plastic material) is now sitting flush. I guess it just needed to warm up. Love the presence of this statue. The red paint instantly pops when you see him!

Cool, glad it worked out. That seems to be the trick with the plastic material parts from Prime 1 (Spidey 2099, Venom, GL), heat it up a bit and it'll key in and set easier. The Batman is a bit larger but just looking at the heads, Flash does look smaller than the GL even unless they scaled him a bit bigger too to match the Batman. I was hoping to see what Sideshow would bring to the table before I pulled the trigger but that wait is taking forever and this looks like a nice one. Would've been cool if the EX had the red mask white eyes look too
