Got mine today. Again, no customs which is awesome.

The figure is astonishing. I just can't believe the quality and the care that has gone into these figures, especially for a non-essential (for most people) character like Alfred. Rondesmo shouldn't regret ordering this.

I love that the proper character names went on the bases. They couldn't put them on the boxes but they've done it on the stands. Really contributes to these figures from Mars feeling 'official' on the shelf together with the terrific sculpts, outfits and accessories obviously.

@DiFabio I know you said you'd have no interest in certain characters but if they were all made to this standard I doubt you would resist. I'd get Vicky - my only worry would be the hair and the challenge of female likenesses generally. I was a bit meh on Bob the goon, but again, if made to these standards I'd likely cave. I now say I probably would buy a Pat Hingle Commissioner Gordon. Especially if we ever have a bat-signal. He'd stand out well with his portlier old man build. And in terms of the broader bat-verse, Gordon is a vital character to represent even if those films didn't do much with him.

I don't think Mars will go very much deeper than they have right now - heck I'm still half thinking they'll get a cease and desist order and it could all be over. But it's fun to speculate.
Yeah Alfred is definitely “Hot Toys” quality.

I was comparing him to my Caine Armory Alfred that Hot Toys did in 2014 and, dare I say it, Mars Toys is better.

I have a paint rub on my nose, so that bugs me a bit but between the tailoring fit of the clothes, the headsculpt and all the accessories, it’s a stellar figure. Up there with Mob Joker honestly.

Mars is my new favorite company.
 
this is by far the most frustrating figure to dress

Does he keep kicking his clothes off?

Luckily, my kids have clear small hair ties that I was able to tie around the cuffs of the shirt and install the black sleeves.

Unfortunate for me, my body is flimsy in the thighs. Body feels cheaper compared to the 1,2 punch of Wayne and Napier.
 
My Alfred is in the US but it seems to be moving through the mail system pretty slowly. Hopefully it might arrive by the end of the week.

Same, mine was released from customs on the 7th and no movement since.
 
My Alfred arrived at my parents’ house from GianToy. I’ll be picking him up when I see them this weekend. :woo
 
Got mine today. Really good overall. One thing is that one of the buttons on his left sleeve cuff came off and I can’t find it. The other is loose on his cuff. So I’m going to get some fabric glue later and try to see if I can find another little button.

Edit: the other button fell off. So Alfred has no cuff buttons on his left side. :(
