Good luck to those that reserved the same month i did and january too, hope yours convert like mines, but as it states on my email it could be a mistake sometimes so we'll see what happens.

i just got a mail that my waitlist is to be converted too. I also got on the waitlist only recently.

Is the scepter moveable, i.e. able to slide back and forth in his grip? The one pic were he's holding the scepter by the end looks funny.

The scepter picture bugged me too. But rest assure, it is moveable. You can rotate and slide the scepter to pose it to your liking.

i jumped on the waitlist mid december and just got the order confirmation email from sideshow

also watched an unboxing video on youtube and the hooded portrait looks much better than in that picture a couple of posts ago

I'm going to put the Baroness on a pedestal so I can see her backside reflected off that helmet.

Woke up, and my tracking switched to the 13th delivery, even though the package made it to my local facility! WTF! I was looking forward to cracking this open today. Is there some kind of holiday I don't know about tommorow?

This better change back, and get here today!

Yay, my mail away is on the truck for delivery!

FedEx sure does like to ____ with me...

I hear you but mine is scheduled for Friday as well and I think its kind of badass that the Commander will arrive on Friday the 13th. Seems fitting since he started with a sack over his head before switching to a hard mask (in the comics, I know for the figures it was the other way around.)

 

[furystorm]

Never thought of that before.

Pics!

Okay, it's not often that I go out of my way to take crappy iPhone pics and post them here. But in this case, I make a huge exception, because the arrival of the Cobra Commander PF has been awesome. I always open Sideshow items lately with some trepidation. Like, what could they have screwed up this time. But for me, this time, the piece is perfection. I never intended to display him with the chrome dome, until the actual chromed images started appearing. Now I am torn. I am still a hooded favoring guy, but from time to time the chromed helmet will definitely be making an appearance.

So many options for display too:
1. Hooded versus helmeted.
2. Scepter versus rapier.
3. Cloaked versus uncloaked.

So many options!

Without further exposition:











And this last image quells my fears for what I thought the final sigl would look like. It was a disaster at SDCC, but here it just looks amazing. Every part of this piece rocks. Okay! Glad I kept him! Seriously.

Damn fine pics fury! Great futzing on the cape. That is one buff Commander, he must work out.

 

[furystorm]

Funny you mention the cape Khev, because I'm not a futzer and thought it would be a nightmare. In reality, I just threw it on him. Seriously. It wanted to wrap around the front of the legs, and I thought that didn't look good so just flipped the lower portions behind his legs. Really simple. But the whole time I thought this would be a futzer's dream piece.

I only made sure the cobra insignia were aligned to my liking.

 

[Elendil]

Awesome pics furystorm! Pissed I missed this one Hopefully I will be able to get him eventually!

 

[furystorm]

This figure is the ultimate "mail away" ever!

I've been staring at him for the past hour...
