Sideshow changed the jacket material because the "shiny" material will eventually crack...bad move cancelling your order,because the jacket looks much better and will last

I'm glad I didn't get this one.

God that's ugly. The helmet looks like some sort of lame cardboard mock-up a fan would take to SDCC, and the uniform looks like a sack of spuds has been dyed red.

They look great. I can't wait to open my exclusive up. I'm hoping Sideshow has these available for Gift Card purchase before year's end.

One more day until mine arrives...
Yeah, the Siegie has not been the most photo friendly figure. I'm just glad they got rid of the Thriller jacket.

It might not have the shine of the "Thriller jacket" anymore, but a more appropriate name for it would be the "Rocketeer jacket!"
This jacket matches the Rocketeer design down to the last stitch. It's clear Sideshow cut costs/corners and used the pattern from their 1/4 scale Rocketeer figure. While it immediately looks the part, the devil is in the details. The bib in front should have the silver trim around the edges and then continue all the way down past the belt line - (BTW where are the double belts?!) - into the - ahem - crotch. I also don't care for the dumbed down sleeve patch that have plagued CG's since the Palisades statue was made. There should be leaf clusters inside the triangle. The wrist bars are mutated into the single Rocketeer buckle strap. Don't like the special forces combat gloves either. They are out of place on this figure. It's NOT a combat uniform. They should have plain, black leather gloves. I still bought one, but I wish these things were more correct. |
