On another note. I was wondering today if Wild Weasel would come with the ability to see his face/head. I’m not sure if it would be a removable helmet or second head sculpt. They might just include 1 head and leave it a mystery.

Just got Jinx through Pulse.

In my opinion, the second best female figure in the line. Retro Scarlett retains the top spot but I'm really enjoying this figure. Now I gotta find a spot for her amongst the lineup.

That's crazy, brother.
I've been tempted to pop the tape on some of those Amazon purchases just to peek, but most have been preorders that I was hoping were true. Fingers crossed.

I bought a 3 3/4 2-pack with Ace and Wild Weasel back in the Toys R Us days.
Wild Weasel, one of my faves, has a removeable visor. Can't take the helmet off- but can remove the black-tinted visor to see his eyes. That was pretty cool.

Copy, thank you!

In my experience, I sometimes get that "shipping soon" notice up to five days before I get billed. Then when I get billed and I get the FedEx shipping notification, the order arrives the next day.

Yeah. I completely understand the whole concept of MiB as I used to be one, but I can't imagine anybody being upset with those who wanted to verify that what they bought was in the box (even if it's just to ensure all the accessories are there - you can even hold the sealed accessory bags up to a light without opening to verify). At worst, during resale, it's providing a service to the customer. I always opened and inspected my Sideshow/HotToys/Medicom stuff to ensure they were complete and free of any QC issues. I also always stipulated doing so in the descriptions though, so the buyer was never mislead. It never affected their resale value.

WW always had that Boba Fett mystique about him as a kid for me. Could be anyone underneath. Seeing stuff that he suffered facial damage made me even more intrigued.

He's one of the few characters I always felt didn't need to show his face. He's a mystery. And now he sits next to his other famous fiction red wearing ace Char Aznable in a booth in the cardboard Star Wars Cantina, probably swapping stories (hopefully not about escapades with underage girls!)
