Still waiting for my order's status to be updated. Is there any new news regarding the line?

I'm ok with the cuts on the body, though I wish there was a better way to do those arms. Unfortunately that is the nature of action figures. They could have done a soft material with an articulated skeleton, but it also would have made the figure far more expensive. Once the figure is posed it will be less noticeable though.

I really hope this starts shipping soon. The release date says Q3 so hopefully it's early Q3 and i hope the final Oscar figure is shown soon as well.

I think I prefer Palisades' version, sacrificing articulation for a better look (they also had a better head sculpt too).

Some of the torso and neck cuts seem pretty unnecessary, like how often do we see Big Bird twisting at the waist? And the two neck cuts close together is certainly a choice; seems like one would've sufficed.

Enough criticism from me though. Still a solid figure; just wish he didn't look like a Transformer.
