NEW PRODUCT: SOOSOOTOYS SST024 Blind Vigilante 1/6 Action Figure

I thought it sold out pretty quickly as well. I do see soosootoys announcing limited runs now as well, like the Gambit recently announced is limited quantities as well (600 i think it was?)

He isn't? I expected him to be sold out, because he was sold out on Giantoy pretty quick during the PO phase.

I actually expected a few photos from you, judging by your avatar!
Maybe I need to deliver them after all, especially if he is still available, meaning the photos would actually be of use to those on the fence.

haha I'm actually still waiting for him! It should be arriving in about a week or so. I'll try to post a few photos for everyone here once it shows up.
I was going to buy one from ebay originally, but since my go-to site is Giantoy (where all my glorious reward points are! lol), I emailed them just to see if they had any in stock.
It wasn't listed anywhere on the site anymore, but they emailed me back and told me they still had a limited few copies. I ended up paying $160 CAD/$126 USD for it.
Funny thing is, even though I love the Netflix series, I wasn't interested in the figure all that much at first. But then I made the mistake of watching a youtube clip of Matt
wearing the suit while beating the snot out of Fisk/Kingpin at the end of season 3, and I knew I needed to get it after all.
To me, DD is basically like the Marvel version of Batman. lol

Yes, definitely in terms of mood. I've heard that comparison a lot. Daredevil is what got me into comics and ultimately action figures as well. I even had a website back in 2004 dedicated to Maleev's art, cause he didn't have a website at the time. I stopped reading though shortly after Bendis and Maleev ended their run. LOVE the Netflix show. Curious to find out what Disney will do with the title. I have high hopes it'll be even better. WandaVision is killing it right now. Ooh!! I should have a new episide to watch!!

Well this guy finally showed up today! Super happy with this figure.  
Not the best photography skills, but you gotta make do with the gear you have (in my case a crap phone camera).

YESSS!!!! Thank you!! Awesome!

Ok, now I gotta try the green screen thing. He deserves it. And I already have the photo box for it. No excuses.

The pictures are quite good.

I like your photos, glitch; I think you’re selling yourself short.

He does look great, glitch, and so do your photos. Glad you're happy.

Really nice photos, show off the figure well!

Thanks everyone!
I'm like a child with this figure, can't stop setting him up doing cool ninja poses! Lol

Hmm...maybe an epic battle scene featuring Vader is something to consider?

Oh btw Diana, it actually isn't a green screen. It's a little tip I learned from another collector/figure photographer.
You just set the figure up in front of a pc/tv monitor (more non-reflective = better) and adjust the background to whatever you need.
I imagine a green screen would make for even better, more realistic looking photo's though. I'll have to try that myself some day!

Ah! Nice one! For close-ups that would work really well! I do have a good monitor. But I really enjoy full body shots and that is where that strategy falls through. And I really do already have a green box set up, so I'd like to use it.

Now to find a good street pic where the perspective will look right... I can imagine myself losing interest during that process.

PS: Ooh! Found one!
