It's not my favorite of his pieces, but I think it will look good with his other figures as an ensemble. I will try to get one.

the arms/legs and the back of the figure are the same. That's just Joe's style. He draws his characters like that. It's his own figure and is in line with the design of his other characters. If someone else made this then by all means it would be a rip off. And the sculpt is similar because Joe thinks up the sculpts....not the sculptor. Someone else lays it out on the computer but Joe makes a rough mock up of it first as the blueprint. And like I mentioned above, these are Joe's characters and you will see the unity in the design...which is why they all look so good together.

I'll try and take a pic of it when I'm over there. That one is the true ORIGINAL.

I have to back Jordan up on this. I always thought someone else did the sculpt, but Joe essential gave WW a final product. And in the flesh it really is something special. Joe was nice enough to show me around his studio after ComicCon and I saw a prototype of teeter too. He paints the prototypes as the factories seem to struggle to get his style from 2D layouts, so fingers crossed the quality should be good. The guy deserves a break after the issues he's had.

And once again, KR screws up a JLed release...
How long before KR figures out that its server can't handle a major toy release? KR oversells every single time there is a release of this magnitude. It's nice that KR is offering a consolation prize, but as far as I can tell, the problem still hasn't been fixed. As this release approached, a number of people suggested going the eBay route. I don't know whether or not eBay represents a solution to the overselling problem, but it's an option that should be explored.
And while I'm on the subject of KR, has anyone else heard the customer service horror stories? It sounds to me like KR is at an all-time low. And sadly, I wouldn't be surprised if things get worse before they get better.
