Threezero already closed their pre-order from Raph and Donnie. Unless you meant SideShow which I haven't been checking.

Good news!
According to Threezero's latest shipping update,
Leonardo and Michelangelo will begin to ship out sometime next week.
Keep in mind Chinese New Year is also a week away. That would be even if they figures are ready to ship, there would only be a small batch being released and the majority will be shipped out either the end of February or early March. Either way, happy for progress.

Mine has already shipped. Can't wait to finally get these.

I received a shipping notice as well.

Look forward to seeing people's pics. Kinda wish one had been within my budget.

I find it hard to believe but I received shipping notice Sunday night and it says it left China Feb 1 and arrived to Canada Feb 2. Lol
Last time Robocop1.0 took a month to arrive. It's too good to be true.
If it is true, that would be the fastest shipping I've ever experienced.

Will let you guys know if Leo and Mike did indeed arrive tomorrow.

Good, bring on the review!

From the pics I've seen so far these look really well done.

And they're here...

Aboslutely loving Leo. Haven't really played with Mikey much. I'm warming up to the 2015 designs. They make really cool figures with the extra details.

Sorry, it's taken a while to find the time to process all of the photos and get the review posted. But here it is.

for the TLDR version: they are very nice looking, fairly impressive. But while I can see why they cost so much, they aren't going to knock your socks off the way a $200 figure should.

The rubber arms looks very concerning, how are the material? Do the arms pose well and keep the pose?

Hot Toys Arkham Batman almost can't pose due to the rubber suit kicking back the joints.

Arkham Batman, like the 89 version have the limited articulation, but still hold mean poses.
HT Hulk is of similar construction but uses ratchet joints like the Returns Bats, so they have slightly more sustainability of pose.
I prefer the rubber to visual joints.

Looking forward to picking my set up - If only I want so busy ... Grrrrr

The material is thick enough so that it shouldn't degrade to easily. But other than the rubber bunching up when the elbow is bent, it doesn't seem to cause issues. And the elbow joints are strong enough to stay in place even with the rubber bunched up.

My turtles came 2 weeks ago too, still in their boxes.

Nice review, thanks for sharing!
I only ordered Donnie from this line, looking forward to him!
