Totally agree! This sculpt looks like he's taking a dump.? I'll pass on this fig.

Yeah, I'm on the fence. Ordered it but after I looked more closely at the reference/source artwork McFarlane has on the package, I'm having second thoughts.
I thought they'd turned a corner when we saw the Dwayne Johnson "Black Adam" figs, in terms of both facial likenesses and body proportions, but that must have been the exception and not the rule, because a lot of their figs could be used as the basis from which to claim that McFarlane has some secret agreement where they are required to not allow their figs to look too much like the source material on which they are supposedly based.

I agree about the shipping, and worse yet they started charging upfront for pre-orders a while back. I try to now only order from McFarlane for the bundle deals that usually offset the shipping cost. I always use the MTS10 coupon code when I do order from them for 10% off. I was going to order a crap ton of sale stuff from them last month, the order in the card totaled a few hundred dollars but then the shipping came up to be like another $125 or something so I just removed everything from my cart and said forget about it. Not worth it. If I'm spending hundreds in one purchase and you can't cover my shipping or at least make it a reasonable charge then I don't need to buy from you.
I did order this Catman from them, though since it's an exclusive. It cost me $32 and change after shipping and taxes (and I had to pay for it a month in advance), but if it's the only way to get it....
I have a couple of the Mattel version of this character and have always loved it.
