Just received this item, I purchased it from DollTV and here is the following review on the collectible and the seller. The seller was great and sent this to me in a timely manner and it was new as the description stated. However,and unfortunately, the box that housed the collectible had been compromised and it seems that the seller did not take care of this particular package or perhaps their inventory. The box had damage on all four corners and the top lid had an indention which suggest something heavy had been placed on it for a long time. Needless to say, too bad and unacceptable for an item that is considered a collectible and not a toy! Now on to the review of the figure.

The figure has a nice head and very detailed with that being sad, the body and costume could have been better. The puffy costume makes the figure very difficult to pose and the puffy suit is padded way too much, makes the figure look bloated instead of furry. Compared to the actual Twilight Zone character the face is dead on but the suit could have had a furry feel to it rather than a puffy feel to it. This is a Sideshow Collectible figure and if they would have stayed closer to the model on their website photo the figure would have been perfect! Instead, they changed the color on actual production to a darker green and made his suit texture not look like the picture on their website.

In conclusion: I still like the collectible although I really would have liked it to be just like the Sideshow Collectible's picture on their web. I love The Twilight Zone show and overall I am glad to have gotten this collectible even with its weak points. I do recommend this purchase for those that enjoy the show, and the price, at least for now, is still acceptable at less than $60.00. I wish that Sideshow would once again produce more characters based on this license but there is another company already doing that now and, in my opinion, cannot provide the same level of detail that Sideshow typically can produce. They may have dropped the ball slightly on this figure in production, though. Had they stayed with the look of their protype on their web's photo, the figure would have been a perfect 10! I give this one a 7 out of 10, very good but not great.
