    1. Fisto – I was curious to see just what shade of purple his boots were. My Prince Adam has very floppy ankles. I could tell by the photos that Fisto’s boots didn’t look anything like Adams’ shade of purple. But if the purple was similar to Faker’s purple, then I would have slapped the Fisto boots along with a Faker loin cloth to match onto Prince Adam. Unfortunately, Fistos’ boots aren’t anywhere close to Prince Adam’s or Faker’s shade of purple.
    2. Sorceress – I had to check out those ankles to make sure they were tight. Ankles are always my biggest point of concern.
    3. Shadow Weaver – Because she was the last one left to open from that shipment.
    4. Fearless Photog – Opened him last because he arrived a day after the other 3 arrived.

    I will open Photog first since he's already arrived and I'm super-excited about him.

    When the others arrive (by Monday)-I plan on opening them as follows:
    1-The Sorceress (one of my favorite characters ever!)
    2-Shadow Weaver (not as excited, but still awesome!)
    3-Fisto (finishing with the big gun!)

    First, I'll probably ogle the map for an hour or so! I need to go get a frame...

    Of course, this could change.
    Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti

    1. Photog - and I can't really explain why. He arrived a full week earlier than the rest of them and I waited. When I had them all together I realized that he was always going to be my choice to open first. There's something about opening a brand new in hand figure that still appeals to me. Fisto and and Sorceress are AWEOME and Shadow Weaver is beyond cool, but Photog seemed newer to me.

    2. Sorceress - I already knew that Fisto was going to be perfect from photos I had seen, but I wanted to see the Sorceress' wings and how they worked. At this point I couldn't decide if I was going to keep SW MOC or not

    3. Fisto! - awesome all around

    4. SW - yes, I opened her and sooo glad I did - although her left hand has some seriously bad fingernail paint going on. Gloppy isn't even close to what's going on with that hand. Still awesome though.

    1) Photog - He arrived a day before the others. Great figure that surprised me when I got it in hand. I like him a lot more now. I'm a professional photographer so I realized that I actually can't hate on him too much. He has a small crack on his lens but it's really small. If that crack was on my D700s I would be freaking out! It is smaller than some cracks I have seen in people's pictures though so I'll just let it go. 7 out of 10 in my personal ratings.

    2) Fisto - Not sure why. Perhaps it's because he was the fighter out of the three that arrived. I also loved Fisto as a kid so I decided to open him first out of my second batch. I think he is a 9 out of 10. The flesh colored upper torso and exposed back being seen through the armor is the only part that he loses a point. Other than that he is pure awesome!

    3) Sorceress - I also like her a lot more in person but the large articulation knobs near the shoulders still annoys me. Mine had a blue paint splotch on one of the wings. I was able to scrape it off carefully. Thankfully the wings are an orange base color. Still annoying. I also love her staff and the new Zoar she comes with. I opened her after Fisto because i wanted to savor opening Shadow Weaver. I give her a 7 out of 10. Could have been a 10 with a different facial expression, better wings and in my case better quality control.

    4) Shadow Weaver - Home Run! I love this figure! I saved what I guessed would be the best for last and she delivered! Perfect cape on her and the articulation she has is awesome! Brilliant design on a beautiful toy. She looks like she should and mine had no quality control issues. Ver happy with Shadow Weaver. 10 out of 10.

    Overall Feb was a solid month and with the map it was like a mini birthday or Christmas. Good times!

    That's just the way I use to open the packages of my figures. First Fisto, then the Star Sisters, after that Sorceress and last, but not least Shadow Weaver.

    Photog as he's the only one that's arrived so far.

    Whenever I get the others, it'll be Sorceress (finally!), Shadow Weaver (finally! Awesome character I can't believe we get) and then Fisto (which, I'm excited about, but I never have had a figure of the other two.)

    Opened Fisto first because he was the only one I had as a kid and I was excited about the 200X accessories. Next I opened sorceress because she was long over due and I'm a motu fan before a pop one so I saved shadow weaver for last. I guess the main reason for opening Fisto first was because both shadow weaver and sorceress had very limited display options. Photog has yet to be opened. I'm still on the fence about selling him because I don't think I can recoup my money. He's not too horrible of a figure, at least he's not Mo-Lar, but I just haven't fully accepted him as part of the motuc universe.
