I have one of those coming along with a Metron and his chair but I think Metron was a Pre-Order. Also have Atrocticus in some of my threads.

He sits higher than Alan, and a full 1/2 head taller than Terrific behind him. In comic-stats, Jay is about 6'0", and Alan is 5'11"...but that figure makes him look 6'5". Comparing the knee joints, the lower legs of the figure look to be really long. Not a huge issue I guess, but still bugs me a little.

Not a huge issue I guess, but still bugs me a little. Maybe it's just camera trickery with Mr T behind him. The knee joints do look off but I think they're roughly the same height minus his hat.

I think it's just the helmet that's making him look every so slightly taller.
Is the official day of sale still 16 April?

Alan's knees are bent, too.
They're all based on the same bodies, so I can't imagine there being a major scale issue.

Is the official day of sale still 16 April? Nope. Start date of the sub has been pushed back to May 15 (ish depending on what day the 15th actually falls). News has been sent out in an email, on the Matty forums, and on the front page and in threads here at AFI. Schedule has been updated through June as well. Jay looks great. I don't think there will be any real scale issues once the figure is in hand. Height differences in the pic is due to the hat as far as I can tell. Now ... gimme gimme gimme

If you compare the stances between GL and Flash at the knees and hip joints, you'll see GL has been put in a wider, lower stance, probably to help balance him without using a stand. Even Mr. Terrific behind him seems to be set in a wider stance, making him appear shorter.

I was watching some of these auctions on Ebay for Metron, Atrocitus and Jay. It looks like they have been taken down by E-bay. I received a message about the Metron auction.
