I have one on order through Sideshow as well.
I got to see one in person at a comic store while on vacation.
I don't want to spoil anything, but I was not thrilled...

Please share your thoughts. I might cancel my order and save some money.

Just as an option, if you do cancel, give making your own a try.
Shop properly and it can be done for less than $20.

I plan on doing a full review when mine arrives, but when I saw this thing in person I just thought to myself "shameful"
I knew the handle would be poorly done and was hoping that by removing it for a replacement, the head would still be salvagable.
The quality of the handle is quite laughable, like someone in high school art class made it.
The head has soft details and even the fact that it's made of metal does not help the overall innacurate apperence of it.
I will share detailed photos when mine arrives, unfortunately I cannot cancel without losing my deposit.
So, would you say the pics we've seen are misleading?
That's too bad that they can't learn from past pieces.
Figured this might happen all of MR stuff is very questionable, they never produce what there prototypes look like.:unsure

Once again, the conclusion I'm inevitably coming to is, just buy the inexpensive "Halloween costume prop" version, it's very affordable and the company that made it did a really good job on such an inexpensive replica.
Those with the appropriate skills could probably make it even MORE awesome just by giving it a better paint job!

Mine is on order with sideshow and a $40 deposit. It sounds like I should eat the $40 and cancel. Why spend another $360 for something I won't be happy with?
There's a video review of it on YouTube. To me, in that video it looks the same as the pics that's available. I'll keep my order. If I'm THAT disappointed, it will more than likely at least sell for what I'll have in it.
How do others have them already??? You'd think ordering from Sideshow, on the first day up for order, you'd be the one of the first to get one.

I just received my hammer today, and I am absolutely floored at how terrible it is. The handle is laughable, and has paint improperly placed all over it. The grooves aren't even filled in with silver, it looks like the machine ran out, so the silver is barely there. To make matters worse, the head of the hammer has some sort of strange, oily residue that is VERY thick. I won't even remove the plastic bag over the top of the hammer, as this residue covers the entire hammer top.
This thing is awful.

Can you share some pics?
The oily residue might be to protect the metal from tarnishing while in transit. Not sure, just a guess though.
Can you share some pictures of the piece? I would probably cancel my pre-order except that the place I ordered from (Comics Infinity) doesn't refund deposits (last time I order from there).
