Ah right.
I think the Black Noir/Spiderpig statue is ace. It would be nice to have the full set, no?
The three I got were the main three that I remember from the film. I was intending to get the full set as yeah it would be nice but between the sideshow misshap and getting them over here they announced another, Peni, which I'm not that fussed on.
Now the dilemma is if I get the Black Noir/Spiderpig which I like (but not love) I may feel I have to get the other one which along with being less exited about will also cost a good bit more as its a Deluxe one. Also as its a little higher than the other three it will restrict my placement options for them........ having said that I'm close, very close to clicking on the buy button for it and Black Widow (that will have to be paired with an upcoming Red Skull)
Oh dear. So they aren't even getting the basics right now.
Paypal cheque? I never even knew such a thing existed and I've been using Paypal for years, lol. I totally understand why you did what you did just to get the whole issue resolved. Their customer support seems like it's a right faff now far more often then it should be.
Still convinced they are restricted to what they can do like most big company reps these days, the personal touch from when I started using them is long gone so I wouldn't and can't be over critical of the rep himself on this occassion.
They don't know why it failed but I'm thinking if its as my cc in my account is set to take payment in GBP which is an option you can change and they tried to refund in USD which may have caused a glitch? Who knows, its done now
Had to google paypal cheque and its apparently a thing. Downside I didn't like would be it would have taken whatever time to do by them and then another 7-10 days to clear in my account so just took the credit as worst case it will pay for Harley so not putting me out or loosing anything.
I've read plenty of horror stories over the years about backers losing their money to projects that never follow through. That's always put me off.
Of those that have come to fruition
this is one of my all time favourites and I've come close to purchasing on a few occasions.
From the bits I've read zenescope still seem to be small enough that they keep in touch with there fans so would have thought this one would be more than ok...... but totaly get what you mean as the thought has crossed my mind too that the setup could be open to abuse
I hadn't seen that one before, I like and it made me smile
That's a fairly quick turnaround all things considered.
They seem to have had it in the works for much longer, remember seeing computer mockup pics early this year of there design process update...... I'm guessing they use the kickstarter for the actual manufacturing costs
Could I request a pic please the next time you have your camera out?
Will do. I did have some of that unit from when I built it a good few years ago but can't find them now so will take a few more for you at some stage
Are there any other characters from the graphic novels you'd ideally like in statue form?
Of the top of my head probably Callie Liddle...... Alice in wonderlands daughter.
There was a trilogy of wonderland graphic novels set years after Alice visited that featured her which got me started on zenescope. So she would be one that would tick the meaningfull box for me.
Then there are plenty others that would fall into the Snow White catagory of really like but less personal meaning for me, if that makes since
Sometimes you are just no fun!
Am lucky enough that I can make my mind up quickly in the high want department most of the time and just get with normally space being the final deciding factor......... plus of course the benifit of spoiling your fun before you have any
Say, have you seen the Miles Morales Hot Toys figure or the upcoming Iron Studios Deadpool deluxe statue?
I have seen both, a year and a half away for the Miles Morales one so that should give me plenty of time to get and play the game....... but yeah not a pre-order although he is very probable when he comes out
Deadpool....... that ones a yep for the want list, again haven't been pre-ordering any Iron Studios ones as they seem to be readily available upon and for a while after release
I'm pleased to read everything went smoothly and there was no wastage.
.... and no damage to the glass or my hands
I see from the pics you posted your favourite gal is taking pride of place on them.
Yeah the glass is a good width for them and like how they display...... wouldn't call it a prime location as its one of the few display parts that will be prone to more dust. There's is still some space left too with a couple of them glass shelves in that corner currently sitting empty...... so more room for some more wee ones
That's just awesome! You really got your teeth into that line and I've enjoyed every single pic from it.
Wouldn't have moved them all in like that if it was still continuing but as they say all good things must come to end....... I can be really happy with the ones I have
I expect you won't be waiting too long as that's another line that rarely seems to release a clanger.
Its the clean bases that made the Joelle Jones phase for me so less likely now of any more..... also had a rethink and have rearranged them slightly and have the Woman Of DC line of minibusts displayed behind them so that means there will no longer be a space for another in there.
Like with the GN shelf I'll try and get a few pics at some stage
She sure is.
Your pics of her are great.
Loved that suit from the game. It's actually my favourite Batgirl suit.
Cheers, and yeah would be one of my favourites too
I whole heartedly approve of this sentence.
Thought you would
Was disappointed that I had forgot to bid on a Robin that ended up selling cheap..... ah well, at least it would have been an impulse buy and not one high up on my want list
You made the right call. If ever you have any doubt it's best not to.
Still a might to get one as it could go behind han and chewwy
I expect a straight purchase from them with no issues is fine. It's if you were to run into any problems that would concern me. In my experience, I think their customer support people do their best, but their systems are quite archaic.
Yeah always nervous buying from them after reading all the stories but had my first dealings with their customer service earlier this year around the time of the lockdown with a missing steelbook and took a few days but happy that I got a replacement without much hassle
Well, I've saw your glorious pics of her.
Needless to say, I like her a lot.
I would have no complaints with one of those.
I'm genuinely relieved and pleased she got to you unscathed after her long journey.
Did you end up having to pay any extra for her in the end?
No fees, under £130 delivered so over the moon with that
Bit of a weird experience though, they supplied a USPS tracking number which never worked at all but it arrived within a week from dispatch and when I checked the completely different tracking number on the box the info said it was posted from switzerland
So anyway, happy there was no delays and no extra fees and of course she arrived in perfect condition
I've noted you've had a recent delivery from Zavvi. Is it our boy, Bats?
It is but still un-route. They shipped it from the US and its just left Heathrow so should arrive here next week.
Do you really want me to spoil the surprise?
Trust me, when you see pics of the first one, you'll have plenty of ammo at your disposal.
All ready to be loaded up
Look forward to your first pics
A nice selection there. So who is the frontrunner?
Probably the Black Noir/Spiderpig one...... or Black Widow...... or both lol
Another scenario where I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best.
Even more confusing for Northern Ireland on whats going to happen but no doubt no matter what happens we can be sure prices will rise
It's handy having reliable foreign contacts, especially in this game.
Have seen there name reguarly on ebay and amazon, they also have a reasonable looking webshop so no issues using them again if need be
I've always thought those kind of foreign sellers are like gold dust. Are they fairly common on Amazon?
They seem to be common enough on ebay but only seems to be amazon themselves that do the upfront fees as I haven't came accross any sellers offering it there..... happy to be proved wrong though
How could they improve on her though? She was perfect.
Half an inch shorter and she would have fitted into my cabinet lol
I'm still in the honeymoon faze with your pics of her.
I could get a bit of millage out of this lol
I'm rooting for them, that's for sure.
Main thing for me is that none of the collectors thats paid money lose out but do hope they can recover as they do seem to make some great looking pieces
Have you saw the Prime 1 statues too? Next level, as usual.
I did indeed, just as usual far to big for me to even consider..... just have to settle for looking at pics of them
Have you gone for the steelbooks for LotR 4K? I'd love that set, but have had no luck in securing them.
Yeah had the ordinary on order then got an email alert from amazon that they had more stock so changed to the steelbook set before they sold out again. They wont be going on the wall though as I prefer the poster ones (not UK and cant remember where they were from) that display well with the 3 Hobbit poster ones
Plan to display with the DVD and Blu-Ray cases with my LOTR bookends
All hail the helmet! Lol!
lol yeah and got an email last week even though I never complained that they are sending out replacement cases so now I can have floating heads in stereo
It's just typical. Of all the steels they had to fudge up it was one from the original trilogy, the only ones I has interested in.
My thoughts exactly
About a bazillion at last count, lol. I can guarantee
@Our Year has them all too!
I do vagually remember seeing a cubed setup from him with some of them in it..... nice display ideas for things I like always seem to stick in my mind but can't remember what I did yesturday
I try to be diplomatic where I can, but yep, you nailed it! Lol!
Which other caped ones do you have aside from the 1/4 scale Bale one?
All 1/4 scale and actually have 2 Bale ones, HT Dark Knight and Enterbay Begins
Then two Vader PF's and although not a cape a bit of futzing on the PF's of the emperors and darth mauls robes...... pretty sure thats it now
Did you edit out about your Batman PF appealing or did I imagine that? Presume it was not to put me on the spot about maybe not liking it.
But nothing like that, it wasn't on my wish list simply due to the height not allowing it to fit into where I would want to put it at the time, same goes for the Keaton and Arkham ones
The Dark Knight one was different as I prefered the HT version which I got
He's got his red and black suit on in the Iron Studios statue I mentioned earlier. Just sayin'.
And just to spoil your fun he is well and truly high up on my to get list once released
A fine choice, sir.
Just need to stay strong now as the other two are currently in-stock
It's a great thread, isn't it? I just love seeing all the different releases and collections other people have. A bit like in here really.
So, have you found a spot for your Batwing yet? Lol!
Yeah great thread that has all the info I'll ever need for any new or upcoming sets that I' be interested in so I've been looking though it reguarly since before I got interested in getting the MF
Did almost plan a rearrange for a space for it and the HT Batman but have different thoughts now for that spot since.
The big test for me will be not buying it if the local smyths get stock..... similar to what happend with the Batmobile
