Sorry for the late post, I was out of town for Friday's blog update. Confirmed was Magik from the New Mutants. I'm looking forward to her, hopefully she will be in her yellow and black costume with sword and partial armor.Sneak peek of Klaw. Hopefully, they correct the eyes before shipping. Otherwise, it should be an easy fix. Definitely picking him up.

Magik, niiice!!!
I have 12 marvel figurines (3 more from DC), one of these days I'll upload a pic, I bought 6 in the newstands from my town but I can't find more and I've started to buy them by Ebay, this week I will get in my house 7 more and today I bought 2 more :-)
I have a question: I've bought 3 asgardians and Etrigan in the Forbidden Planet Web, I gave my credit card and filled out everything circa a week ago, but the purchase is in my account and nothing happened. Any buyer in that web knows if it is normal, or I must start to complain
Thanks in advance!!
F%(&n Landru... LOL

I've tried Forbidden Planet twice and canceled both orders. After waiting over a week both times for some sort of confirmation they were working on my order, their customer service told me that it can take upwards of a month to receive an international shipment from them.

I had to file a Paypal complaint to get any response from Forbidden Planet. Once I did - they contacted me right away. They said they were waiting on a shipment and it took 2 months for them to ship my order. I got about 8 or 9 figures from them and spent more on shipping than I did for the figures. But looking around now - it seems cheaper than getting the figures on ebay.

Ouch, they've gotten worse. It'd almost be easier to make a friend in the UK that can buy the stuff in a store and ship it to you.

Thanks guys!! Very Interesting your information.
I will wait then. I've seen that FP is cheaper than Ebay and they get almost all the figurines including the specials, that is the reason to use FP, but if I must wait 2 months (or more) I still buy by Ebay.
My collection: Vision, Spider-Man, Green Goblin, Iron Man, Scarlet W, Shadow Cat, Phoenix, Wolverine, Storm, Elektra, Dare Devil and Silver Surfer.
waiting... I've bought by Ebay: Hobgoblin, Mystique, Bullseye and I've bought by FP: Thor, Loki and The Valkyrie.

PUCK mentioned as a probable figure and is being worked on!!!!!!!!!! OK, gotta calm down a bit. These two guys have been at the very top of my wants list since I started collecting.

That Sasquatch actually doesn't suck!I'm pretty sure that's a computer model, not an actual sculpt, so it's hard to know what the final product will look like, but at least they captured the gnomish quality of the face (tho I'd prefer a big sh*t-eating grin to a roar!) Can't really tell if the arms are long enough, from that picture.

Unfortunately, my friend "subscribed", so I got several I didn't want. When they started turning up this side of the Pond, I told him he could cancel the subscription.
