This was posted on KGH's FB group yesterday:
The latest response is an indication that nothing's changed at KGH:
I'm undecided who to order from. I always prefer ordering from Kit since he's so good, though he's more expensive than expected this time, no doubt due to the big box shipping calculation.
I could get it cheaper from Sideshow unless they decide to go overboard with the shipping cost, but then it's wasting reward points that would better be saved for something that's an exclusive.
Kit's keeping the pre-order window open until 20th December, so there's time to wait and see what two of the local companies price him at.
I don’t know.
But my lastest figure arrived from them today and no issues. I got the Flight Officer no issues.
So seems to be hit and miss maybe?

From the list it seems they have trouble sourcing Hot Toys figures they've taken orders for.
Oh right. Interesting to know.
Luckily I essentially got the figure for free, but still the wait is annoying. Green Goblin Upgraded Suit released in December 2023.
About to hit a year.
So I have to wonder how they’re planning on sourcing figures after such a long time and why they don’t have a supplier that can fulfil orders?

I'm in the US and preordered with Timewalker Toys. With the preorder discount came to around $315 shipped.

It sounds like the Toys Wonderland method of operation: take orders at invitingly low prices, then try to source the figures at prices low enough to make money on the order.
The video claims AR Alien is shorter than Scorched... but then we see pictures of a towering 8 foot alien... so who is correct?
I never got the sense that Scorch was over 8 feet tall while watching the movie. I think people are conflating the Offspring height for Scorched height because that's what comes up on goggle.
But the figure looks a lot cooler being gigantic.

I’m sticking with KGH. I can’t really recall if I ever ordered a HT from them, but I had almost no issues with my orders, apart from the slow shipping times. I have a ton of HT on preorder with them, now. I’ll let you know how it goes

The Offspring actor, Robert Bobroczkyi, is 7' 7". I didn't realise Cailee is only 5' 1" at most (estimated to be just under 5' on Celebheights).

Yep, that's why I think when they say the alien is over 8 feet, I think they mean Offspring.

Something seems to have gone awry.
If this sells well and they make Rain, the alien is going to be 7" taller than her. That doesn't seem right.
Here he is compared to Andy:
Agreed.
Here's the alien compared to a human...
I don't think Scorch is 8 foot tall.
I think HT screwed up.

The animatronic looked taller...
...but it's not Scorched.
I think I read somewhere Scorched was shorter as he wasn't fully grown when he was rudely awakened by the stun gun.
