KGHobby is shipping the deluxe on sept 7th, surprise this came in quick as I'm still waiting on non-deluxe mando Luke and a bunch of Loki figures from them.
Ordered one of these back when TW had those ridiculous cheap deals, it took ages but I emailed them asking for an update and got a tracking number a day later, then after a month it actually moved and arrived today. A long wait, but for what I paid I was happy in the end. So yeah if you ordered...
It's a shame Grievous went into figuarts oblivion, but if you want a figure that scaled properly and accurate I'd suggest the Bandai model kit. Some parts are fragile and needs a little paint for details and weathering but it'll look amazing in your collection!
Here it is compared with the...
Recently got the reissue of the RotJ Vader, and for being a solid figure the cape really lets it down, but man it suddenly becomes a perfect 10 once you put a Hasbro cape on it (also took 5mm off the bottom to sit better)
Before:
After:
Honestly it didn't appear like it had been opened at all, the whole opening process looked like any regular sealed figure, only you find the batteries missing. Like I bought the 1/4 mando from popcutlcha where they took the batteries out and it was appearent it had been opened with new tape and...
Mine was lower cause I used pennies for $50 off coupon, and how that works now is you pay $100 deposit at preorder and get the $50 discount off the final invoice.
Yeah I've got a lot of things on preorder with KG cause they used to release pretty quick, and it's like now I'm just not gonna bother going ahead and just preorder anything I might get FOMO off of from popcultcha.
Mine shipped out from Popcultcha on Tuesday, arriving Monday. Have one still on preorder from KGHobby but decided to get another when I saw Pop getting it in now (Now Gideon will have a flank!).
Also had a lot of sideshow figures, when I got into Hot Toys I sold off most of my human head sculpt ones and ended up selling my clone commanders mainly cause they are still worth a lot and I'm happier with Hot Toys clones.
The ones I've kept in my display:
Bounty Hunters (Fett got replaced by...
There's no rhyme or reason to how companies get figures, like popcutlcha only just got Ahsoka in now whereas KG has had her for months. Some figures just randomly show up early at retailers and some show up late (eg Solo Maul showed up ridiculouly early at popcultcha after release). For all we...
I don't expect it to take that long, the 2 pack Boba dropped during hong kong covid shutdown and just messed KG around, but I've had recent things like Jango, Gideon and Biker Scout all shipping not that long after release, I'm optimistic of throne Boba before the end of the year.
Message them on their Facebook page with your Order number, I too was waiting for ages but messaged them Monday morning and got invoiced for Boba Deluxe and Transport Trooper that evening and have shipping notices now. KG has been good with all my preorders coming out recently like Jango and...
