Mine says same as well but for May 14. This means DHL hasn't gotten the shipment physically yet...so no idea how long that will take. I emailed DHL and they mentioned to contact the shipper as to when DHL will get the shipment.

Found a decent pose I liked for Wolverine. The figure has certainly grown on me over the past few days. It's basically everything I want in a comic book figure. Though I don't think the cell shading paint job is necessary. I think the darker yellow works on the costume, but the tan as a shadow on the skintone doesn't work.
It kinda makes me want a company to make Jim Lee figures like this, the painted cross hatching would get pretty intense. But that's really all I want, a Batman and the X-Men that look like Jim Lee's art. I'm realizing that the musculature of those characters just doesn't work with a spandex suit. The movie superhero costumes have muscles that are literally sculpted on, so there's just no way to get that defined musculature in 1/6 unless it's sculpted.
Also, I noticed the head doesn't seem to want to sit flush on the neck. Once I swapped heads, I noticed I can't push this head any further onto the neck peg. It provides for wider articulation in the neck, but looks weird from the side

Wanted their Omega Red, then I saw how heavily the cell shading was on it. Completely ruined it for me.
So far, I'm only in for Sabertooth from this line.

Any other QC issues with the Wolverine..I heard about issues with weak or loose legs and his claws getting deformed

This is the main reason I didn't get Mondo's O-Red.

So I'm not alone on that train of thought. I love cell shading when done correctly but it was absurdly used on that figure. Such an absolute shame.

Touché.
Gambit, Rogue, and Sabretooth are among those done right.
From the Batman series, Manbat and Bane are good examples of good cell shading application.
Whoever gets their regular or limited rogue in hand, make sure to check the head portraits. There were a couple of members in the mondo collectors group in Facebook where the neutral or default head portrait had eyes that are far apart from eachother and makes the head not useable. Contact mondo support so they can send a replacement head and so they can track if this is a widespread issue. I contacted them on messenger chat and they said to contact them for sure and if needed, they will send replacements. As of now they don't believe it is a widespread issue.
I have yet to receive my copies (one each) but am excited and nervous at the same time. For anyone that got theirs let us know if you had any issues with the portraits good or bad.

Yeah, if there are QC issues, let them know ASAP before they close the door on manufacturing.
Wait too late to do it and you're ******. Assuming they have stock put back for these kinds of situations is foolish. They generally count on ppl just "getting over it" and saying nothing.
Ya I think I saw one on YouTube, 1 on instagram and like 3 or 4 people reported in the fbook group...seems to be a high chance at this point...haven't heard anyone really saying their copy is ok

Hate to hear that, pal. Fingers crossed.
One of them had more issues...lots of paint ball issues on his copy all over the body. So for him he needs a full replacement

I feel like issues of that nature are pretty self explanatory. If the company has any care for their user base, they'll make it right.
Yeah?
Agreed.
I think they rushed rogue out... initial estimate was June and they were ready end of April...a whole month or more early.. i hope that the paint issues and loose torso as that same copy had a loose top torso are not widespread

Had no idea she was pumped out early. That is interesting.
Yep when she was announced they said June expected ship date. This kinda reminds me like the shera and he-man..I think they were early as well

Well, if you consider the fact of fandoms crying for product, they can't win either way.
They're either **** on for late releases or questioned for early ones. Eh.
A ON TIME release? Forget about it..
Lol I rather late with minimal QC issues than early with lots of QC issues...
It's true though they can never win
Looks like this was the cause for the shipping delay in handing the item off to DHL to ship despite making the shipping labels already?
