Assassins Creed Figures from Fire Figures Collectibles

I'm waiting on in-hand pics before I consider ordering.

You and me both. I really hope this isn't all just a huge scam. If it is, it's gotta be one of the biggest Internet trolls ever.

Because if they were licensed, they would have (C) Ubisoft 2012 or whatever the legal line is for Assassin's Creed on the photos. The news of this figure would be all over 'legitimate' sources, like Kotaku, IGN, and other video game blogs. They would have Ubisoft logos and Assassin's Creed logos on their site. If it was legitimate, they would have distribution, it would be at other websites like BBTS, Cotswold, etc.

If these are licensed, it's one of the worst 'launches' I've ever seen.

But I mean, hey, you do have 45 days to file a claim, they say delivery in 30 days, so you can always just file a claim. But maybe they just withdraw the funds from their PayPal account as soon as you send payment and take off, so PayPal has no money to refund. That's what happened to me years ago, I don't know if PayPal has adjusted their policy. But go ahead, if you're a huge AC fan, go ahead and buy, I hope it works out for you.

They have the assassin's creed logos all over the place as well as the character names

Like I've said, I'm not buying unless these go up stateside so there was already a strong possibility that I wouldn't be getting these.

Also, they seem pretty unorganized so it could be that they just haven't sent the ordering info to places like BBTS

Yeah, these things just scream shady. Absolutely no copyright information or Ubisoft logo's, the weird blurry pictures...the fact that the whole process has been insanely unprofessional (they have typos all over things)...

I wouldn't be surprised if they are making these, but I'd be very surprised if this were a legit operation.

Dice roll.....

Thank for the link , Damn this site doesn't look shady at all

 

[Cleveland_Brown]

The typos could simply be because English isn't their primary language. just a thought.

As for logos, I honestly don't remember a single ubisoft logo on the HT Ezio pictures..

Damn, you DO get the flying machine free if you're one of the first $100 to order... do I take the risk???

No, it's if you were one of the first 100 to email them from the beginning of this month.

From Facebook

you can order within 5 days of launch and if you are in the first 100 who emailed us... You will be entitled to have Flying Machine absolutely Free!

$165 is a pretty good price!
If they are unlisenced it may get changed to 'Italian Assasin' before release but they won't get shut down altogether.

Ah see, I was confused. I did that little contest thing they did, and assumed I would have gotten some sort of confirmation email, or invoice.

I entered that contest as soon as they posted it...So I guess I have to order to find out...So shady though...

It's $195 with shipping. As far as I can tell, they don't offer any different shipping methods beyond that $30 EMS.

I kind of hope I wasn't in the first 100 so I can wait to order until in-hand shots come. Also, I can't imagine they won't be selling the flying machine separately later.

Going back to my last post, I just checked all the official hot toys Ezio photos, and not a single one had an Ubisoft logo. Maybe there is some hope that these are licensed after all..

If people want to know if they're licensed, why not email Ubisoft?

Someone did quite some time ago. A few pages back they posted saying that Ubisoft still hadn't gotten back to them.

If you're looking on your iPhone or iPad it sure does look shady but once I got on my laptop where flash is in full force, it looked just fine

as an example, this is kind of what the page looked like when viewing on my phone

or maybe Hot Toys figures are unlicensed as well! We're down the rabbits hole here people

they didn't have the Ubisoft logo, but the bottom right had "C 2009 Ubisoft Entertainment"

Ah, I see that now.

But they did have the Ubisoft legal line, which is the key. Every licensed figure has the copyright info of the licensor at the bottom.

I can guarantee these aren't licensed. I'm not interested in the figure, so it doesn't make a bit of difference to me. I'm just saying this is a huge 'buyer beware' situation. Most if not all, unlicensed bootlegs, are offered through distributors, so you have at least some reputation or safety net.

Seriously, if some customizer came here on the boards, with no post history and showed off pictures of a figure he made and said send me $200 and I will send you the figure in 30 days, how many of you would go for it??

I remember when that Hot Toys Online Shop popped up a while back, I called that one as a scam right off the bat, but people still bought, and of course, it was a scam. Everybody got their money back from PayPal, but it doesn't change the fact that it was still a scam.
