Nothing like the frustration of waiting for a new toy to be delivered. Its all work work work and no play.
Has anybody heard from Joe about Jack and Palmer? Last I heard they were in customs, but that was over a week ago.
He is still waiting for them to pass. He said they had to x-ray them!
I got my pair direct from Enterbay today. Unfortunately I have to send Jack's pants and Palmer's shirt back to Enterbay for repair or replacement. The snap on Jack's pants was sewn so that half of it sticks out when the pants are closed. Palmer's shirt is missing a button. This isn't the news you've been hoping for, I know. These aren't the pictures you've been waiting for either:
Tomorrow's a jammed up day, but when I get these guys into some temporary replacement duds, I'll shoot some real shots. The ones above were for Enterbay customer service. They got back to me within hours, which is remarkable considering the time difference.
There are some oddities to Palmer's suit, in particular the jacket cuffs aren't sealed up -- so you can futz with them, and get the shirt cuffs showing properly -- you just position them with tweezers and they stay without snaps, but at first it seems like they forgot to sew them up. The suit material is probably microfiber. It feels like extremely light nylon, like a windbreaker, and must have been difficult to sew. There are puckers that look at first like sewing errors but on closer inspection are not. This may require steam or a craft iron. I'll post more when I know more.
Both figures are still stunning.
Please note, Collectamania already had the left elbow snapped on his Bauer and he’s had to send back to Enterbay.
I have been checking the remaining Bauers we have before shipping.
Some of you may find that the left elbow does not bend up as much as the right elbow.
DO NOT YANK IT!!
Simple solution is to take it at the elbow joint and just twist it around gently and you will find that it’s only twisted the other way.
That’s the end of my public announcement!
Jack Bauer was in the UK yesterday at the premiere of his new animated film.
Think its called Monsters and Aliens
A customer called me yesterday saying he is taking his fig to the premire and try to get it signed!
Not heard from him yet, maybe he has got it signed. would be cool!
