ENTERBAY: Men In Black

[Clau]

I've checked Asian sites and haven't seen, much there either. OMG not an Enterbay collector?

You do realize that most the bloggers get HT figures in advance and for free so they can do their social media marketing thing to entice us to buy this stuff, so I submit to you that at this point, many of them probably have to buy the EB figures like the rest of us before they can take pictures because Enterbay hasn't caught on using bloggers or decided to do their own (since Bill personally post them on Weibo anyway).

I can imagine some larger companies giving out toys for review, but are there some really giving out $180 - 300 niche figures for people to review? If Enterbay don't, is there any confirmation that Hot Toys do? Does anyone know if Michael Crawford, for example, is receiving free Hot Toys figures?

It's a whole other conversation, yes, but since you brought it up I wonder...

Yes, its common for companies to send out early samples to be reviewed. Mattel does it all the time with fan sites such as Fwoosh. I know Crawford has gotten a few figures in his day too, but he buys most of his. Don't know about OMG or anyone else, but yeah, it is something that happens. Its a gig I'd love to get somehow

Crawford gets a few from HT but Jeff aka wookster who gives most of the guest reviews gets a ton from HT. Look at the bottom of their posts and it will say whether or not it was provided or purchased.

I think OMG buys his. He has made reference to going to the store and waiting for the release of figures.

 

[Grosby]

I see, interesting. That makes me think maybe start my own site, become much beloved, and then never have to pay for 'Hot Toys' again. How to become much beloved though, that would be difficult. And even if one did succeed likely free toys would not be so forthcoming.

I ordered the twin pack the same day they were available for PO. Shouldn't I have received an e-mail confirming dispatch and with a tracking number?

You should have. It says if you don't receive a order confirmation within 48 hours to contact them. That's what I had to do and I got mine the next day after sending them an email.

I got confirmation the next day.

They actually have a few bloggers/youtubers, but I think not in the HT way, its not on the forefront of their minds tho.

Hope it won't be too long before parts start going up on eBay. There's several exclusive Franks, one of which I might get, but no figures parted yet. Early days I guess..

I SOOOOO wish Toy Anxiety had EB stuff, I wonder why they don't!?

All I would say is how much time for them took those pictures while figures were just being release a few hours from their shop in HK. Not to mention the synchronization of all these bloggers.

Afterall, I have no adverse comments with such arrangement and I thankful to HT while I can just keep mine in the box and save those pix

I feared we might have been at crossed purposes, I thought he was parting out Enterbay!

My bad, LOL!
