Enterbay - Michael Jordan (I’m Back)

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Did you order directly from Enterbay? Wondering if they charge the full price right away or a deposit.

I ordered mine from OSK

Pretty big markup. It’s $252 ordering directly. Not sure how much shipping is from Enterbay though.

@sabin23 broke the pricing down between BBTS and Enterbay in their post on the previous page. See below

BBTS is upwards of $15 to $25 lower than direct through Entebay.

Enterbay’s figure price is cheaper than BBTS ($256 vs. $280) but If I’m doing the HK to USD conversion rate correctly, Enterbay shipping is approximately $70.

BBTS shipping is only $4 but they collect sales tax so that may tack on nearly $30 extra, depending which state. So I’m looking at about $312 BBTS vs. $326 Enterbay (tax & shipped).

Entertainment Earth usually offers free shipping and I think they have 5% cash back through Rakuten or Mr. Rebates (forget which) but not sure if POs qualify.

Enterbay used to offer free shipping.

I'm looking at my payment confirmation emails from 2021 and prior years and shipping was free. In 2022, it was $40 for Steph Curry. Now $70.

That greed is obvious. They could step up their bodies, because the visible joints especially on a basketball player aren't acceptable anymore.

Best we can do is updated sweat marks on the forehead so our owner can buy another Ferrari.

That's exactly the case. Sweat on the head only. All the bodies are clean

Swapping shoes is the absolute worst experience on the Enterbay bodies, lining up that peg - using a heat gun helps some.

What type of body should Enterbay upgrade to?

While I agree they need to step up their product (basically the same stiff body for a decade), I don’t believe a seamless silicone body is the solution either.

While I like the aesthetics of no visible joints, those silicone bodies crack over time, particularly when left in a dynamic or non-museum pose.

I have a Freddie Mercury Live Aid figure with a split elbow and a Trinity (which I did not pose in the “Dodge This” Matrix scene) after another collector warned me, the armpit area will crack.

I have the Shaq (the later downgraded sculpt figure release) with this sweat technology.

I think Dwayne Wayde had sweat too.

Hey friends,

Question for you guys who would know. I would like to put together a 1:6 scale Michael Jordan figure. I'd love to pose him as dunking the ball. I honestly don't know where to begin.

What are my options as far as which body to buy that will work? Also, does anyone still make the 1:6th Jordan head sculpt? And I'm guessing I'll need the 1:6 Chicago Bears jersey and shorts. And of course the 1:6 Nike shoes are a must.

Can anyone offer me any advice on mounting together a 1:6 Jordan figure?

Thank you all!

You might have trouble finding Chicago bears outfits, but if you are looking for the bulls you have a chance.

A company called enterbay has released several Jordan figures over the years. There is one available for pre-order now.

IIRC a few years back someone tried to get a run of Yunsil Chicago Bears outfits happening but I don't think there was enough interest to make it worthwhile

They still using that first MJ sculp hub? The one that has been recasted to near perfection by now.

Looks like the Enterbay website and Instagram account are gone.

Good. They refused to adapt to modern times and their figure bodies are junk.

I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled a Chronicle and left with people's money.

I was going to order Jordan two months ago and decides not to because they want full payment. Someone emailed me asking to complete it when they saw it wad in my cart.

I used to order direct from Enterbay but then they started to unreasonably jack up the shipping fees over the last few years.

Some of their recent NBA figures have been hit and miss but you make a good point about Enterbay not evolving over the years - other than the sweat gimmick.

That being said, no one else offers licensed 1/6 NBA figures other than Enterbay (one company had a so-so Magic & Bird but then that line stopped) and i hate to see a company fold, which means less competition and options for the consumer.

I got the Vince Carter recently and still have Enterbay POs at BBTS and EE for Wade, TMac, MJ and Kobe.
