Well, if you don't have anything else coming that could be held up for combined shipping, I'd say give them a call or shoot them an email through the contact link on the site.

I sent an email a couple of days ago, so I might wait another day then call, they might have a backlog, I'm trying to be patient, control control I must learn control

 

[MaulFan]

Well, calling the day after a few people start getting ship notices is a bit over reactive, but not hearing anything for 2 weeks I'd say is worth trying to figure out what's going on, I've never had something take that long after others were getting the item sent to them.

Got mine at the weekend. Great figure. Anyone else think the head is a smidgen small? I know Arnie is a strange build, pulling the jacket in helps (paperclip trick you guys suggested).

Very good though.

 

[ViperSRT]

My buddy and I are waiting for this figure too. Any word on BBTS's ship dates/estimates?

I heard it was supposed to be early June... that's quickly passing.

Ok, I see the results of the paperclip trick. How does one do it though? Is it actually threaded into the collar, or just underneath it? Anyone have a step by step procedure? I don't want to poke a hole through the jacket or tear something...

I was thinking instead of a paper clip, I might use the black bendy ties that come with practically all the NECA figures I buy. With a paper clip, there is a slight chance you might scratch the material of the jacket or that the paper clip might start to rust over time. The advantage of using a bendy ties is that it's very flexible and that it's coated in plastic already so there is no chance of damaging the material of the jacket.

The 1st step is to ensure it is a pink paperclip. Limited edition, you see.

Exactly my thoughts as well. Great minds and all that! Wouldn't want to damage the jacket even if it is in an area not seen.

 

[dominishin]

I was thinking about using the bendy/twisty ties myself. But I'm not sure if they'll be strong enough.

You could easily braid a couple together and make it good and strong.

Form the paper clip into a "u" shape. Take off the jacket & slide the paper clip under the collar, starting from the back of the collar. Do not try to lift any of the snaps or threaded seams. Put the jacket back on, and squeeze the collar together until to get the look you want. Trim any excess wire you can see with wire cutters.
It's so easy a caveman could do it.

Perfectly clear. Thank you!

what about a caveman terminator...........

 

[EndoSickness]

a few pics with the paper clip modified collar..............i didn't bring the collar in as much as some that have posted but that was on purpose. i brought it into to a little over half way of how it originally was out of the box.

im in the process of remaking the grenade belt. this one isn't up to par with this figure.

Dude, where´s the Gatling from?
And the M79...from the Comedian?

AE has processed my order!

 

[Valfar]

What i have noticed in some pics with the paper clip on the collar, it gathers close at the top but, the bottom of the jacket still hangs to the sides, looks retarded-ish.

Damn you, BBTS. Damn you straight to hell.
