Mars Toys 1/6 MAT023 Alfred Pennyworth (Batman '66)

[ymba]

Love it. Only 10 was available and an hour earlier. We should changed the time and alloatment everyday

 

[jsgord58]

Will they be ‘at it’?

Third batch will come with Alfred AND Aunt Harriet AND a bed AND a ceiling mirror. That's why I'm not so upset I missed out the first two times. The accessories just keep getting better.

 

[ymba]

Honestly just tell me a time more will be posted and I'll be on.. guessing when is a bit of a frustration

Check the site every day at a different time is your best bet

Seems like it was an hour earlier. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Is the suit tie included with Alfred part of the butler apron or separate?

As I said earlier, no one's gonna miss it, why stress?

Awesome.

…however til next time…

 

[pixletwin]

So I get back to my desktop an hour earlier today, after bath, dinner and fixing my kid's mess

I will try to put more up at similar time tomorrow

As I said earlier, no one's gonna miss it, why stress?

It’s a sport. You take a shot and hope it lands. Glad I don’t work tomorrow.

Take three!

 

[ymba]

Honestly, it would be better if Kit tell everyone the time and if you miss it, you miss it. Oh well

 

[Raven]

Great news! The apron is cool but he wore the suit and tie more often I think. Certainly when outside the manor!

The situation is mildly frustrating but totally understandable. And preferable to a Mondo drop that lasts 10 minutes "aaaaaand it's gone" for good. Although I havent yet had the pleasure of having him snatched out of my cart at checkout (which is part of why I asked what payment is accepted. Don't want to waste time trying something that doesnt work anyway).

Yes he has tie and bow tie.

Same Bat channel…new time slot soooo…You missed it!

I'm torn. He looks good in the tail suit, but as we've seen it was a rarer outfit.

The everyday butler's suit is the look I most associate with him, with the apron being next.

Three Alfred's would be excessive so I think it's going to be the tail coat - because it's classy and reminds me of the early days of Hollywood, like William Powell in The Thin Man - and then the apron look for the second, which is just the regular suit minus the jacket.

Just wish the set came with a second, more expressive sculpt, and it would be easy to have all three outfits displayed.

Glad I was able to preorder Mars’ Tommy Lee Jones Two-Face, if this really is their new release model going forward.

Don’t have hopes for obtaining ‘66 Penguin - if they ever make him.

 

[Stryker2011]

Missed again. Grrr!

 

[Jroug]

Score!

Under normal circumstances I don't think it'll be an issue.

Mars dropped this on Kit at the busiest time of the year, and he and his staff are having to work through the holiday to sort it out.


Bad timing and communication.

 

[Raven]

Yes, I'm guessing (hopefully) it was just a decision made to accommodate the bad timing and generate some added buzz for the line on a (hopefully not too) limited edition add-in secondary cast character. He may have expected less push to own this figure other than the hardcore fans and felt it needed that extra buzz. Just like female figures years ago. A butler would've died on the pegs back then. Obviously different time and price point but similar idea.

Personally I do appreciate Kit and his company. Probably the best and most dependable seller I've bought from outside of the US. I always get what I order and it usually arrives faster than I would expect. We collectors are a finicky bunch with a huge case of FOMO. Keep doing what you are doing, many of us really appreciate your service!

 

[jsgord58]

Kit has kids. With kids it is often difficult to adhere to set times. That is why he puts these up whenever it is most convenient for him. I don't have kids but I do have a wife who acts like a spoiled kid.
