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

[Cocoboloboy]

Mine arrived and was measured TWICE!

Oh, no! Measure twice…CUT ONCE!

Nothing will go back to China, but my understanding is all of these packages will arrive with customs fees we'll all need to pay to get the goods. USPS hasn't been regularly charging customs fees for ages because they are undrstaffed to handle the volume.

I expect a lot of packages (I saw that millions (!!) arrive from China daily) will hit US shores and rot for ages while customs processes them. Maybe they'll cave futher because just based on volume, it's unsustainable. For starters, where would they store the stuff?

DHL has been doing this for the last few weeks apparently, also new for them.

Meanwhile, China is retaliating and they are used to putting their citizens through pain, way more than we are. It's a lose / lose.

We're in the "find out" stage. Good luck, everybody, the pain has just begun.

Looks like my Alfred has made it to GA. Just hope it’s not held there for an eternity - so close, yet so far.

With all this mess with the tariffs , wondered how much of this will affect the $200-$300 toy market? I imagined probably at least 25-35% of all figures sold at that price range comes to US. Everyone will lose . The buyer will probably slow ordering , the retailer and the company ( IE Mars etc) selling these price range figures

I already heard the custom 1/6 market has already slowed down significantly and these are $1000-$2,000 figures . Buyers in the high range are not buying as much as before.

The colour of the Statue do not look Like in the Video of Big Breda.
Light up function missing
The Phone has no wire...
Am I missing something?

 

[Wor-Gar]

Oh come on...

 

[pixletwin]

That’s…. Unpainted.

 

[Asta]

The perils of the pre-CNY rush.

 

[Wor-Gar]

That's clearly due to the tariffs -- 10% reduction in cost.

Save money on paint, and tell them they got a very rare prototype.

 

[pixletwin]

Oh, just noticed the light is also missing. Nuh uh, no way. Contact Kit, pronto.

 

[Asta]

They posted that in both Kit's and Mars Toys' FB groups.

One more Alfred related headache for Kit.

I've never seen anything get packed in its raw state before, let alone two in one box.
