Mezco One:12 Predator

[Cajun Predator]

I'd contact DHL directly as BBTS can really only speculate. A week of no movement is not the norm for DHL, and perhaps contacting them will kickstart its journey!

I contacted BBTS yesterday and it finally started moving today Ironically. I suppose they contacted dhl. There's NO acceptable excuse for any package to sit somewhere for over a week. Yes, I get it was a holiday weekend but that didn't slow down any of my other packages. It's already bad enough we waited 2 years for this predator and at over $100 it should definitely take priority when it's shipped out. Don't know why they went with DHL for this. Last time I got a package from DHL it looked like someone beat it with a bat.

I've had nothing but good experiences with DHL, but it depends which service as they have express and slow.

If you paid for the express service (which usually takes a week to go from US to Australia for instance), you may be able to get a refund or discount since it sat still for longer than it should take to deliver. You may need to contact DHL directly though.

Finally have a Pred figure that I can have in a natural sitting for repair kit pose

 

[Rotfish]

They used printed decals for the dirt smudges on his skin, but couldn't bother to create a spot pattern?

 

[MxBxM]

Yeah, the dark paint on the skin missing is a big mistake and huge miss. I also don't get why they keep doing the biomask pourous instead of it being smooth on the jungle hunter.

The proportions are great though, but not enough to ignore the other huge problems.

Arrived in Australia, blocked to local sale due to the goddamn button battery fiasco. No idea what's going to happen to my pre-order.

Did you order directly from Mezco or the US? I ordered mine from Popcultcha, so hopefully I'll be spared this drama.
What exactly is button battery fiasco?
I hope it's resolved soon for you.

He declares it a great figure before even opening it, which is suspect, but to be fair he makes it look good in his display.

Four weeks have now come and gone and Mezco still hasn't shipped.

At first, I didn’t like the claws being two sizes and detachable…but now I like how you can completely retract the smaller claws



Now you can do hand poses without the claws obstructing the movement



The gauntlets swivel besides the wrists so that adds nice claw poses when you can realign the claws one at time as well IMO

Ordered from Davey Boys Toys, because they had it listed as in stock months ago during a 20% off sale.
Has Popcultcha sent yours out? That's where I noticed the 'International Sales Only' tag on it.

Ah, I just, checked the Popcultcha site and that "international only" message is new and wasn't there when I preordered it last year... it seems to be in stock and I've yet to hear from them (which isn't unusual), so I better call them. It looks like I'll have to buy it from somewhere else.

Davey Boys Toys have been poor communicators, so I haven't used them in a few years, so hopefully they're better now.

Figure issues aside that's a fantastic looking display. I've had my eye on some aquatic foliage for years now in preparation for a display for the Hot Toys 2.0 Jungle Hunter...

Just got a full refund from Davey Boys Toys. This button battery fiasco is goddamn stupid.

Yeah, I just got my refund from Popcultcha. This button thing is a freaking joke. It's an adult collectible...

 

[robbiethepainter]

Finally got my tracking from Mezco. Only took a month for them to ship it.
Update. They still have not shipped it. Only created the label. Four days ago.

Jeezus mine has already reached Ireland, just got my customs letter.

Naturally the fastest shipping & arrival ever for something I don't want anymore.
