Mindzeye Studios Hellboy Midnight Variant Statue... Any word?

[bagelsncheesey]

To every one that had a chance to order this, have you heard any updates or had any shipping emails come? Still haven't heard anything on my end. Their website says shipping late August, and well, it's late August.

I haven't heard anything yet either - it is late August - but I suppose they meant the last day of August. I hope they haven't run into any production problems.

How often do shipments of collectibles go without a delay?

 

[Zoomaround]

I haven't received any e-mail correspondence as of yet. Just keeping my fingers crossed that we hear something from them soon.

 

[MadCow]

I was just thinking about this as well. No word from the person that ordered for me. Hopefully we'll know soon. In the meantime i've got to free up some room in the HB case...

 

[Ktjn]

Did any of you e-mail them, or call?

Yes, with no response.

Very interested to hear when they'll be shipping this, since it's now September.

Here's an update that I got in my email this morning:

"We would like to let you know that there will be a slight delay with the Hellboy Statue that you ordered. The Hellboy line has proven to be even more popular than we anticipated and therefore has delayed production due to the increased demand.
There was also an issue with the printed box, which we felt had to be fixed before the shipment was approved.

But we are happy to report that the shipment is on its way to us and will arrive in a few weeks, at which time processing will begin. Please allow 2-3 weeks to process once the shipment reaches us.

A free, added bonus will be included with your Hellboy order as a show of appreciation for your support and patience.

We will contact you again when processing has begun.

Have a great day!

I am excited about the free bonus though. Wonder what it will be

...The Hellboy line has proven to be even more popular than we anticipated and therefore has delayed production due to the increased demand...

Does this mean they increased the edition size again??? Otherwise, I don't understand how it could delay production.

They better not have... to me, that'd be false advertising. Changing it before the con... acceptable. But changing it after the con, when orders were all sold out... would be ^^^^ty on their part.

I'm guessing what they said means the mold part of the process... since the 3 statues are all the same mold. I'm guessing they want to release all 3 at the same time, therefore the delay would be that of paint issues/faux bronzing, etc. Being a newer house in the business, that would be understandable.

Lets hope so anyway.

 

[lcummins]

Maybe they increased the edition size of the painted version; otherwise, the "increased demand" part just doesn't make any sense.

 

[Naptownsithlord]

I'm really bummed to hear this.
I guess it wouldn't be a high end collectible without a few delays.

 

[occulum]

wasnt the increase in ES last minute before the Con?
Id think thats the same increase theyre referring to ...

Hmm, I wonder if you have to inquire about your order to get the free gift?

 

[customizerwannabe]

It's a great piece at a great price. If another couple hundred people get to own it I'm really not going to be upset.

 

[ChrisfromSideshow]

Thats a pretty sweet statue - we should carry it

Sideshow needs to explore the space of the Mignola style Hellboy and not just carry movie based pieces ..... c'mon Chris, explore the space ....
