Any shipping notices yet?

Re: Molecule8 - 1/6th Scale John Lennon

IIRC January 16th was the shipping date, so did anyone receive a shipping notice yet?

Were they offering free shipping of the render to buyers email addresses?

Just checked their FB and the most recent update says first batching shipping sometime in January, second in March. I'll be genuinely interested to see what, if anything, people receive in-hand after this debacle.

Molecule 8 totally reminds me of Fire Figures. Anyone remember those morons?

I know they announced an Ezio figure from Assassin's Creed a while ago. What happened with them?

the pre order tab on site does not seem to work for me? sorry got it to open now, but no paypal option ?

Hello

At the moment there is no paypal option, of course though you may still use your credit card.

Thank you

Molecule8 team

Geez, even that response sounds sketchy.

Fire figures didn’t have the license and were using the logos and everything. Ubisoft shut em down. Then they became x figures. Then took preorders on a Logan and then disappeared.

Yikes.

Hopefully this turns out better than that. At least Molecule8 seems to actually have the licenses. I just hope we get Wonka, even if it's not Hot Toys quality.

I think you're getting ahead of yourself; light a candle for Lennon first.

I bought that and got a refund but the funny thing is they sent out a few figures if you can find pictures what they sent out is hilarious!

I can confirm that Mike Hill is still on board for Wonka he can't say anything as he's signed a contract but he did say that yes he's still on board!

Of course he is...and they will have an excellent head sculpt to put up for pre-order...just like Lennon...

Really? They actually produced a product? I must see photos!

I'll try and track down the pictures pretty bad was an understatement I believe the sculpt had bubbles and cracks etc
Just over a week until we see if they deliver at all

A lot of factories are pumping out as many products as they can before they wind down in feb for new year. If it was shipping in january we should have seen a final product by now. Even if it was just one for final approval. The boxed figure they showed on their site still looks like the proto just with a box.
I’ve looked at the founders business history too and there are some re-occurring patterns like they go bust or he doesn’t stay very long. He also claimed a 6 month stint with a company where the top dog had the same last name as him (brother or cousin?) so he’s clearly clutching at straws. I don’t trust him he’s a peter molyneux (minus the the fact he has a final product under his belt). Full of blah and they will be at best, just another 1/6 company on par with the likes of asmus.

Good luck getting a replacement from these guys if there's a nose rub like BCS Bond or another issue.

I can see Vijays reply to the complaint now...
“There is no such thing as a bad final product, what you have there is a 1 of a kind rare variant of John Lennon. We could have made them all perfect but decided to create yours as an individual piece and although it shares the same name as 1000 other John Lennon figures yours is actually only 1 of 1 we made like this you are very lucky, we at M8 are very jealous”
