I received same message September 6th anyone now received shipping notice? I still haven’t

I think the last message I received was June 12th.

Supposedly this was the final delay due to a factory fabrication issue that was revolved.

The figure was supposed to ship by the end of August but here we are in almost October.

I’ve purchased Cobra and the first Rambo figure direct from Stallone shop but don’t recall if those were continually delayed like Loan Shark Rocky.

Thank you

Still nothing as of today 22. September, no shipping info no mail....

Ive had the same message twice also, so im giving em until the end of this week and then going to PayPal for a refund. Ill be honest im more pissed off that the reviews have been out for over a month from people who haven’t even bought it. No explanation for these continued delays on a figure that wont have sold boatloads because its already overpriced and its not marvel or star wars and it’s been up for pre order for like a year and half. Also **** all the good will that this company gets because we’re all lead to believe that Sly himself is making them but they’re acting just like every other up start figure company

What is this “$100 Bank Note” that was included with this figure?

Like a certificate of authenticity equivalent?

You definitely cant take away from the three amazing headsculpts but with all those people involved credited and still they made so many mistakes. Why not involve someone who is a fan of Stallones movies and of collectable action figures who is not an absolute yes man.

Received my figures yesterday. Couldn’t believe how fast they got here.

Haven’t had the chance to display him, but it looks amazing.

What were the mistakes Clipper?

Well Ive always hated the look of the boots/shoes on all their figures, they look cheap and doll-ish to me and Id much prefer sculpted/painter ones, on top of that though because the boots is only ankle high (which is accurate to the style) the functionality fails. Because the ankle peg is quite loose it renders the magnetic base useless because he tips forward. Anyone who owns the molecule 8 John Lennon will tell you that although the magnetic base is a lot better than this the cowboy boots work very well because they’re high so hold the leg in place but the sandled feet don’t because like Rocky he leans at the ankle joint. Also the base has too few points where the magnet connects so that needs customising also. The jacket although it looks and feels very nice the sleeves are about 2mm too short which exposes large skin coloured wrist pegs, i think black might look better but i don't have a spare set that'll fit into the arm. Also the scene where Rocky is given the card for Miles Jergens and goes on to say “Ive been coming here for six years, n six years you’ve been sticking it to me, i wanna know how come” Rocky enters the gym with a cigarette and is handed the card by Mickey but neither the cigarette or card are included in the set and because i feel that this scene is as iconic as “I should’ve broke thumbs” scene yet we get the pencil and pad in which he asks how to spell Del Rio. Some of this may sound like nit picking but at £300 and an unavoidable £86 customs charge it’s hardly an attractive proposition although Rocky and First Blood are my two favourite movies so i had to get this version. On top of that the prolonged release especially after theyd sent out review samples to people who’d struggle to entertain themselves in a locked bathroom and ****hub app on their phones and Ive forgot more about Rocky than theyll ever know. The heads are amazing, the artwork is very nice, Butkis is meh, the base is a good idea poorly executed, the outfit needs small improvements but the boots are terrible and should move away from this type in the future. The set is overpriced but even with all its flaws was still a “must have” for me because nostalgia is a *****.
