Thank you for your e-mail. Unfortunately, we will not have the answer to that question until it is too late. It is very infrequent that a manufacturer will tell us ahead of time that they are not going to send us the QTY's they originally promised us.



The norm is:



1) we get a shipment of XX amount of pieces, which is YY% of our shipment… packing slips/invoicing in the order states that the remaining QTY's will be delivered in ZZ number of weeks…



2) ZZ number of weeks passes and we contact manufacturer about our next shipment… the manufacturer tells us that it will be another ZZ number of weeks (see # 3 below), or that they cannot send us any more units because they over allocated the item, quality control found a large batch with defects or damage, they decided to give our remaining stock to WalMart, etc….



3) after an additional ZZ number of weeks passes… see #2 above….



Sorry that we cannot offer something more concrete, or with a rosier outlook. Manufacturers have the discretion to make changes to, or cancel any order for any retailer at any time.



If you are able to get a piece at a price you feel to be fair, we would certainly understand if you would want to cancel your EE order. The ultimate goal is to add to your collection. We would prefer that we be able to fill this need, but we realize that circumstances (as well as whimsical manufacturers) might not allow for us to be the best option all the time. But, as long as you are able to get what you need, that is what matters.



Please feel free to contact us at any time with any issues as they arise. Thank you for your interest in Entertainment Earth.

i dont know if this email is good or bad. It sounds like they will get at least some and it just depends on who ordered first. the email i got from urban was basically the same:"we will prob get some, everyone else is screwed."

I wish you guys luck...it seems obvious that GG is full of S@$T and over extended themselves when it came to allocating these pieces to numerous vendors. How can they not account for only 500 figures going to a select number of sellers! Unacceptable! I was one of the first to get an email stating my order was cancelled after waiting for 5+ months. Unfortunately, many more will get the "cancel email" and GG doesn't care...simple proof is the shady "Japanese Version" which raised the # to 1000 thousand Baby Dolls. I've seen the pics and see seems to look great, the face is a little off but overall a great statue and I wish I had one. With that said good luck to those stil waiting and I hope you get her but at the same time I hope GG goes under!!! I'm still bitter can't you tell...lol!

As far as I see it, there's only one way for GG to dig themselves out of this hole and get back into everyone's good graces... and that is to create a THIRD variant... Babydoll with Machine Gun, anyone?

Urban Collector came through for me. Just payed for my Baby Doll, and I can breathe a sigh of relief.

I have been following this thread for months. I was never posting because I am new to collecting, and so I didn't have a lot of expectations. I was worried about the quality, but wait times didn't bother me as I was willing to wait as long as it took. Well, it looks like the wait is over for me, unfortunately, without the outcome I was hoping for. Here's my email:

Hi Elliot,

We were unfortunately just informed today that Gentle
Giant had cancelled all of our orders for the Sucker
Punch statue. We're sending you a refund through PayPal
now. I'm so sorry we weren't able to get this statue in
for you!

Thanks for your
understanding,

Grats Jeremy!! You are gonna live her

Sorry Suden, and welcome btw

Jeremy, did they contact you first or did the charge just show up on your card?
After seeing your post I logged onto my banking website to see if I got ninja billed for mine...no luck.
Did you order late or right away last year?

 

[naria]

Thanks for the comment on my sig, Eli26 Unfortunately, I did not make it.

Yeah I love cats. I agree, your sig rocks! Did you make it?

Wow, that's awesome man! Congrats! I guess that gives me a little hope since I ordered this right when it went up on Urban as well. Still, gotta temper those expectations since it's still highly unlikely the rest of us will get her.

I don't know how to take it either...at this point, if I get one, I get one. I can at least find solace in all this knowing I've got the japanese version coming

 

[Yangus]

Did anyone else here bought this from comix-bazar on e-bay?.
I sent them an e-mail on last week and they told me that they will have it on stock by the end of the month.

I just find this video:

Truly amazing statue.

 

[fantasymaker]

WTF ? , 900$ on ebay , crazy people , that statue is not worth that price, sorry for the fans, but the detail is minimal, is a huge statue, I love to see different materials in it , like a Premium Format , i like GG , i collect your stuff , but that price mmm......HT 1/6.

 

[riky]

Can anyone recommend a plexiglas case she will fit into?

 

[Darth Snoopy]

Congrats to Riky, Doc and Jeremy!

They sent me an email first, telling me that I would be one of the few to get A Baby Doll statue. Then I was sent another email from Paypal, requesting payment. In my first email, they said I was one of the first to order Baby Doll from them.


I hope it works out for you. Keep your fingers crossed.



Btw, riky, I get my cases from casesforcollectibles.com. Their products and customer service are top notch. Plus they package their cases very well. A case for Baby Doll shouldn't cost too much. I'm thinking of getting one big one to fit all five girls inside.

Hey, can you tell us what date and time you ordered baby doll on so the rest of us get an idea of how early we POed? No worries if you can't!
