Amoktime releasing their own horror figures

[kurwasz]

but anyway this figures looking bad, likeness is terrible

 

[Anton Phibes]

...what figure are you talking about?

 

[kurwasz]

about all..

 

[NosferatuBill36]

Saw Elvira at a store. Thought she looked decent. Then I looked at her price(28.99) and nearly threw up on myself.

No thanks.

about all..

Oh...ok.

Kinda wanting Amok Time's Karloff figure. On a break from Horror collectibles until Sideshow wises up and goes back to Universal Monsters.

 

[Ironman1188]

The store is moving? Thats all~~?? Oh wait, they cancelled "IT", and he was the only one I wanted.

Yeah, "It!" was very disappointing. I really wanted to get that one. Although I would have hoped that the cut joints would have been changed. Between that and the loss of the BSG figures.....

Amok Time moved to a larger location so they could more easily not respond to emails about poor QC and not stock it with new product after years of waiting.

I was thinking that myself...guess they are funding the move with all our pre-order money for products we never get.

looks like tarman is also delayed.....again. i was all excited for the feb. release and surprise....another delay. now i have to wait until may to be disappointed again. why is it taking so long. seriously, i have a full moon pictures killjoy doll.....there is no way they turned a profit on this figure, lol. they were practically giving them away. why could that figure get produced but no tarman or killer klowns.

One reason is the economy has frozen small business and major businesses alike with a nice cold blast of fear. Coupled with an "environment first, animals second, people last" mentality in Washington, and folks are just scared stiff. Unable to go forward because of fear. Fear that the products will be released, no one will buy them, and then out of business they go. Its been like this for awhile now. Whenever it lets up, the toys will flow. Until then---we all get to gripe.

Ahhhhhh~I wonder...is this the same turd who's been throwing these "NECA and McFarlane rule and Hot Toys and SSC are barbies" posts all over the forum? I only ask because he's banned and all he did was spew crap all over the sculpts saying they all sucked, etc. I bet its the same moron.

i can see how the unpredictable economy would do this, but by placing pre-orders they can gauge how well this figure will sell. by continually pushing the release date back it's just going to irritate customers who will cancel their orders. if amoktime would just let us know the reasoning i wouldn't care so much (if its the cost of the materials and producing the figures, or if there isn't sufficient pre-orders yet to offset the production cost).

They don't charge for pre-orders do they? I was thinking that only happened if you paid with Paypal.

And so is it safe to assume we will not see any more of the announced 1/6 figures released? I'm still really hoping we get Bub

 

[deadlift18]

just checked amoktimes site under the news and it looks like the tarman figures are getting produced.....shows the original one and the figure through it's first stage of production! so despite the delay i am still very eager for more brains!

If there were that many pre-orders, then the figures would have been made.
Everybody wants.
No one pre-orders.
Figures can't get made.
Even more people complain.

Hell, I just thought it was funny...and it did release a little of the pressure. I did pay up front for my items via Paypal...even ordered them separate with a promise they would be combined..then I get no answer from their help dept. so I'm charged shipping twice. Despite the HUGE Klown fan I am I have been considering canceling...of course then I would give up my right to _____ about it.. ;D lol

I've completely forgotten what I pre-ordered. I'm almost sure I pre-ordered Blacula. Did it ever come out?
