1/6 Batman: TAS figures coming from Mondo...

The crack in Freeze's left arm band grows. ****.
View attachment 668068

I've heard and seen the same reports with the DC Direct 1/12 Mr Freeze figures too.

I guess it's quite a problematic aesthetic design for an area of the figure that needs crucial articulation. I've been racking my brains and can't really think what DCD or Mondo could have done differently, that would allow articulation.

I initially thought a separate arm-band piece that could slide up and down, to expose the joint for bending the elbow, or hide the joint for a straight arm. But then I feel that wouldn't work as it would slide all the way down the arm to the wrist when the arm is straight. It's a tough one.

Myself, I tend to just keep Freeze's arms straight, and only bend them for minimal photo posing. So far, neither DCD or Mondo are showing any wear. Fingers crossed it lasts!

How did Mattel's $0.99 Major Matt Mason "Plastizol" hold up after 50 years?

Mine has only just shown as "processing completed" as of yesterday. So I think there's movement beginning on it now.

Mine has updated as far as "Processing completed at origin" in Melrose park, IL.

It's got to come to the UK so probably a while to go yet.

Does anyone in the European union knows if the taxes are Included or we must deal with the damn customs by ourselves?

 

[SimonAT]

In previous purchases, before Mondo was taken over by Funko, the taxes were included to the UK.

Now, it's unclear. Especially with the free shipping too. I guess we'll find out soon enough!

 

[aragen]

Got an ETA!
I'll have Harley on Saturday!

 

[Hologram AI]

Still no shipment on my exclusive and I ordered the moment she went up. Hope she ships out soon. Looks like a really fun figure set with all the stuff they included.

 

[TexasFi3nd]

Same here, ordered the exclusive on day one. I mean it was late in the day, but still day one. Mine hasn't shipped yet either. I'm sure it will ship soon, hopefully.

You have to pay the taxes when the figure arrive

Just had to pay £41.71 to release mine from customs.

That sucks, have to build that into my decision making on any future purchases. eBay might be cheaper route of finding Joker and Batman now.

Same here on the customs charge.

But I think of it this way: The figure was free shipping. So I just see this customs fee as the shipping fee. That makes it a little easier for me to accept.

That's true. Now it's in the UK hopefully arrive early next week.

Tracking update. Handed over to Royal Mail, expected delivery on Monday.

Sorry for the iffy pics. Got her last night.
Best of the Mondo TAS releases thus far. Not perfect but definitely better than the DC Direct one.
Bring on Man-Bat and Phantasm!



...I'm soooo running out of room.

Harley is so friggin good!! even the box art is wonderful!! I got mine delivered already, but not at home right now. Can't wait!!

All I've gotten for Harley was the notice a couple weeks ago that she was arriving in warehouse and Mondo was going to inspect before shipping soon. No word since.
