It's a fraud. Kind of crazy how many people fall for those.

My assumption for sure, just found it convincing at first since I have Mr J coming from overseas.
I wonder if they track shipments online with destinations listed and immediately send those texts... or if its much less sophisticated and they just send hundreds of thousands out and a few hit with perfect timing.

Crazy world we live in.
On a side note and back to topic, my DX08 is waiting impatiently for Mr. J!
If it's spam it should be pretty obvious, as they're typically so poorly made. I get them all the time. They don't even put any effort into them to make them look official.

Don't reply to that text. It's a scam text. You would have gotten an email if legit.
I got my Bruce Wayne figure in last night after 14 days of being shipped. I figure I will get this one in the same time frame. Never had an issue with kit.
So this outfit actually goes with the museum scene and he's wearing the purple cap,not his regular hatand has the drink thrown in his face,right?so you need this and Mr j to do that.
Hey guys I have the Mars toys 1989 Joker now I'm confused is this another one that Mars toys make or am I missing something? Because the Mars toys Joker that I have isn't this one.

The skin-toned version is I think, a recast of Hot Toys' mime Joker, painted with flesh tone.

Oddly, Ledger's Joker seems to have struck a nerve with collectors. There's a need/desire to continue to acquire upgrades. I'm sure it exist for other characters, but far from the level of Ledger's portrayal. I like Ledger's Joker just not enough to continue to shell out more money. I guess he came out at the right time for many people. He made a deep impression.

Those texts are always scams. It's not UPS (or any postal delivery service) at all. I get them all the time from UPS, Canada Post or even some unnamed service. If they don't refer to you by your proper name, or at least first name, in the text then it isn't coming from someone or some company that has any business dealings with you. If you feel compelled to look into it because you are expecting a delivery than simply contact UPS directly by phone with your tracking number and get the updates you want.
So Mr J is finally in the United States in Colorado on the way to me in New York yippee ki-yay can't wait to welcome him to the family. And I just paid another invoice for Dragon toys doctor zero let's keep up fingers crossed that this is a good one fellas.

When did your Joker ship, Joe?
Mine shipped but hasn't updated over the weekend, still at "Depart from facility to service provider" on the 26th.

Oh okay that makes sense I think I remember that nowMToys is also Eternal Toys and Topo.
Mars Toys hates Eternal Toys.
It's says 24th that says from New Jersey but it has the China symbol next to it so who knows but they say it's supposed to be here by February 2nd.
So 10 days. OK, thanks... just managing my expectations on this.
