It's been in stock at Global Gear on eBay for a month. I got mine 3 weeks ago, and for $60 less than Popcultcha. I'm a fan of PC, but they've been having some really unacceptable delays lately.

With pennies, I got it for $249, not bad. Congrats on getting him.

It's a great figure. You'll love it! We need Inigo!
Wow am I late to this party and WOW is this party dead as FK! And I'm not sure why because this is an impressive fig
Finally opened this guy today and only did a quick once over, but this is much much better than I was expecting. As others said something goes wrong when you aim a camera at this. I was crushed when I first started seeing pics months back and the unmasked head appeared to have a Hasbro level paint job, but this is infinitely better in hand. Nice to see accurate skin tone and accurate blonde hair as opposed to the too-tan approach and non-blonde color other companies have used to tackle characters with this similar coloring (Luke, Thor, etc). Maybe that does lend itself to a bit of a more toyish look but I think QMX executed this really well.
Have to say after unboxing BW Lecter and this in the same day, this was more impressive, especially for a $70 difference in MSRP
Hope they complete the line!

Yeah man I love this figure! It hits on the nostalgia childhood spots for me. I hope they do more 80s fantasy stuff!
What I'd give for a Willow Madmartigan and Willow Uffgood...

Scarletta Madmartigan run just starting up:

I had four friends over this past Monday, none of which had ever seen my collection (I have seven detolfs that are overflowing with over 50 1/6 scale figures, almost all are Hot Toys). Even in the crowded little space that I have, each of my friends managed to spot Westly like he was Waldo. It was funny because everyone was talking about different figures all at once, so each person discovered The Dread Pirate Roberts without the others catching on. As each person saw him, they’d share a reaction with me like they’d just discovered America. Then, each would share some nostalgic story about The Princess Bride. I had no idea this QMX figure would be so easily recognized and receive such high praise from my friends. Even though I own several grail figures and numerous custom head sculpts by JNIX and Spencer, The Dread Pirate Roberts was the star of my collection that day.

I saw that, it really depends on what the headsculpt ends up looking like before I commit.

Now if QMX would just get off their ass and make Inigo and Buttercup. This one and done $#@t is really pissing me off.
Willow was one of my all time favorite movies as a kid. I need to find out more about this madmaritgan thing.
Send me pm with price thanks
Yea this is really a great piece. It needs a nice custom metal sword but it’s a great package at the price point.
What’s the deal with that custom forum? I’ve been off the grid for a while here. I heard something happened with the custom section here but don’t know exactly what. Is that the place everyone moved to or is all the custom stuff (buying/selling/talking) scattered around social media now?
Didn’t they show Inigo at SDCC? is that not still happening?

Yes, and that’s it. We also saw Raylen from Justified, but that’s dead. We haven’t heard a thing about Inigo, which was first shown a couple years ago. We should have gotten a PO for Inigo by now, unless they’re putting all their 1/6 energies on Star Trek.
It ended up separated from here into its own site. Our logins from here work over there:

To the best of my knowledge:
Sideshow Collectibles threatened to pull affiliate status from the site over threads about unlicensed figures and custom runs. Which meant revenue from affiliate sales links would be lost, so unlicensed threads started getting shutdown and the custom section disappeared completely for a bit. Only to have Sideshow pull it anyway, so all the custom stuff got moved so projects people had already paid on were able to be finished and we’ve been free to discuss any figure from any company without the threads being closed.
If I’m wrong please correct me or add anything I missed.
