What is Comic Sanctorum???

[gmoney5000]

Hey sorry to start a brand new thread on this, but I wasn't sure where else to ask and the Marvel thread is pretty much the only one I'm active on.

Anyways I recently started receiving unsolicited emails from a shop called Comic Sanctorum. I checked them out and the font, layout, and style is all very similar to Toys Wonderland. I even see Justin likes Comic Sanctorum's Insta page.

So my question, is this essentially Toys Wonderland 2.0? Or what the heck is this?

I got the same emails and ended up placing an order which shipped out immediately. Tracker has it showing as just arrived in the US.

This is Toys Wonderland but Comic Sanctorum is their site for 3rd party unlicensed figures. A tactic if Sideshow or anyone else comes after them they can shut it down and still have TW up.

Ah, okay...that makes sense then.

Thanks for clearing things up!

I suspect it’s actually the other way around: if Sideshow gets ToysWonderland taken offline again for the perfectly legal re-sale of Hot Toys, they can at least continue selling 3rd party figures at FigureSantorum.

Works both ways but 3rd party isn't licensed. If Sideshow wanted to pull more shady tactics to shut them down it would've happened by now. I like to believe Sideshow wanted to close the advantage that these overseas sellers have and they have done that.

So is it safe to order from them? Also what is there shipping like? Is it free or is the cost reasonable? Thanks!

I had a good experience with TW. Same outfit. You will have to go through the checkout process to see the shipping prices. Just enter some fake info except for your shipping address and you'll see the options.

Bonjour J'ai commandé deux figurines et cela fait plus de 20 jours que ma commande est en traitement. J'ai envoyé un mail afin de comprendre cette attente. On m'a répondu qu'il n'y avait pas d'envoi à cause de la propagation d'Omicron. On m'a proposé 3 solutions : 1 - remboursement en forme d'avoir 2 - attendre 3 - mettre un peu plus d'argent sur le prix de livraison ferai bouger les choses....sue faire?

Translation of Mahms' post:

Hello I ordered two figurines and it has been more than 20 days since my order has been processed. I sent an email to understand this expectation. I was told that there was no shipment due to the spread of Omicron. I was offered 3 solutions: 1 - refund in the form of having 2 - wait 3 - putting a little more money on the delivery price will make things happen .... what to do?

Here's an idea for Sideshow: Why not spend that energy making better 1/6 products with the licenses you have so people WON'T want to go the third-party route...

They are just a distributor in my mind. I think the only thing I have been interested in lately from them has been that Taskmaster statue, but I am solely focused on 1/6th HT. SST made Gambit and tea bagged SS with the quality of that figure. I don't even know why SS makes 1/6th figures they are so bad at it.
