    Captain Action in June??

    I ordered the early bird special and was wondering if these figures were to still ship in June.

    Well... that was the hope anyway. The factory is under tremendous pressure (according to them). It looks like it will slip, barring a miracle... How much slip is the question. We are planning on e-mailing all who have ordered so far once we get a harder date. The factory is supposed to e-mail me tonight. We are disappointed... it looks as if we are subject to same frustration as everyone else who make figures in China.

        I'll keep hope alive.

        I just checked my mailbox....nothing. I look forward to receiving my early bird pair.

          Thanks guys, it's really frustrating... but we are no more immune than HASBRO or MATTEL or even our own Doc Mego and CTVT. We were told this is ALWAYS a possibility... The light at the end of the tunnel is that since we went ahead and molded up the next 4-5 releases, the slips should end here (but then again this is China!)

              Maybe China uses a different calendar than the rest of the world?

                And to think people here were complaing about EMCE and it's delays.
                It is a part of life and the industry.

                I'm looking forward to when these come out.

                  It took 11 months for a prototype I asked for when they said it would be 2 months. Maybe they use Roman numerals. It's either that or make 'em yourself I guess.

                      Actually it has to be directly related to toys, and the lead paint fiasco. I produce some items for my company in China and they just shipped my proofs today for a 25,000 piece run. Two weeks ahead of schedule. The paint issue evidently has them double and triple checking things to try and restore their reputation. Being food related we've always been subject to the levels they must be putting toy production through now. Guess it's better to be safe than sorry.
                      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                            This morning I received an e-mail from Dave, which was sent to all early bird purchasers, that said the new shipping date will be sometime in August.
