    I see that Spyweb007 seen him priced for $35.00, so I'm wondering if your comic store charged around that amount? I'm asking because I'm just trying to gauge what the comic stores are charging so I might get a rough idea of what the guy around here might be asking for him...
    No problem, glad to help you out. I found Taylor at Comic shop and bought it for $27.99 His website address is: www.bedrockcity.com The package Taylor is not on that list but it's still at store (on stock)

      My preorder that "has shipped" hasn't actually made any progress other than shipping info received and "ready to be shipped".

      My hopes of a Taylor Christmas have been dashed i think.

        Don't worry. Taylor is known for traveling in time.
        You may get him in time for Christmas (or you may get him a thousand years too late)...

          He is on the move but I'am finding out the cheapest 6.95 shipping through FedEx doesn't get you this.

          And when you're anxious to get something it seems like this.

          He's hanging out in Quapaw, Oklahoma right now so 3/4 of the trip is complete, a few more days probably with the Christmas traffic.

            ^^ Hahaha! Mine took 4 DAYS!!! with the Xmas shipping shaft to get from LA to the distribution hub in the Bay Area.

            Taylor warped in today via FedEx from a USPS driver (not our regular mailman) who flung the EE box about 8' in front of the door… never rung the bell; just promptly turned and sped off down the street. I ggrrrrr'd at the lamer driver seeing the crushed box in conjunction with my experience that EE doesn't pack with the same care as BBTS.

            You'll dig him, better in person than in the promo pics… a great addition to any Ape collection. Thank you NECA; keep 'em comin'!

              ^^^ Wow, they must have really been swamped by the Christmas rush.

              Mine is getting closer.....I think. It went passed me in Illinois and went to Indianapolis, Indiana. So i'am hoping to have him in 2 or three more days.

                Europe is often a couple of weeks behind, so I'm expecting mine late January.
                Snake Plissken seems to be taking his time as well. I thought he was schedule before Taylor...

                  Or they could have me thinking 2-3 more days and he actually arrives today!!! Awesome looking figure!!!

                  I'm wanting to get Snake too. I had thought he had a later release date than Taylor, I need to check into that.

                    The pictures look great. He looks perfect. Does he have the swivel arms?

                      Yes, swivel arms and legs, basically like a less muscular Zica version 1 body.

                        Excellent headsculpt. Definitely Charlton Heston!

                        I'm disappointed by the suit, I find the black stitching rather crude. I wonder if you can gently remove that?
                        It's also not at all like the stitching on Heston's movie outfit, which was very subtle and not in that pattern. Odd.

                        Glad they updated the body.

                          The suit is actually 3 pieces, a shirt, belt and pants, Velcro in back. The pants might be tricky getting over the boots, I didn't try but if the ankle pins come out it should be pretty easy.

                            Felt the same way when I saw these at TRU yesterday.

                              Mine arrived Saturday but I haven't opened it yet. Are the boots removeable?
