      Wow, that was quick! Mine aren't due in until Friday. Did yours have any of the "goo" in the bubble?

        No Goo, no issues with my Green Arrow!

          I ordered my Green Arrow on May 17 and received it on the 19th.

          I'm still on the fence about opening him, although I suspect I will eventually. I'll probably use a knife and cut out the bottom so as to leave the card intact or as best as I can figure out. I noticed there are ventilation holes at the bottom so I wonder if this was designed to dry out the known issue of oil? Since I've only gone to TRU once (and they only had Sinestro and I didn't buy because I was broke) I wonder if the rest of wave one has those 3-4 punched holes on the bottom of the bubble.

          The bow-legged-ness is still evident. So I may switch out the body with a castaway or DM swivel arm later on. Until I open the package I can only guess the "hunched body" still exists. Overall, I am delighted with the figure. My wife and daughter want a Wonder Woman and my sister-in-law loves Aquaman so she might get interested with Mego-style toys once those come out.

            i got one the 1st go round and when i opened it, way later the knee joint was broke.
            i didnt worry about it until the rerelease so i called them today and opened a claim.
            i only hope they will replace it.

                  I've had nothing but a hassle with the wensite. I think I'm just gonna let this one get away. Honestly I think it is unacceptable for a company such as Mattell to have sucha crappy "error" laden website. E#specially since they are marketing it so hard to actually move product. Shoot, even CTVT's checkout process is flawless.

                    I received one of mine on Friday, and while the figure itself is terrific, it seems that they are still spraying the silicone inside the bubble. It's nowhere near as prevalent as my others, but there are some noticeable specs in there. I guess only time will tell if it will start seeping down the sides. I'm surprised that they haven't taken care of this issue by now. The other two I ordered later will be here on Monday, so I'll cross my fingers on those.

                      I received my other 2 Green Arrows today. "Snot" inside both bubbles, and one of the figures had his moustache and beard unpainted! Way to go Mattel!

                          Happy to report replacement arrived today, and no snot in the bubble, and there was an extra cardboard insert, to make sure he arrived safely!

                          NOW I'm happy!
