Lost figures lost?

[pmwasson]

Entertainment Earth now show the regular Lost figures not shipping until October.
The SDCC exclusives still shows August.

If that's how long it takes to get them right, so be it.

Amen to that, but it is frustrating! Wow, two months later. Shoot. I wonder if they will be showing wave 2 for presales before then.

Great point.

[Nostalgiabuff]

damn, and I have been watching for the package every day too. oh well, maybe I will at least get MIB and Jacob this month

[pmwasson]

Looks like Flash Gordon / Ming has been delayed until October also.

Oh well, I was dreading my August credit card bill. Now things will be spread out a bit.

It felt to me that Lost and Flash were both suffering from the same funky head issues. I hope this means they'll be looking especially fine in October.

...Absolutely the reason for the delay. The factory will be correcting the issues that have been discussed.

Thanks for the verification Jason, a sound decision, I'd rather wait.

I second this - the heads are crucial and did not look too good.

I received my MIB and Jacob over the weekend. I'll see if I can get a review up soon.

I see Entertainment Earth now has MIB and Jacob listed as "Coming in September". When they finally ship them, I wonder if they will be improved from the ones sold at SDCC?

[Nostalgiabuff]

I got notice yesterday that my Jacob abd MIB were shipped. Can't wait. Question, I notice when I ordered all 3 sets the shipping came up as $15.95 for all but the shipping charge on the email for Jacob and MIB was the full shipping. Are they really charging 15.95 per shipment? If so I might have to think twice about buying future releases from them.

Shipping is charged just once for the very first part of the order that ships to you. Shipping - Frequently Asked Questions -Action Figures, Toys, Bobble Heads, and Collectibles at Entertainment Earth

[pmwasson]

I got a notice also. Mine should be here by the end of the week. Yea!

I received my LOST Jacob and MIB yesterday from EE, which was a nice surprise!

The costumes and the cards turned out nice, but I have to admit I am a little disappointed in how the likenesses came out on the final product -- they are much softer and lost a lot of the detail that was on the protoypes. The final Jacob in particular has a more elongated head and doesn't seem to resemble the actor much.

I understand things often change in production but it's a shame that the specificity of the actors' faces that was in the protos disappeared. Rather than buying the line as a given, I'll have to see the actual figures from here on in before deciding to purchase.

Or course, everyone else's mileage may vary...
