    Jerks beef with Ten Bears

    Got mine yesterday - lucked out that I happened to be near my front door when the mail man arrived, as it was raining. Everything arrived in perfect condition, figure's immaculate, and no issues I can see. I'll happily snag the rest of the figures as they become available (although I really wish they'd do the modern John Stewart instead of the classic look, but that's just me).
    "It's sad that governments are chiefed by the double tongues. There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life."

        Long time lurker, first time poster. Got mine yesterday and was very pleased. Had to take him out of the package because he was standing crooked and it drove me nuts. My first Sinestro did that too. I put the 2 next to each other and like the new one much better. There is a different eye paint. The body is much tighter and the original had the tightest body of my entire first wave. I haven't seen anyone mention there's a new sculpt to the lantern. Nice touch. Can't wait for the rest.

          It's because of the vinyl used, I think. Snugger rubbery boods would be very difficult to get over full tights.

          The boot material is the main thing I dislike about the Mattel figs.


          Sinestro's new eyes are cool, though!

          (And Doc, what're the chances of Matty reusing Stewart's head for Black Lightning down the line?)
          WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

              on the phone with matty now, they also put the wrong order # on my shipping paperwork (more chaos) and are trying to remedy the solution which has required a 5 minute phone wait so far.... they did say they noted to have another shipped in a box, we will see if they comply with this. It needs to go through an entirely different department, and may no longer be availible. If it is availible i will have an answer in 72 hours. UGH!!! i hate mail ordering from Matty. (and i usually am not a complainer either!!!)

                Matty is the worst. They had shipped an order of mine to a non-existing address and as a consequence, I never received my items. When they admitted their error it was already too late too expedite replacements as the items had been Sold Out. It doesn't get any worst than that...

                  I got my Yellow Sinestro today. It came in its white box just like Green Arrow. And that was inside a bubble wrap envelope. It arrived in great shape.

                    I've never had any issues with them other then Green Arrow taking a long time to come to me but since it was around Christmas time, I can forgive it.

                      Got mine the other day. I like the figure. I, too, was surprised by the shipping, though mine was fine.

                        Got mine today also. I ordered two so luckily they used a box and they arrived undamaged. I guess I'll have to order two of each from now on just to avoid the bubble mailer.

                              Mine came this way as well. No issues and I really like the look of the figure.

                                Got mine yesterday, in the same box as my 12" Lex, so no worries there. Nice looking figure! The costume detailing is especially nice at this scale, and probably the most complex yet in the line.
