Penny Dreadful BBP figures - What is the status?

[jonwes]

I got the two SDCC figures. I haven't seen the show yet, but I really like Eva Green. So I'm hedging my bets, here.

I got the two SDCC figures. I haven't seen the show yet, but I really like Eva Green. So I'm hedging my bets, here.

I don't know this show at all, but I have had the HOTS for Eva Green (& Michael Pitt) ever since I saw her (ALL OF HER :0 ) In "the Dreamers" -(Gr8 Movie!), so I think maybe if the show ends up on Netflix or Hulu Plus someday, I'll have to check HER (I mean IT) out! The figure looks nice, so when you get them could you pose her in any pics you have w/ other megos or repro/retro mego-like figures? I'd LOVE to see how she looks next to mego or DST/EMCE STAR TREK re-mego figs....to see how she would compare to use as a custom base! (I'm thinking eithet Star Trek TOS CREW member or Female Romulan!)

Sidenote: are you the famous JonWes who moderates on He-Man.org???? I finally joined there (I'm invisibleboy there...invisiblelad here!). If so, I'm into 3 TOYLINES as OBSESSIVE as you can get: JLU which is over, next is RE-MEGO figures (especially FTC DC repros & hopefully other lines too!), & next is MOTUC figures where I have at least 2 of ()% of them! I jumped in in 2012 & am missing doubles of most of the mosr pricey figs: Fisto, Shadow Weaver, & have NO Wundar or King He-Man!)

Well Just wanted to say hello either way! But if you are He-man.orgs JonWes.....Thanks for all you work there!

[jonwes]

Hey man! Yep, that is I! Guilty as charged! It's been a fun ride. My moderating days are about to come to an end as I focus on some fun projects I have in the works, but it's been fun. When I get her, I'll definitely try to take some comparison pics!

[jonwes]

Anyone get these at SDCC? Pics to share? Saw the first episode and really liked it. Glad I got these pre-ordered!

EE just billed my CC for the figures, logged into my account and saw that they are flagged as "In Stock" with an order status of "Processing"

I noticed that, too! They JUST mailed me some packages yesterday, too. Hopefully these go out today! I was pretty saddened to see the reaction to the figures on the official Penny Dreadful Facebook page. Pretty much the same reaction retro figures always get when the general public sees them.

Ugh. I hope they took a belt sander to that gigantic Rocky Dennis cyst they call a head on the Vanessa figure.

[Toy Timelord]

I am wondering who is going to turn Malcolm Murray into James Bond.

Or Rassilon!

[Grimjohn]

Just got an email from EE that Ethan and Vanessa have been shipped.

Me too! Won't get here until next Wednesday, sadly. But on the way!

[Toy Timelord]

Hmm, looks like they did manage to reduce Vanessa's noggin.

While I love the show, I'm more interested in this series as a source for Doctor Who customs.

Just got my set of the first two figures today and they look great. Really detailed and well done. Bring on the next wave!

Got mine too! I am quite pleased with them and the heads seem in proportion!

Here's Ethan...

Thanks for sharing. What's on the back of the card?

Here's the back of the card...

Sorry about the blurriness, I took these with my phone as the battery on my digital camera is on the charger.
