New Email / Overstock / Changes Due to huge amounts of spam emails (a few hundred daily), we are no longer going to use the: sales@ or support@ emails. The new one will be orders@. Please give it a few days for it to be active. If you have sent any emails or are planning to do so, resend / send them around Friday. The changes should be completed by then. We have some overstock items so prices have been slashed and items added into the Firesale! area. I'll be adding more items as I go through the inventory. Prices are good while supplies last. We will no longer be carrying busts unless a specific agreement is made with the manufacturer. We take a loss for every bust that we carry and can no longer afford to do so. There are numerous reasons why it is not practical for us to carry them. We tried to offer them as a convenience for everyone and sadly will no longer do so. We are going to direct our focus more on full size statues, gaming figures and exclusives. Speaking of exclusives... we have a few lined up. We will be announcing very soon a full size statue exclusive of an edition size of 150 units. That will make it one of the smallest exclusive runs produced for a retailer which is good for all of us. This will be one of three exclusives we are currently working on. More will be posted in the near future. Collecting hard, Danny

One more thing... Forgot to give the Bowen update. DST is planning on shipping all of our BD pieces at the same time. This includes Tigershark, Scorpion statue, Surfer and Hulkbuster. They want to package that will all the other product on a pallet and send it to our warehouse due to the volume. So, that's why it's taken so long. Don't ask me why they wanted to do that but such is the case. I know that some of the Surfers have paint flaws. Due to the cost of having to inspect every single piece before it ships, I'm having a local friend help out. I figure this will be done around the San Diego Comic Con time. Those pieces that are fine will ship to first orders and rest will receive an email with the option to cancel or take as is. Please note that quality control should come from manufacturer, not retailer so we incur a cost to inspect and repackage every single piece. It's going to be very time consuming and since we will not receive any price breaks on the flawed pieces, we cannot give any. We will also not be able to have any exchanges which is why we will only accept as is or cancellations. This is not the first time a manufacturer ships badly painted products so please note that it is not our fault that they might have damages. But, if you do take the piece, you cannot return it afterwards since we cannot do anything with the piece then.

Wizard World Chicago So another con goes by and now working ahead for SD Comic Con. For the latest news of items that are still arriving in waves (not all the pieces have come in at the same time), I think by next week we will have all of the remaining pieces for: BOWEN: Hulkbuster Bust Nighthawk Classic Bust Scorpion Modern Bust Squadron Supreme Nighthawk Bust Wolverine Unmasked Museum Statue DC: Batman Dark Crusader Statue Batman vs Joker Statue Koto Luke vs Vader Statue Black Canary Bust Donna Troy Bust BAtwoman Bust Cheetah Bust Starfire Bust Wonder Woman 2 Bust Pirates of the Caribbean: Davy Jones animated Elizabeth Swann animated STAR WARS: Kustomz Speederbike Jawas Bust Jabba the Hutt Statue Jabba's Palace Band Statue Chewbacca Animated Han Solo Animated Kit Fisto Animated LOTR: Gimli Animated Legolas Animated Ringwraith on Horse Animated Elrond Ringbearer Bust Saruman Bust World of Warcraft: BE Rogue Dwarf Warrior My rep is out until the 5th of July so I'll give updates on the Surfer then and any other item. I'll try to find out if they still plan to continue partial releases or full release (if we receive all our orders at the same time or just some now and some later). DC has not released any additional information about when their Series 1 will be hitting the market again. They did state they will be releasing / manufacturing more to meet the demand and orders but due to quality control, they cannot give a specific date. Remember, during this con season, send all your questions to carolina@comicstatues.com. We can't always get answers (manufacturers at times won't answer questions because they don't know them as well since the production of these products are done in Hong Kong and many factors can take place that create delays).

So some updates on World of Warcraft figures. We haven't listed the Series 3 figues but those are expected to arrive towards the end of the year. The Series 1 pieces were suppose to arrive around May but they will probably not arrive until Summer (earliest). As it seems, the factory that manufacturers these cannot produce them faster and keep the quality control there so they prefer to have the delay and better quality figures. That being said, I am going to be able to ship some Series 1: Blood Elf Rogue Dwarf Warrior I was able to obtain some directly when they found some more in their inventory. A piece that was not expected to see the market but are in stock now: MASTER REPLICAS THOR STATUE MASTER REPLICAS HULK STATUE As many of you know, Master Replicas no longer has that license. Therefore, they could not sell these pieces or ship them any longer to the public. But, we were able to obtain some via Marvel itself and can ship them out now. That's awesome news for all of you that missed out on the Hulk and wanted the Thor. Other arrivals from new items and back orders that are arriving next week: Women of DC: Black Canary Women of DC: Cheetah Women of DC: Wonder Woman Women of DC: Donna Troy We will be receiving some more of the Bowen Spider-Man (6 arm) bust next week as well as the Wolvie Action pose statues and Black Knight busts. Newly listed are some DC pieces such as the Batman Black & White and Superman vs Darkseid plus a few more. At the bottom of the homepage you can view the latest pieces up for order.

March Madness!! Zombie Arrives ! Finally, we see the light. In that light, is the Marvel Wolvie Zombie exclusive bust. We spoke to the manufacturer and they said that by Tuesday we should be able to pick them up. This means that by Thursday they will begin to ship out. They will ship out UPS tracked so please remember to allow auto-notify@ups.com to go through your spam (or all ups.com email). Please remember that this is an exclusive and a huge load of busts have to be shipped out. So, not all will go out the same day. It will take some time to ship all of these out since we have to ship other items that are arriving as well. Bowen Updates: Wolvie Brown Museum Statues will be arriving sometime next week. Black Knight Retro arrives next week. I stated that they were arriving last week but it was the exclusive, red variant one that arrived, not the retro. I have not put the variant up for sale since I did not know how many I was going to receive. I will have them up by tomorrow. Arriving to the US soon (then they have to go to BD warehouse and then to us): Museum Unmasked Wolverine statue : March 14th Nighthawk Classic bust : March 14th Nighthawk Squadron Supreme : March 14th 6-Arm Spider-Man bust : March 14th Collecting hard, Danny

Bowen Designs Shipping: Puck and Hellcat have begun to ship. Stingray is due to arrive / ship.

Remember, if you ordered via credit card, you don't have to worry about anything until the product is released to us. We then charge your card and send you a UPS tracking number when it ships. All the pieces will continue to be listed as "Pre-Orders" until we have them released to us. Collecting hard, Danny

Wolverine Zombie Update We should be picking these sweet busts next week. Once we do, they begin to ship out via UPS. UPS will be sending you the tracking numbers. Please note that we will not be sending tracking numbers individually so please make sure UPS is not on your spam folder. The email should be auto-notify@ups.com or QuantumViewNotify@ups.com. All cards have now been charged. This has saved us about two weeks of shipping time since now we can ship them as soon as they arrive instead of you waiting another two weeks for us to get all the cards charged and create all the shipping orders. Those with declined credit cards have been notified but your order will be canceled if not paid by the time the piece begins to ship. This is a very hot bust and we will need to spend our time on the customers that have paid. To save us a few hours, we will change your card status from preorder to shipping. Only status orders that have changed are the ones with declined cards that have been changed to "card declined" so they can receive that notification and know that they will not be receiving a bust unless they give us an alternate payment source.
