I am 99% certain that c9llectibles are not on the tariff list. That 25% tariff only impacted certain things, not everything from China.

That’s an ugly thought. The Viper might come close to matching the SF lamprey.....

Marketplace on NPR said a few weeks something to the along the lines of consumer items won’t be affected by the tariff. Some other cost was being removed so the masses didn’t revolt the next trip to Walmart. No idea what exactly.

thanks. yeah thats a huge difference. i like the mock up way better. i dont totally hate the figure but the mock up is a lot nicer. i know the mock up is a photoshop picture but its almost like there is a camera flash lighting it up making the colors look brighter then the actual figure, so there may be a color difference there because they over lighted the mock up. still thats very miss leading. probably why they dont show test shots from the factory like the action figure kickstarter guys do so that they are sure not only they, but their customers are happy.
the club has a time frame to hold and product to deliver, we know there are production problems in china by judging from the kickstarter guys and the delays they are going through because china keeps messing up. at some point the club has to say F it and roll with what they got and take the heat for whatever they get. is the club perfect hell no but there are a lot of things we dont know about they deal with. but in turn they have been shadey on things so they bring the negative upon themselves by not answering the simple questions they can explaining away the bigger ones they cant tell us. |

I asked on the Club forum if we were getting a replacement head and helmet for Budo or a Hawk with corrected deco and they deleted my post completely. Not surprised at all.
Oh, and BTW: the last I heard, toys were not part of the tariff. |

Although some of the figures received seem to have some manufacturing flaws (which you can probably attribute some due to the rush job), there is disclosure in the FSS mock ups, saying "This is a digital mock up. Final figure details and colors are subject to change." So it is what it is.

I don't even want to start thinking of the rest of the figures getting messed up. The Hawk and Budo are bad enough and while I do agree that for those looking for a Modern Era General Hawk, this was a huge disappointment. The only reason I even added mine to the Eco Warriors was that my lady pointed out the colors matching better that way. If Crystal Ball gets messed up, I'll lose my mind. I'm also really looking forward to Tomax to complete tha set, but I have my worries that they won't exactly look like twins going off the mock up. The Jinx head needs to be a knockout. I can't even think about Stalker right now, he's too important in my collection to see him messed up, same with Crystal Ball
