The delay is not because of improvements. There was damage to the tooling for Virginie and Lin that needed to be repaired first.

No, there were initial delays in improvements also with the quality of the face paint apps and details on the weapons and gear. It was all documented on Facebook.

Yes, those problems have already been resolved. The delay now is because we are waiting for the tooling to be repaired for the last 2 figures. All the figures will ship this month to the distributors except Lin and Virginie. There isn’t any info on when we can expect to see them shipped yet.

Then by now Hasbro, Mattel and other would have closed their action figure business.

I'm not talking about major quality issues, but many of the ones reported online were not that serious for me, like extra paint in the guns, some sloppy paint apps etc...

And this is not valid for toys only, everything you buy nowadays has quality problems. Some are detected by customers, others aren't, and some customers just don't care if they see it. Companies realized that its more likely to loose market share if they keep delaying things then just putting them out with some quality risks. Later they fix it in future productions and replace the complaining customers with the parts or new products. It's more profitable and less market share risky like this.

Some people don't like this approach but its the world we live in. Returning to PGV, with the exception of the mold issue which is something serious, many of the reported ones could have been solved as they go, even if they had to ship a gun, head or whatever later. As it is they will loose followers, whether they can regain them, I don't know. Depended if someone else shows up with astronaut figures as well.

Just got another shipping notice. Looks like they are shipping "Mind Controller," but "Schoolgirl Amy" is on backorder.

And now Locker Toys has updated their Facebook page saying they just received an entire shipment of School Girl Amy figures. I've asked them if this means I'll receive another shipping notice. Hopefully, they will get the Virginie figure soon also.

Ok, well apparently I totally misunderstood the message in my shipping notice. Looks like they shipped Amy and the Mind Controller is on backorder.

So, hopefully soon, they'll ship my back-ordered Virginie and Mind Controller.

Looking forward to getting Amy though because of the accessories and such.
