I would expect to hear something new before everything shuts down temporarily for Chinese New Year, which is about a month away. I know it’s been a frustratingly long wait for the rest of Series 1 to ship, but we just have to hang in there for the time being. Don’t want to get my hopes up too high, but I’m still optimistic that these hurdles along the way can be overcome. |

the radio silence from these companies is deafening sometimes
I get that they're reliant on a factory in China, but there MUST be regular communication between the "company" and the factory, otherwise they're paying for something that they have no control over and no knowledge of whether their goods will be produced and shipped
communication is key in any business, but almost none of these companies know how to follow up on their own PR - announcing something to generate interest is great, but you need to inform customers of key information like "How much will it cost?" and "When will it be available?" otherwise it's a waste of everyone's time to stir interest in something you can't deliver

Anyone have any updates on Gillberg and Ultimo/Sonny? And any updates on a wave 2? I have seen the paint samples of Savage and Ultimo Dragon. That was in November which tells me we are likely to see them this spring. FC has their fingers in A LOT of pies right now: BCA figures, their physical and online store, WSW Retro figures, distribution for other companies, and now their Reaction-like series with Comedy Bang Bang. I know Jack does a lot of work putting together YouTube videos as well. Hopefully no one is spreading themselves too thin. |

They said they removed the Bone Crunching feature because it held up production and removing it would speed the production process. If that is true, imagine how long these would have taken had they kept the feature.
I feel like the air has been let out of the tires for this line. Having 1 version of savage while having 2-3 for much lesser-known talent doesn't make any sense to me either. I hope these do well. I loved the first 4 figures and was really hyped for these. I can say they got me back into collecting.

I can say they got me back into collecting. Savage deal was only for one figure. If they could have swung multiple looks, they absolutely would have. There have been delays along the way, but those issues are being addressed. Yes, FC could go into greater detail about the problems they’ve faced with their line, but it’s totally up to them to decide how they go about sharing it with their customers. I wholeheartedly believe that the rest of Series 1 will not disappoint. The length of time between releases is neither here nor there for me, personally. I just want the product to come out as good as can be. |

Every three or four weeks, I randomly remember that I ordered the Macho and the Ultimo/Sonny variant pack!

Anyone have any updates on when
Gillberg
Sonny & Ultimo and
Father James Mitchell
Will ship as they seem to be focusing on comedy bang bang and have seemed to shy away from promoting the BCW line.
Like I want a wave 2 line up please

Like I want a wave 2 line up please I was able to reach out and get these updates: -Dragon/Sonny are almost done at the factory. The packaging is being completed now while they assemble Ultimo's figures. Sonny is ready. -James Mitchell production is completed, just waiting on the cards to be finished. -Gillberg needs to be finished painting while the cards are being finished. “In total it should be less than 30 days to completion for all, with ultimo and sonny being done maybe slightly before that, depending on when the packaging is ready.”   |

Can I still order Macho? God, I hope I haven't missed out on that.
I'm also going to need that NWA Jarrett. To me, that was always a big "missing" BCA.
