Matt, now there’s a really nice collection of figures have you thought about a ring to display them in or do you think you’ll stick to just the figures? Loving the line by the way and also your business model e.g. putting your own resources into development, no long waits, great communication, great product etc Ring will be too pricey. So no. VintageFigs1 , I keep thinking about the notion of a Big Rubber Guys ring, and loving it. Similar dimensions to the LJN ring, with combo of nostalgia and, of course, your modern style company branding. The LJN original rings are expensive and hard to find in good condition. Maybe as a crowd-fund/ only progress if enough orders? Please?

VintageFigs1 who are some guys you would like to make as Big Rubber Guys, but are not available? No spoilers of who is coming, of course, more curious about a wish-list of who cannot be made. Thank you!

Or waiting for things to start arriving so they don’t end up like others and have 100 preorders and very few deliverables.

I reached out on the website, because my orders weren’t showing. Kanik responded promptly that my orders are good, and Demolition is on track to be early. I hope that means this month!

I think we’ve beyond proven we deliver. We said months ago andre and macho would be October. So why post about them until they are up for pre-order?

I think we’ve beyond proven we deliver. We said months ago andre and macho would be October. So why post about them until they are up for pre-order? Those last couple of posts of yours have come across as abrasive and I’m not sure why there was a shift. No one said you guys haven’t delivered items in the past or wouldn’t in the future. There was conjecture thrown out that maybe you were waiting to put up the next set of preorders once the other figures were delivered so that you wouldn’t end up like the other companies who have a large backlog. I theorized that you guys were maybe being conscientious of your customers and instead you seemed to take it as an insult? “Why post about them until they are up for pre-order?” Let me ask you this: Why did you share a preview image of that Macho Man? Why post anything about the figures at all until they are available for preorder? The answer should be simple: to generate buzz and hold people’s interest. “We said months ago andre and macho would be October.” Maybe some positive/constructive feedback would help us both here. You said it right there. “We said months ago.” Stop what you are doing and go to your own social media pages. Go to majorpodmerch.com and then come back and tell us where that information is easily available. It’s not. There are a million orders and pre orders and expected delivery dates for all kinds of companies and things do get lost in the shuffle. Your focus is not everyone else’s focus which means sometimes information doesn’t stick unfortunately. Something you guys are really lacking is any kind of tracker. There isn’t a graphic, marquee, crawler, or banner that provides that basic information all in one easy to find place. “This is what is for sale now until XX. This is what is coming up for sale next. And this is what will be delivered soon.” That would be a great thing for some of us to reference and would take a very small amount of effort for whoever does your graphic design/website to update once every 30-60 days.

I’m listening to the latest Major Fig Pod now, and there’s talk about the possibility of Perfect’s Mattel deal coming to an end. I know it’s just theorizing, but if/when that’s true, a Big Rubber Guy of Mr. Perfect would be amazing! He would be “absolutely perfect” for this line… pun intended.

On a scale from Mitch to Zombie (6 hours vs. 6 months) I am going to guess 6 weeks baring anything major (no pun intended). Its possible the recent developing international situation could impact a number of things including shipments. Obviously my heart goes out to the tragic loss of life and suffering above all else.

Very true, despite our shared love for toys, clearly there are MUCH more important things going on. My thoughts are with all families affected by the tragedies in Israel and throughout the world.

Why post about this until it is up for preorder? In all seriousness, I look forward to adding that Andre to my collection. *Also note the chase in navy blue.

This line is a dream come true! Like Demolition, I’d rather get the non-chase, but will be satisfied regardless.

We don’t need to add confusion by having certain things up for pre order while hyping other future things. We don’t need a public schedule for upcoming pre-orders. We focus on one thing at a time.

I had no interest in buying LJN style figures. Now seeing the Demos and Savage/Andre I'm pretty sure I'm going to crack.
