Have a great vacation!

Right now he's still estimated to start shipping between June and July. I don't have a specific week/date that he's estimated to port in the U.S. at this point.

The U.S. work ethic is so far different then other parts of the world for sure.

Also,
Any idea as to how many Premium Formats will be shown/up for PO at this year's SDCC?
I just want an idea of what I'm in for.
Thanks!

Around 13/14 PFs possible for the show but very few of those will be up for Pre-Order...most will be announcements/previews for SDCC.

Some countries had adjustments but I can't recall which ones off the top of my head. I just know some were adjusted.

isn't it just a matter of adding the light up feature and engineering the wiring? if adding the wiring for the lightsabers as you guys have done in the past is becoming an issue (not working returns). why not have the light sabers light up like they do for the Hot Toys light sabers? where the battery is in the hilt of the saber itself. no wiring or jacks to plug into. and it's juts a matter of pushing a button on the sabers. could this be a possibility? if Hot Toys can do it for a 1/6th scale figure i would think you guys could figure out a way to do it for the premium formats.

Many light-up features are engineered/added during the production of a piece. Adding light-up features does involve adding the wires in (by re-engineering how the wires would run through a piece to it's connection points. So this can sometimes mean a different key system has to be done, hollowing out areas have to be done, etc).
Adding light-ups will occur if it's possible...especially for items with light sabers.

Yes, batteries will be supplied.

If an item is Pre-Ordered as a full payment Pre-Order it would be paid off in one payment.

With the last minute cancellation of your attendance on Power-Con, the absence of MotU items on SDCC and even the exclusive variants of the MotU statues being not sold out yet, are there even more MotU statues in development or is Evil-Lyn the last one?
|
There are more in development but probably would not be done/available for Pre-Order in 2017.
