10 business days after 07/26, it's 08/09 or 08/10, so why it's end of august now? They should give more informations.

2 more months of delay...

Hi guys,
That’s was mistake, the statues should arrive una few days around the 12th or so and then we start shipping immediately... apologies we have literally weeks worth of emails among all three of us and we are replying as fast as possible day and night.
Please be patient, remember there’s things outside our control that make this take longer than expected... however we are still keeping true to shipping before a year has gone by since PO.
We will try to stay within 8 months.

As long as people are kept informed, I think there is no problem. However, I don't understand why the information is always appearing on facebook with the date error. People think it's true and so are unhappy and doubts.

8 months would be perfect but we see with other companies that it's very difficult to hold this deadline.

It is possible, to keep it to 8th months, however be aware that our competitor takes up to 2 years to deliver stuff. I think for a new company we have a decent record. And I anawrae we need more staff to reply to emails, but the inner logistics of running such a small operation do not allow me to hire more people yet.
However I can say that we finally saw a more positive result with this Akuma experiment overall, and that being said now we can start doing a lot more stuff then before.
What do I mean by “experiment” well we saw the difference between making 600 pieces with Ryu and a lot less with Akuma. From now on I will focus on making stuff to order.
That way our runs will be smaller, quality will be even better, and our production lead times shorter.
Our profit will come from contast releases.
Ken for example has been brewing for a while, and we will be releasing him late September.
But we are already working on printing the next 3 characters, so by the time Ken is ready to show we will have 3-4 releases ready to produce as well.

Sounds good man

I don’t think people mind a year for a statue of course faster delivery is also better BUT when company is advertising less than a year it becomes a BIG problem when it isn’t reached. I think the promise by prototype z is what is causing unnecessary conflict. In my opinion it’s just better to advertise 1 year per statue. Ryu took 1 year and akuma same 1 year. If ken takes less than a year that would be great but I think company should say your looking at 1 year for ken from po to in hands this way when 8 months go by people are not complaining why ken isn’t done, why ken hasn’t left China why ken is stuck on a boat etc. once you put a deadline on something it is imperative that it is met especially at Ptz price point.

I want whole line so bring ken on!!!
