JC Resurrected

Raven JC landed here too, have to agree the packaging is all sorts of fancy, reminds of me Future Morts' box.

Artoo wrote:I just checked the tracking number for Raven to make sure he's on track for Monday delivery and I see that he's being held at the distribution center in Seattle since Saturday. I'm sure he'll arrive as a puddle of goo come Monday as temps here are in the high 90's low 100's (37-41 C). I hope these new figures aren't like the early 3A figs I have that are still sticky 10 years later.

That shouldn't happen with Raven JC, the material is very nice, hefty, solid and there are no weathering and excessive paint fumes.
Range of articulation is less than 3A bods and ankle is swivel, but everything is super tight so that's a thumbs up for me.

Cool. At least four vets scored!

Looks nice

Yeah this definitely has a different feel to it in hand than past figures. Soft torso, soft shoes, has a good weight to the body with tight joints, it just feels like a well put together figure. When I opened it up and looked inside, I thought he came with a sweet staff, but then quickly realized it was a flexible rod for support. I think this figure would look amazing with a staff now!
I'm just not a fan of the over the top packaging, but that's just me....

Just waiting to receive the tracking numbers and then i'll upload. Sometimes i don't get them until 5am my timezone (PST). Super appreciate everyone's patience

Any news about what’s next?
JC shipping, Isobelle sale ended.
There is a bit of space for some teasing and stuff.

Will we see any new newsletters?
Really loved seeing those.

Shipment notifications with tracking numbers are currently being distributed. It'll take us a few days to get all the orders updated

That's great to hear, thanks Gregory! Very much looking forward to this guy's arrival

Got my shipping info today for the standard releases.

Has anyone had any shipping movement what so ever on JC since receiving their shipping notice from UV????

Nope.

I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet, it still says pending

Raven hasn’t arrived either and as per usual, it is lost somewhere in the Dutch postal system.
Tracking stopped on June 27th in Den Haag.

[edit]
Haven't received a tracking # for Resurrector JC yet.

I am bit worried about Raven JC though which has been untraceable for 2 weeks now.

I'm receiving the tracking numbers in batches. So should get another batch in the next day

There's a delay with the pick up from the courier, they should be picked up by end of week. It's all just taking a lot longer than anticipated

Have the JC’s been picked up yet Gregory?

The answer my friend is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.

I am used to waiting
Currently world wide shipping looks a bit like a mess.
However Dutch PostNL isn't helping because they're keeping my Raven JC hostage for no reason for almost 3 weeks now.
Maybe the new European rules regarding non European goods took them by surprise...
(I am not surprised)

How is this Covid situation playing out in other parts of the world?  I mean what's the percentage rates of vaccination in other parts of the world?  In my neck of the woods in California we have over 50 percent vaccination as one of the leading states, but the rest of the nation is still dragging their feet and we're seeing a resurgence via the variants.  I wonder if this is still playing a part on transportation of goods internationally because on a local level I don't see the effects, but I know when I've ordered stuff from other states, they seem to take longer than what was usual prepandemic. But yeah, I preoccupy myself from the wait by focusing on other aspects of this hobby and/or ordering other figures from other companies.

I don’t know.
Currently the Netherlands is a Covid hell hole.
Our government thought it was okay to open up a full lap before the finishline in early July.
I expect masks will be mandatory again next week.
No that’s bullshit:I hope, I expect our government to do nothing and wait some weeks more before it acts.

The fact postal service seems to deteriorate in the last couple of weeks might have to do with it. On the other hand it is summer period and we have some climate change weather issues in some parts of the country. Which might be an issue in the US as well.
We’ll have to see, but the Delta variant is a pretty nasty 🦠

Due to the virus worldwide, air passenger transport remains very confused. Many air parcel delivery methods use passenger flights to be delivered ... so fewer flights = less space on planes, so more time. Add the new VAT taxation standards in Europe, and this adds a delay, unless the packages sent have been shipped with an IOSS code which indicates that the buyer has already paid the taxes directly to the seller ... (for Underverse, not sure if they sent with a code) let's be patient.

Okay, *most* JC orders should have their tracking number now and email notifications have been sent out. Please check your spam folders or your account history

International shipping is still a mess and there is congestion with certain couriers and the way pick-ups are arranged. There was another delay and they are supposed to be picked up end of week

I’m really trying to be patient!! I just wonder if this is going to push back the shipping of the NOMs this quarter?

Taobao orders are starting to arrive to customers in China, so web orders will be in transit shortly

Raven Boxer JC arrived after being held hostage by Dutch Customs for 5 weeks.

Hefty motherfucker

Looks nice
