Yeah FedEx was odd for me too, had to scan my ID barcode and sign. Never had to have my ID scanned for a package before.

New Rumble Vapor variant looks pants.

Yea, kind of disappointed. Not sure we really needed a third of this character.

I also wish they would just show us what the figures come with ahead of time, instead of having to quickly look or just order blindly from FOMO. Think I just answered my own question.

I dig the other Vapors so will definitely check it out tomorrow. That said, I second the annoyance that comes with no advance reveal. Their preorder window seems better lately, but would still be nice to see the full solicit well before it actually goes live.

everyone should flood them with emails complaining about the adult signature with ID when they use that third party to ship from washington.

their fedex how to from their emails has this:

FedEx offers an online service called FedEx Delivery Manager. With this service, you can receive alerts when a package is sent to you, sign for a package remotely, provide delivery instructions, request to hold packages for pickup, and much more.

the only option with the adult signature crap is to have it held somewhere then you have to make a trip to pick it up. never have this problem when they ship from NY. can just print the signature form and leave it for the driver.

Received my second only Mezco figure Conan the Conqueror yesterday, and my right bicep piece was stuck to the upper shoulder piece Like most people's figure. I tried heating the plastic up with hot water microwaved in a coffee cup for a couple of minutes then gently trying to move it or pull it apart and it wouldn't budge. I could still pop the elbow out of the bicep piece so I tried pushing the elbow in and out of socket while it was still soft a hoping that would put pressure on the plastic from the inside then I would squeeze the bicep piece without the elbow in socket, did that a few times. Still stuck at this point so I then got it hot again and then immediately under cold water, back and forth a few times to get the plastic to expand and contract by temperature, still stuck. Next I tried dipping it in hot water and right into the freezer for about 40 minutes. Removed the body and then put it into warm tap water (Never try and move plastic when it's very cold, it'll crack and break the plastic like ice) I couldn't get it to move so back into hot water, then gently pulled and the bicep piece popped off the shoulder piece with a slight tug! Mine is all good now.
I think all that stuff I did over an hour and a half managed to get the pieces apart, it just takes time and patience.

seen anyone mention using a heat gun? i have one and will probably try it if mine is stuck. i had to redirect mine to a walgreens because of that adult signature mess. probably won't pick it up until tomorrow.

Has anyone ever had fedex return to sender to Mezco? I'm not in town now and I gave Fedex instructions to bring it to my leasing office which they keep saying "Unable to make delivery" tomorrow will be their final attempt, I tried to change it to deliver to Walgreens but that isn't working either. If they return to sender is that it? Belongs to Mezco again and I'm SOL ?

I like Vapor as the streetware guy and sort of an homage to 2-D from Gorillaz.

But this? Somebody thought it was a good idea to take the vaguely black guy and go full on 'working the rails that my slave ancestors built'? SERIOUSLY?



You really can't beat how Mezco celebrates Black History Month.

Oh, I thought he was an old timey mob hood from the video.

I wouldn't recommend a heat gun or hairdryer. I feel hot water spreads heat more evenly and deeper than direct hot air. I had an issue with removing a WWE Elite head a few years ago, the hairdryer didn't push the heat deep enough that the head was still too firm around the neck peg causing the neck area to split when I tried to pull it off, I switched back to hot water which is a lot quicker and quieter to get the job done.

I got my Conan today and had the stuck bicep right out of the box. I used hot water and patience to free up the parts. I think the best option is to remove the forearm, then the peg at the elbow and last slide the bicep off the sleeve. Just be careful when pulling down on the bicep because you do not want to separate the shoulder. Also the water needs to be really hot, almost just boiling to get the plastic soft. Just have patience and be prepared for a few hot water soaks for Conan. Also label the pieces so you put everything back in the right place. Looking forward to putting him back together once lubricate the joints.

[Poe Ghostal]

For whatever it's worth, I opened up my Conan just to check the biceps and they were fine. So it's not a universal issue.

My Conan shipped from Mezco and was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but the latest update says "In transit - Doniphan, NE" since Feb. 5th. Anyone else have this issue? NE is Nebraska and I'm in Tennessee which is not that far. I'm worried FedEx is going to screw me again.

Mine stalled in bushnell ne for a few days on the way to Indiana. I just pretend the driver met up with a parking lot pal at a truck stop. They should be here today.
