So I cleared up my AmiAmi payment snafu by switching to PayPal, and right after they charged me for him and Mark 50 Iron Man the order got delayed due to this recall. What a roller coaster ride of an order.
At least this time it isn't an AmiAmi problem now that you guys shared Hobby Search and probably the rest are in the same boat.
Did you actually get a message from amiami about the delay? I still haven't gotten one and I'm hoping I do.

Yes I did at 1:10 AM EST this morning. This is what they sent quoted below. I thought they were referring to they were packing up the last Batman and noticed it was broken in the box, but now I'm guessing they were referring to this recall. Glad I read the thread this morning because for a few hours I was fuming over "ANOTHER AMIAMI PROBLEM ALREADY?!?!?!", but now I'm glad it isn't at all their fault this time. I was actually about to try to cancel the order before I said "meh, let me post in the thread about it before I do" and saw all this recall talk, then saw that the other retailers also yanked him off their sites.

Oh no. Amiami charged me on Friday and still hasn’t shipped. They never delay like this. I wonder if mine is affected by the recall. This figure is just struggling to be released
Mafex Catwoman now in stock at BBTS.

Shit. AmiAmi also sent me an email informing me there will be a delay for my order of The Batman. I ordered two. So close.
Kind of sucks how they can just keep the money indefinitely without forking over product. Who knows how long this will take?
Somehow my HLJ order shipped out before the recall. Wasn’t quite as lucky with my AmiAmi.
Already shipped mine from HLJ, but also didn't hear anything from them about a recall. Unless they somehow send an interception task unit to retrieve it from Fedex it should arrive next week lol.
Finally got a message from AmiAmi specifically about the recall:

Copying my post from the "on sale" thread for whoever might be interested (credit to Preternia on Twitter):
Heads up - Deep Discount has a sale on Mafex Huntress. She's down to $55, and you can use the code LEAVES for 15% off.
I couldn't pass her up at this price.
Finally! Hush Superman reissue: https://toynewsi.com/277-50209
Managed to get Catwoman at Hobby-Genki, so holding out that they'll put him up in the next day or two as well. Probably going to grab Steel and the other Return of Superman figures now too instead of waiting on the inevitable 90s mullet-Supes to go with that collection.
Unquestionably the best Superman figure ever made.
Unquestionably the best Superman figure ever made.
Without a doubt.
Hoping the recent Superman and Catowman re-stocks means we will be seeing some more older figures getting a re-stock coming up.
Glad to see some reissues show up! I wonder if they will also do either Blue or Gray Hush Batman
Hush Ivy is meant to be shipping in November right? (although guessing it will be at least Dec/Jan?)
