Well, thanks for the info, guys. Guess I'm not alone. Hopefully my stuff will actually move soon.
It's especially annoying with this wave that was so much more expensive than usual, plus the relatively high shipping costs that MTS charges. The least they could do is ship it out in a timely manner.
That review was brutal.... but also, likely pretty fair. Getting two of the same body part in a 4 figure BAF would be maddening. Mismatched hand sizes - how does that even come up? Like, parts re-use, I get it... but don't reuse hands from two different figures that aren't the same size... that's crazy
I'm going to just be glad I didn't bite the bullet and pay the $160 plus shipping for this wave just for the Monitor and be content with my DC Collectibles version
Best Buy seems to be accepting orders for Wonder Woman, for the moment. May be worth a try:
EDIT: Sold out, now.
Just to follow up on this: I did indeed get a Wonder Woman for retail out of this.
It was a bit weird, though. I was scheduled for pick up tomorrow, but I got a cancellation email around 3pm today. No sweat; it seemed too good to be true anyway. However, I looked at the item page on the Best Buy website again to double check, and it said they had one available at my local store. Not sure if it was mine from the cancellation or what. Anyway, I placed another pickup order for that one, and twenty minutes later they were handing it to me in the store.
I had 2 fully in stock orders that I ordered from McFarlane Toy Store in very early December that did not actually ship until very late January. I think that they're struggling a bit. However, in fairness I just very recently had the Crisis on Infinite Earths wave arrive from them quicker than any experience that I'd ever had with them previously.
@ninjak You forgot about my Wonder Woman post back in Dec on how it's the exact same situation? No updates for 3 days. Then they shipped it with usps ground advantage instead of the priority I paid for. It's either them not having the packages ready or the shipping companies not picking them up daily.
To be fair, most smaller retailers don't have daily pickups for every shipping service. It's usually one, maybe two days a week when a particular shipper will come and pick pallets of freight up.
I just can’t believe that the COIE wave is $40 a pop on Todd’s site, while this Page Punchers wave is released at retail. To me, imo only, speaking only for myself, it’s madness. I don’t get it. I’m not even tempted by the PP wave, but I would’ve bought the entire COIE wave for the regular price.
I guess I didn’t realize until seeing the video but the Monitor looks a little…off. I really like the texturing and detail on the black/silver parts of the mold (enough to forgive that the black portion should be navy blue) but it looks a bit tacky on the bright gloves/cape. Plus the snarl isn’t quite how I imagine the Monitor looking. He’s usually drawn with no pupils and a very calm/stoic expression. Really happy with my DCD Monitor.
Probably would have been in for these at $25 each though. Would have been worth a head swap for Monitor and some paint.
Very nice.
Okay, I'll pick that one up since it's my preferred look. And then I think I've got enough of a hodgepodge Justice League that I can be satisfied and drop this line (until they give us a classic Darkseid)
We're getting extremely close to having the JLA #1 team.
Painted on scales for JLA Aquaman is 2020 Marvel Legends levels of lame.
Is that Superman Blue on the same page punchers buck they just reused for ‘classic’ Superman? I only ask because if the cuffs on the wrists look the same. But the shins looks different. Is this a new body?
Either way I will buy these, because 90’s.

Humongous oversized fists confirms the arms. Body looks like Blue Beetle again.
