@trunks3540 Pretty sure once it's in your pile of loot you've paid for it and they're just warehousing it briefly for you. There's no option to cancel anymore on my POL items anyway. Only when they haven't yet come in for pre-order.

 

Just as a point of clarity -  you can in fact cancel an item that's in your Pile of Loot -  I've done it more than once.  You may just have to accept store credit rather than a refund.

In fact,  if you click on the order and hit the "cancel" button it gives you this message.

"If Products have been added to the Pile of Loot within the last 7 days, refunds will be issued to the original payment method. If more than 7 days have passed, refunds will be issued in BBTS Store Credit."

 

That was clipped directly from my PoL just now.

I finally ordered Sonja. I broke down. But she's in my PoL so I won't be getting her till I ship that which will be later this month since a bunch of stuff is supposed to hit soon. I think I can still cancel the figure till then if I change my mind, but I've been mowing it over quite a bit and decided to do it, so I'm probably gonna keep her.

To each their own, but if it were me I'd wait for Boss Fight Studio to release theirs. I have ER/LC Sonja and I fully expect I'll be unloading her when the BFS comes in.

I'm getting the HACKS one too. But I really like Sonja so I won't mind keeping both.

@panthercult Huh, I'd expected it to have the edit option on the order itself rather than a clickthrough. Never noticed that. Good to know!

I don't know the property of Zombie tramp, though it's obviously adult oriented, but he's making a figure of said zombie for a Kickstarter if you're interested.

I recently cancelled my pre-orders for Cabbot and Bloodwulf for financial reasons, then this gets announced.  I wonder if they'll work a toy deal out.

Loose Collector is expensive, but I am more pumped for these 2 than any comic figures since the Toy Biz days I think.  The production photos showed up in my feed yesterday morning and I can't wait.  Then the Youngblood news!  One of the most frequent comments was for Youngblood figures - how can you do an Extreme toyline and not have them??

 

So I wouldn't be shocked if we see them at some point.  A year or so ago Liefeld basically said Youngblood was dead to him and such, so this is progress.  Wouldn't be shocked if LooseCollector has been trying to license the toys.  I hope so, but at the moment am happy with the first 2 figures.  They are pretty impressive.  Hope you can make it work out moneywise, they will cool as hell on a shelf.

Yeah, knowing Youngblood could be coming does make me want these more.  Maybe I'll stumble into some money over the holidays.  I suspect BBTS won't sell out immediately.

I finally got Sonja from BBTS. Damn I love this figure. Still probably not worth what I paid. But it is pretty fuckin good. I can't wait to get the HACKS one too, but I think they'll both have their strengths and weaknesses. But this has become one of my fave figures I own in the short span of time I've had her, which is interesting cause Lady D and Vampirella are, fine? They're cool but not amazing. This figure is basically the same look but it just feels so much better. 

*edit* and she broke. The chest peg snapped. Hopefully bbts will replace her. I am so sad.

*edit 2* BBTS is sending me a new one. That makes me happy. I really like the figure and hope this one doesn't break. I'm gonna be more careful with her. But at this price, you would think I shouldn't have to. I was just doing the same stuff popping joints like I do ML figures. I didn't know her pegs were more fragile.

Well, just got in my great wolf Dilim...

Hip and thigh swivel on one side were completely frozen solid. I put it in some super hot water for a few minutes, try again and the thigh swivel twists right off. That's... never happened to me before on a figure, and certainly not on one I dropped a C-note for.

I mailed their site, don't know if they're in the habit of doing refunds or replacements but this sucks. Think it'll be my last from them since I'm seeing other folks have similar issues. This one was supposedly delayed for QC issues no less and still this was it straight out of box. The other joints were all fine. Tight, but not absurd. 

Just bummed out at this now. He looks so cool, but I can't help but feel like I was robbed.

 

Edit:

LC did contact me back fast and says they'll be sending a replacement part. Not sure I'll really be able to use that though. I've never done this sort of surgery on a figure. The hip joint is still frozen and I'd need to remove it to fix the bit that busted (not to mention get the torn bit out of the lower leg). -_-

I'll see how it goes and report back, but didn't want folks to think they're non-responsive if you email the website. All things considered I didn't expect a response until Monday and they got back to me within a few minutes.

Sometimes when they say replacement part it just means a new figure to replace the broken one. Some figures come with accessories that they may just send you a new sword or gun if thats what broke, hence the terminology. If it is just the leg or whatever, I would contact them again and tell time you're not an action figure surgeon and can't just pop on and off pieces at will. Also show them how it broke through pics if you haven't already when you respond. Ask them how to do it if its so easy, see if theyll walk you through it. If they have an issue with that, I or someone else here can try and help you fix it yourself. But, you shouldn't have to, they should send you a whole new figure.

And just as a side note, this is one reason I use BBTS. Their CS is top notch. As I mentioned above, they replaced my Red Sonja after it broke. I wanna be sure that if the figure breaks, I can get a replacement easily. BBTS has never done me wrong. They haven't ever dicked around with me. I'm grateful for that.

So I've been eyeballing Purgatori since she's on sale right now. Anyone have her and know if she's any different then lady death quality wise? It seems most of her parts are the same as LD or close to it so I know what I'd be mostly getting into. I'm just worried about breakage and paint rub if there is any.

Can anyone who has the both Executive Rocketeer and Funko Executive Rocketeer figures let me me know if it's possible to put the jetback from the funko on the Executive? I'm just curious to see if a kitbash would be possible because i like the movie jetpack way more than the comic one. Might also switch helmets. Thanks in advance!

@spidey2378 pretty sure the pegs that plug in the back are totally different.
