@casimir I had originally had them on preorder and also ended up canceling for a while for pretty much the same reasons and then I saw they had sold out and the FOMO kicked in and I started stalking the sold out product pages. I had assumed they'd be readily available for a while and I could pick up one or two when I didn't have other more pressing figures to buy, which I still think will happen. I think BBTS gets in a couple of shipments because right now after filling the first they just say "Preorder Sold Out" and not "Sold Out" like some of the older stuff says.
I also have 9 reindeer on order. Now, along with my 6 Joe Classified wolves, I can have a pack of wolves hunting in Alaska. I'm just waiting on my Mystic Legions Bodvar to have a bear fighting with the wolves. Action figure collecting at its finest. 👍
@thewyldman I can't wait. I'm ready to jump on that one. I love these animals.
Got mine today. They are currently posed in a reindeer conga line because why not. These guys are ridiculously fun and much more poseable than I imagined they would be.
I have one of each of the reindeer, the goat, and a goat saddle (for some reason) on the way to me. I have a feeling I may get another 5 to complete the team. I'm kinda tempted to get a zombie reindeer to use instead of a Comet, as it pairs well but it just different enough for some more variety (Robo showed it off in his video review).
Black Phillip—er, “Gorgon the Goat” should arrive today, and I am ready to LIVE DELICIOUSLY.
Seriously: years and years from now when I’ve forgotten most of the toys from this time, that demon goat will still be on my desk.
Prancer and Comet both currently in stock. Dasher and Donner still listed as pre sold out.
I very reluctantly had to cancel my initial Dasher and Donner preorder when I got the email due to lack of funds at the time. But I’ve got my cash now so I’m hoping they’ll pop up again. I did grab a Prancer just in case though.
9 reindeer and the extra head set, plus 2 goats to go with the Gremlin King, plus a Zombie reindeer (to go with Zombie Santa, Elves and Nutcrackers), plus two more reindeer to put the saddles on (for Barbarian Santa and Northern Santa), all arrived today.
They look great, wish they had a little more range of motion in the neck.
I just moved, and after putting a ton of toys in storage as I work my way through that to a manageable collection, I admit to both happiness and some regret to get more things delivered. But this is one of my all-time favorite lines at this point - will get the Santas and elves and nutcrackers out of storage this weekend and see how it all looks together.
I just ordered Prancer and the last Comet. FOMO hit big time. I had only intended on getting JUST ONE reindeer. As I was checking out, I debated getting the saddle and head pack. Caving on just Comet was enough for me.
@normdapito Glad I saw your post. I was able to get Prancer. I think I just need one reindeer.
It's weird to think we wouldn't get a re-do of the whole team at some point, but it occurs to me if they wanted they could treat reindeer a little like the Santa re-issues and, when the sleigh comes out, do a single reindeer that's a specific Rudolph variant (maybe make his head out of transparent red plastic and paint everything but the nose or do a variant sculpt so the nose is a bit more like the stop motion movie). That way folks who are just jumping on board with the sleigh late in the game have at least one reindeer to pull it.
Seems like a reasonable way to play it. Like one Deluxe reindeer with a Rudolph head, a basic head, and maybe the Rottenhoof head to round it all out. I dunno, at the very least it feels like they'll have to do a second wave of the reindeer at some point, but I could see this as a good mid ground in case sales aren't super strong. You do have to like Christmas an awful lot to go on for a Santa, a sleigh, and the whole team.
