Conan finally has a shipping label but FedEx has some mad beliefs in their delivery skills. It has an expected delivery date of Saturday the 4th. Don't see it making it from one coast to the other in 2 days. I already know it will be Monday or Tuesday at the earliest.

Perhaps I lucked out this time with FedEx.

Notified yesterday that my Conan will arrive today so I had it held at a location fully expecting another 2 day delay.

Got it no issues at all.

Fife, WA to OR. Got a goodie pack from there as well.

Yeah, I complained about FedEx, but my POL is out for delivery a day early. Even crazier, BBTS shipped my ten piece POL on the same day as my request.

I’m in OR as well — whenever it ships from Fife from Mezco I get it next day guaranteed, every time. Only like a three hour drive from me.

It’s one reason I prefer Fife over Long Island even with the ID thing (which I needed with Conan as well). Long Island takes forever to ship then takes another week and a half to get to me.

My Conan finally shipped. Took a while, but I'm pretty excited having seen some reviews. Looks like an amazing figure. Can't wait!

If you got it direct from Mezco email Mezco customer service they’ll fix you up
Once that’s done you could try heating up a (boiling water submerge the bicep to the articulation point for about 30 seconds ) and pull it straight out look for any excess material from the mold on the peg or in the hole clear that out cool the peg reheat the hole and reassemble
Best of luck

My Conan came today. I wish they would've updated the elbows from the last one but he's still a great figure. Outside of that, the only thing I don't much like is the cloaks -- both are a bit too big and don't really seem to sit well on him; the brown one's rope tie is also kinda crap. The shirt and skirts, though, are really nice. Love the wind-swept haired headsculpt; wish they would've done what they're trying with Solomon Kane and allowed you to swap the hair pieces and helmet between heads. The necklace with the bird skull on it is much better painted than the first Conan's, think I'll swap them. Overall he's a really great figure -- going with the fully clothed look for now to differentiate him from the original Conan. Wish I could get the brown cloak to look good on him.

The 'adult signature' thing was weird. The delivery guy didn't require a signature, just my name and DOB.

Completely fused biceps on my Conan as well.

Cmon Mezco, these issues weren’t present in the first release.

Maybe a lower contact alternative for the delivery driver? I had a new PC shipped to my house by my company that had a signature requirement and the guy basically said "screw it" and didn't even bother. I was surprised I didn't hear from any of the guys in IT since FedEx also didn't mark it as delivered until days later.

Got Conan today. What an amazing figure!

First let me say the left arm bicep is stuck on mine. Hot water didn't work, so I'll freeze him, but his shirt needs to dry first. My main nit is his shirt isn't removable and I wish there was a way for him to wield the shield and hold a weapon in each hand. But other than that...

Damn!

I love how dark and weathered his skin is. Conan is a constant traveler and he looks like it. All 3 head sculpts are just amazing! His weapons are perfect for his era, and the bendy wire in the mace is so damn cool for posing. I've only got to play with him for about half an hour before tackling his bicep, but provided I get that fixed, he'll be one of my favorite figures.
