Basically this company has a bunch of old licenses and is making action figures out of them. They had a 1.5 month preorder for Madballs figures, currently in the middle of preorders for Barnyard Commandos.
I preordered two of the Madballs. Have no interest in Barnyard Commandos. Super interested to see what they have to offer for Clayfighter. Mild curiosity for Earthworm Jim, sort of interested in Battletoads.

I ordered from them and had no issues, it was only once though, it was mike and raph turtles in time, they had the figures in stock weeks before BBTS, so i canceled a preorder with BBTS, and got the figs with mega.

That's...very ambitious. A lot of what they're doing is very ambitious for a small new company. I hope they can actually pull it off, cause it sounds right now like too much ambition and not enough experience/responsibility.

It's not their only business, they run one of the biggest online toy stores, and personally know many small toy companies and sculptors, such as Boss Fight and 4H, and are having their toys distributed thru online retailers such as BBTS. The Madballs thing and Barnyard Commandos were cool and all, but
Battletoads is kinda like the main event that everyone's been waiting for them to reveal, and they said it'll be revealed in the next few weeks.

I hope the Earthworm Jim figures are as varied as the Playmates ones and they do lots of characters.

>>8467452
It might help to know what in stock figures you're talking about, if you had pre-ordered them, and how long in between when you emailed them? A day? A week? And if you tried their facebook? I've ordered in stock toys from them and gotten them with-in a few days. However I have a pre-ordered figures from both them and BBTS and had them take some time to ship to me when they were already in stock.

>>8469171
I've never experienced any lengthy shipping with them except on a pre-order, that's why I asked the other anon what they ordered and if it was pre-order?

Since they’re doing four standard size figures in the first wave and two spots are already taken by Porka Pig and Skellington Bones, that means we won’t be getting all three Toads right away. Rash is surely getting in, so I’m betting they’ll choose Pimple over Zitz.

Reading the comments, it's all fags whining that their orders were late because of Covid, and then bitching that Megalopis wouldn't let them cancel a large order for $200 that they pre-ordered, and wanted them to 15% fee for ordering something then waiting months to cancel.

Also bitching about how the figures arrived with QC issues for some GI Joes, Ghostbusters which is out of their hands

>"I got the first waves of ghostbusters plasma series and go joe classified from them...came early with QC issues out the ass. Plus delays on other shipments. DONE WITH THEM"

Literally sour grapes from autistic retards.

It doesn't take an insider or a genius to know that Power Rangers toys are obviously still making money.

Japanese websites ban you from doing business with them for doing it. You're basically committing to buying something, which is either being processed already, or being made to order based on a pre-order number, and then not paying for it. You're taking money out of their pocket for your shenanigans.

Likely when they made the preorder there was the condition of putting money down and then paying the rest when the product was delivered. You see that whenever there's a really big, expensive product, since the company has to shell out a lot of money to buy stock, they don't want to buy more than they need to.

Again, marking up costs is not a fucking scam. They're not lying to you or conning you, their price is simply higher.

What's more, its not even like they do that consistently. I've bought a fair amount of stuff off there and in general the mark up is like 5% or roughly equal to the costs of shipping from overseas.
