Pretty soon we will find GameStop pushing "action figure cleaning kits" on people who buy figures with the tagline "that figure gets an extended warranty when you buy a cleaning kit!"

The only shittier company to exist was FuncoLand, and GameStop absorbed them into their holdings decades ago.

It’s probably better to keep these adult collectibles in the package. Nevertheless, we are all different and some adult toy collectors do want to take them out of the package and pose them. I’m sure DC Collectibles has heard that complaint before many times.

Ok so on Mikey as Batman the orange bandana is easy to damage
As they hand down aroun his neck/chest do not bend them in anyway as they may break. Other than that this figure is rocking

So checked today. Apparently GameStop corrected for charging me for the whole set. I had thought the whole thing was supposed to ship at once. As goofed up as they can be though. I'm alright with each set coming when it comes in.

Did you order them all individual or the bundle? I have the bundle and I’m confused as to what’s going on with them since they have the first two as “order received” I was expecting they would all ship out in December

I ordered the bundle. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the bundle was supposed to ship when all items came in. I guess they changed their minds. That is actually Ok with me. It seems to be treating it the same as any multi-item order.

Mine swap really easily. Be gentle and you’ll be fine.

90% of my figures are to display. NECA Mondo DC Collectable you name it, its coming out the box. Especially these, since the scale is perfect and get lost in the packaging. I'm guna superglue or hot glue it, wish me luck lol.

My initial order got cancelled 4 or 5 days ago, I put in a new order immediately for the bundle and it has legit has said on the Raph and Leo packs they will process in 24 hours ever since. I called customer service, waited like 45 minutes for someone to tell me, "yea just keep wait, they process 24 hour" and then I say "They have said that for over 4 days." "Yea but it say they process in 24 hour." Guess what... that was 24 hours ago and they still say processing *rolls eyes*

I effing hate their website. If you're going to give someone exclusive rights to someone, make sure their website isn't a joke.

Yes the same thing is going on with me, they said the card was declined on my first order but it’s still showing in my PayPal as an order to merchant. Hoping my second one goes through.

Yea, I was savage in my response. Fair and objective, but brutal nonetheless.

Hot water. I would recommend softening the hands before putting on the weapons to avoid paint rubs.

I am so done with GameStop. So my Leo and Batman set was cancelled, which was fine because I was notified and had time to re-order and I even managed to get a cheaper price.

I kept checking my second large order containing Raph and Robin, Donnie and Batgirl and Mikey and Alfred repeatedly and all seemed fine. The one day I see that the second order was indeed cancelled, but only by checking directly, as I never received an e-mail for that order having been cancelled. I was mad about this because the Raph/Robin set is no longer available on the site...at least for now. I went ahead and paid a few more bucks through a seller on Mercari because I want every turtle set in this release.

I have not re-ordered Donnie and Mikey because now the shipping is far more pricey for these pre-orders than it was previously.

Ugh, I just wish these sets had been available through another merchant. GameStop has no clue what they are doing.
