Damn, I was able to get Hardy but couldn't land that Hogan. Does anyone know if that butterfly joint will be fixed with better range of motion (ROM)?

My hardy in the UK says it’s gonna be released TODAY. Delivery estimate is Sep 8th.
These amazon dates are tentative. We just saw Warrior get moved up to Nov and HHH to Feb. I can almost guarantee it won’t be an entire year wait for Hulk.

absolute ZERO communication between distributor and retailer.. so according to Steve , theres a second production run, on this round of preorders? so the limited pre-orders that went up intially was a small run... this makes zero sense. why would you have such limited runs on these 2 figures...lol smh. These big retailers don't know the difference between hulk hogan and a pack of hot dogs, it's just another sku to them. That's understandable though. They have the same skintone and both are chock-full of artificial chemicals and substances. |

Look, as someone who works with international factories and merchandise on a daily basis, this incredibly late shipping issue isn't all that surprising. We're all just going to have to wait.
In a post-COVID world, factories all over the world are constantly shutting down due to infection with no real warning. It just happens one day and you're left sitting there without another course of action outside of attempting to find another factory, and that would take much longer (and be far, far riskier from a quality perspective) than waiting on the now-insanely-backed-up factory to reopen and ramp up again. It's not ideal, but it is what it is. Obviously I can't confirm that's the issue here, but I bet you that's what the factory has blamed all their delays on directly or indirectly. Shipping is all sorts of messed up right now, too. It's always the reason given for a delay now, whether it actually is or not. You're at the mercy of the factory in a lot of ways when it comes down to it.

Hulk Hogan trying to get an early start on moving merch in 2022, brother.  August of 2022 isn’t necessarily an early start. |

My Hogan now says coming September 19... 2022. I am guessing that changes and it comes sooner, knowing Amazon's delivery estimates tend to be all over the place.

Jeff getting delayed for a year is a little "extreme!" I'll see myself out thanks. Hogan getting delayed for a year makes you question what Mattel is gonna do. I’ll see myself out brother |

My Hogan still says August 3rd (2021), but the original expected date was October 6th, so I'm thinking/hoping that's still the expectation. We'll see, of course.

I doubt it’ll take a year for this Hogan and Jeff to be made. Amazon usually has some wonky release dates with items being released sooner than later at times.

I think if we are getting the figures from a new production run, we’ll get the figures next year, but not a full year out. Super 7 has said that a replenishment run takes them about 4 months. Let’s assume Mattel can swing that under normal circumstances. Add on pandemic related delays, let’s call it 5 or 6 additional months. Even all that isn’t a full year. I think Amazon is throwing out a date further out as a safety net. Pretty often, when I preorder figures from Amazon, the actual release is well before the ETA. |

I want this figure this fall and not next year. What a disaster. It was said a few weeks ago that not even half of the production run was sold! Now, after 100 years, Hogan went live and now we have to wait til next year? I have ordered 30x Hogans. My customers are waiting. |

Wouldn't it be funny if they shipped out this fall and everybody got all out of sorts over nothing?

My customers are waiting. I want the figure in the fall too, but there are very real shipping issues going on right now. It’s out of control right now. As of a couple days ago, there were 40+ container ships stuck by California waiting to get into port and unloaded. This is all still aftermath of the pandemic. There’s more ships, carrying more containers, with less workers to unload them. Everyone is still trying to get back on track. |

No credit stealing intended, so if you follow our friend WWE Retro Stars on Twitter, it seems some Italian Amazon users are getting their Hardy’s shipped 🤯  |
