I'm not trying to be THAT guy, but one thing I will say is that the word "idiot" was used in the exact same way as the "R" word as a medical term, along with "moron, cretin, and imbecile." But those words have stuck around pretty casually while the "R" word has been crucified. It can also be legitimately used to describe a situation that has gone awry, rather than a person and their mental state. Again, not sticking up for Sal or anything, as he's a jackass,.and I don't know in what context he used the word, but I'm just playing devil's advocate. 🤷 Just to make it clear: you guys don’t use any word that ends with tarded anymore? Good to know as this was a common word in school. Thanks for clarification. I'm personally not offended by words, but that's just me. I feel that the power given to words is far too great, and that context is always key. |

so his "statement" is basically no update since he did an interview last weekend, as the figures still (according to his statement) haven't arrived yet.... but in the interview last Saturday (7th Oct) he said they would be arriving Monday/Tuesday (so the 9th/10th) and yet he posts an story update on IG (3hrs ago) to say he's not got them yet honestly, there's no way I could ever support this scammer in future

According to Sal’s timeline as shared in 3POA, he was supposed to get the figures on Monday or Tuesday which he did. He says they are in according to his IG story (I think you misread that part). In the interview, Sal said he was going to take several days to check over the shipment before sending figures out to people. If I recall, the plan was to start shipping them out this weekend. His update on IG says that people should be expecting their tracking info next week. Still pretty vague and somewhat upsetting that he isn’t able to at least start shipping orders this week. |

but it's not upsetting or surprising, he's got a real job don't you know?? Rush isn't important to him, it's like a sideline he's slightly invested in, but his real job is where he's focusing his time
I dunno..... if he was running a real business, he'd have employed someone to do it for him. but it's not a real company, it's like a pet project that never got off the ground

It’s a side hustle that he wants to make into a full time thing but he isn’t willing to risk everything for that. Understandable but irresponsible.

No news to report other than I updated the format to the first page. The original interview is still at the bottom.

If he’d have posted a picture proving he received the shipment that would have been a step in the right direction. I don’t believe he received one. Dude has no credibility.

This is all I have at this time but I did reach out to him earlier for some updates. I also commented on this screenshot right before I posted it here:  |

I don’t know what that’s a pic of… it doesn’t look like cases of figures though

Let us know. I was hoping to get information from him yesterday without having to go back and listen to that entire interview. Sal instead decided to give me the runaround and then left my last message on read. This wasn’t something I was being disrespectful about and thought for sure he would understand my intent is to create awareness of his products…but he treated me very differently than the image he tried to create in that interview. I was considering giving him a second chance with the Monster Masters but our short exchange is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

My jonah that he advertised as extra stock in hand the first week of august finally shipped. Im guessing whatever jonahs he had leftover he actually sent to jonah himself and these mysterious 240 that he was shorted were his entire inventory that he himself was waiting on. Anyways, it finally shipped.

Got a Jonah today through the secondary market. The figure is pretty cool, better than i thought in terms of quality based on what i’ve read/heard. A few bits were the paint has stuck to the bubble but that doesn’t really worry me- i will touch it up with a bit of paint. Overall pretty good figure in my opinion!
