Bastion Booger has been shipped for me now. My Andre, Bundy, Brody, and Sullivan have cleared customs so hopefully get them in the next couple of days.

Received bastion today , will say out of all the zombie releases this is the first figure I will say quality control lacked. There’s paint splatter , under one of his arms , appears to be gouge/ scratches in his butt , the paint from his trunks doesn’t connect between his legs , ( not that his taint will be on display ) also the top part of his stomach doesn’t come out as far as the bottom part does. I looked over my bundy to see if the stomach lined up the same on that , bundy was great top and bottom line up perfectly.. Does anybody else have the same issue regarding the stomach top and bottom lining up evenly?. Hard to describe without pictures. Figure feels rushed. Still a good figure, but from the company that everyone says is the best in the game , shouldn’t have these issues exp paint splatter and scratches.

Interesting, I ordered 2 Boogers, those and my Valentines from TAFKAC are sitting at my PO box, picking up tomarrow, wonder how this booger will be in person after seeing mixed reviews so far.

I think it's clear Zombie has a lot of anger issues; he does not treat people properly. Be glad you're not married to or dating the guy lol. About Mattel leaving money on the table -- I think even if they had access to people like Booger, the Godwins, they'd still choose to do people like Ali and another Hogan first. I think it's a mistake, but it's their choice sadly
I feel like his figures and how he treats customer service and such is all fair game, but it feels a bit not cool to try and bring his loved ones into the conversation. Not trying to start something, but just thought it should be said.
Sorry if it wasn't clear, but that part was a complete joke. I have no idea if he is married or dating someone, and couldn't care less if he was

You guys see Kyle Petterson's Bruiser Brody unboxing on youtube? Stains on the figure from the vest! Sounds like another 2,000? customers could get blocked lol

Got my Boogers today, haven't removed either from package yet, but they look pretty good to me. Not sure if mine will have the issues on the back once I open him.
Also got the Valentine from TAFKAC, really like that one too, certainly better than the Mattel.

Booger just arrived in the UK! Fantastic figure and the card is perfect condition. No complaints at all!

Anyone have an idea if all of the Boogers have been shipped yet? Still haven’t received any updates.

Kyle pointed out on youtube the staining. Funnily enough out of 3 major pod reviews i dont recall hearing about it I literally only just took the vest off my Brody now and noticed some very, very slight staining. It might vary from figure to figure. They've called out Zombie before for the bedside manner, how long it takes figures to arrive and some of the issues folks had with the Danhausen tats. I don't think they're willfully ignoring things - they're not getting paid off this set.

nothing will come of this, these are still "the best quality, premium figures on the market" despite the issues highlighted here (and no doubt the ones people haven't taken to social media to moan about)
I still think it's a joke that Zombie is charging $50 per figure when to date, his figures have never been delivered on time and have issues across the board
yeah, they look good compared to some other companies products, but they're hardly "worth" $50 for what's essentially a mass-produced custom figure

Raven was the only of series 2 I got; have to say i'm very impressed. The look of it is fantastic, and the jacket is very high quality with a crisp and sturdy card.

Picked mine up today. Pretty happy overall, they look awesome but Brody has the same staining as others and Bundy can be difficult to balance. Looking forward to a MWFP video on balancing Bundy, the same as with Adam Bomb.

Got my Brody in the other day. I've wanted and waited for a toy-version of Brody I could get behind and damn Zombie did not disappoint. I did replace the chain with one from Michaels - 4mm Gunmetal Nickle, I think it looks better:

All that extra time and this is the packaging design? Man, ZST is usually above the rest in most ways but this one feels off. Just too busy for my tastes but hopefully MOC collectors dig it. http://instagram.com/p/CzUGBOfpi83
