Well that's it for me even looking at what Bradford puts up.
I expect some changes from the prototype or mockup to the production run. Molds shrink, tweaks have to be made, but this isn't even close.
Just received my Batman standing by computer from them today, not the best and smaller than what I expected, but tolerable. Cuckoo clock I received 3 weeks ago had some flaws and actually doesn't work like a real cuckoo clock, chains don't move. This jumping in Batmobile item , which I have on order is something.
can not believe all figures and such come with a certificate of Auth. and limited to a certain amount of casting days.
What ever that means, 300 made ea. day for 150 days?
Gonna cancel before it gets shipped , hopefully.
Thanks for posting this image of something that looks like a child painted and glued together with glue on they're hands.
Sorry kids!
What timing, after posting here, I went to my Bradford account was getting ready to cancel order, did one final check on my email and what do you know, PayPal authorization. So I guess in a few days I can slowly open a box with one eye closed.
May be one item I do ship back.
Too bad that since these items are shipping, they could at least update the pictures of the items instead of hacked edited picks.
The figures for the old Corgi 'mobile were painted better.
That's a good point about the images advertised vs actual product. It's one thing to have an inaccurate "prototype" or "concept" image months before production, but not updating the image once you're actually shipping strikes me as a case of "bait and switch," and legally actionable.
This is why outfits like Bradford operate via the web and mailers. If they had to sell their wares in stores, where people could see them in person, they'd go broke in a flash.
"You were right again, Batman. We might have been killed."
"Or worse. Let's go..."
There's a crude charm to the Corgi that's lacking here.
It's hard to take a shot at a single photo but when its this bad... I'll be curious to see the actual item from a member. I hope those of you that ordered and decide to send back have no headaches in doing so.
I once spilled enamel paint on a model car's transparent windows. I used turpentine to wipe off the spill - and the windows fogged - and ended up looking like the ones on this Batmobile! Eeeek!
