Frazetta Girls ICON figures

Sorry to hear that AdamBomb, that sucks. I pre-ordered mine from bombusbee.net and it showed up like a month ago Hopefully some more show up at other retailers.

I received my regular version from Frazetta Girls yesterday too and opened him up last night - damn, Im impressed! He feels improved over their Dark Wolf (which was already a great figure). I have him next to the Savage Crucible Warrior w/Ball & Chain at the moment, and he really looks incredible. Aesthetically speaking, he's actually a nicer looking figure - but definitely falls behind the warrior in terms of articulation, he definitely stands much better due to having tighter ankle joints though.
 
Wife brought me my Conan from the porch, worried about what I got from "Frazetta Girls". After an explanation of who Frank Frazetta was and his family's business...I got to open the package. He is terrific. Happy to see the double knee joints. Sculpt and paint are perfect. My only complaint thus far isn't even that big a deal- I just wish that the hair piece was softer plastic to allow more ROM for his neck/head. Otherwise, I can't find any nits to pick.

Did you get a cancellation email or a partial refund email? I got a partial refund on the shipping on mine. I freaked out when I saw the title of the email because I hadn't waited to get the second payment request email from them. and just used the 2nd payment page to pay for it.

If it WAS cancelled, I know Nerdzoic and EmpireToyShop had the regular version in stock, and might be worth a look.

I got two separate emails a few days apart, one for the shipping refund and then the second for the figure cancellation/refund. I've been ordering from 5K for years and this is the first issue I've ever had so that's something I suppose. Slightly bummed because I like the DJ version better than the standard, but whatever. Thanks for the heads up on Nerdzoic & Empire.
 
Got my Conan. He's pretty great. You can have most of his accessories on him, except you have to chose between the shield or one of the axes. A very good figure overall.The hair really kills head movement though, and i dont like the helmet, so its ehat im stuck with. I'm gonna get the Heroic Signatures too, because the hair is more my mental image of Conan, and it'll be able to actually look around better, but this is a good figure.

I actually warned my GF about the name on the box last time I got something from them. "It's a family biz run by the artist's daughter and granddaughter!" Of course in the box was... Teegra, but there's no need to talk about that.
 
Funny, after talking about how it's a family run business and how great they are - I got an email today about my Conan order apologizing that there had been an error that occurred when they switched over their site that caused an inaccuracy in their available stock, so my figure is delayed. I assumed it was a mass email, but it was literally just to me, from Sara, and didn't just let me know about the delay but offered either a full refund or to swap out the figure for one of their Asian exclusive versions (sword, helmet, and shield are a little bit different), or if I would be okay with waiting about 40 days for the restock. I don't think I've ever had a company offer me MULTIPLE solutions I'd be happy with before and they really didn't have to go the extra mile. I think literally every other company would've been like sorry, you gotta wait.

Anyway, they continue to impress the hell out of me by proving to be humans behind the website and by actually caring personally about the folks who are buying stuff based on Frank's legacy. Really lovely folks.

(For the record, I assumed they might offer the replacement figure to a bunch of folks and I said I'd be happy to wait if they ran out of the alternate, but Sara said she had one in hand she'd mail out. I'm just blown away by how good they are at taking care of their customers. I hope they have a long successful run at this, cos they deserve it.)
 
I’ve still got no movement on my Conan. Wonder if there’s something up with my orders since Vampirella was pretty much ignored. I never started an account at FG, even though I can trace my orders by my email. Might have to reach out on social again.

Try reaching out. Might be something to do with your not having an account. Like I said above, my Conan was ABOUT to be delayed and they reached out to me personally.
 
They already shipped my alternate copy today. I do think any customer service hiccups they have stem from them LITERALLY being a family shop and not having a significant staff. The number of us who have had direct interactions with Sara really indicates how much work they do themselves by hand. Which frankly makes what they do accomplish all the more impressive.
 
So now I got the same email @docsilence got, seemed like a mass email. Notified of delay, given choices of Asian exclusive, wait 40 days for stock to come in, or take the refund. I don’t want the refund but I’m torn on the other two options. I don’t know the differences between what I ordered and the Asian exclusive. Anyone know where photos are available? Any recommendations either way?

Update: I picked the Asian exclusive. I like the straight long sword, indifferent about the helmet and shield differences.

I'd definitely go with the Asian exclusive if given a choice. I personally like the helmet and sword much better in that one.
