Since the other threads are very old, figured we start a new one since there's actually a figure shipping!
I just got her from Amok Time and there are logos for Executive Replicas, Go Hero and Amok Time on the back with Robot Factory.
Overall she would have been a top notch figure if not for some problems (as noted by Robot Factory themselves). They talk about the hands, but it's a far greater problem than implied. The body is standard BBi body, even with the soft chest. But it's made from a plastic that's more brittle than a graham cracker. One of Maureen's hands was loose in the package, broken off at the wrist. Contrary to instructions (see below) I attempted to rotate the wrist on the other hand with virtually no pressure and it also fell off. Now I have spare cool girl/BBi hands all over the place, so this isn't really a huge problem for me, but could be frustrating for others. RF says they will be replacing the hands as soon as they get in stock. She's also missing the stand, but the stand on the first series was practically useless, so no big loss.
But the outfit and sculpt are really great. The paint on the sculpt could be better, but it's definitely recognizable. I had a mini-crush on June Lockhart (and a major one on the girl who played "Judy") so I know her likeness and I think they've captured it. And the attention to detail on what is really a simple costume is admirable. As a 60s space mom, Maureen has a pink sweater with pearl buttons - I'd never noticed this before as it's under the tunic, but that they completely reproduced it shows that RF knows what's important about the character.
The back of the box has Judy, a couple of Dons, another John and the aliens they announced many, many moons ago. So hopefully they'll work out the manufacturing problems and get all of these figures out soon.
I'm on Robot Factory's mailing list and I have to say they've been very communicative about the problems with the figure.
