Blitzway - Mask of Zorro - Zorro Collectible Figure

[xipotec]

Now that I know it has a neck I can say not as good as the prototype but as others have pointed out it is consistent with the drops in Proto to Production with all of the Blitzway figures that I own...Carlito, the two Tylers, and the 4 Ghostbusters and those are still 7 of my absolute favorite figures. I think if I were a fan of the movies I would be happy to own this figure.

I agree. The fallout over Hannibal was incredible.

While the falloff was typical for BW, another typical is they always look way better in hand and on display.

BW figures just do not photo well.

I think this is a figure that will be easily available when it?s released so I will wait for more in hand pics/ videos before I make my decision but I do not agree with it being almost $300. I say $230 tops

Again a bad picture but the unmasked H.S looks nothing like the prototype.

 

[Stryker2011]

Considering that the unmasked prototype bore absolutely zero resemblance to Antonio Banderas, that’s not really a bad thing. This one, despite its flaws, looks more like him at least. The short neck thing is weird, however.

Jon Deak addressed that issue after posting his video. It was because he hadn't futzed the puffy shirt. He showed a photo of the futzed figure with a proper looking neck.

I have no idea why companies trust him with early production figures to review, as he does more damage than good in not even attempting to make figures look their best.

Even though there is a neck in there somewhere something is still very off about the whole head, neck, torso area. I think the head is disproportionately large and that is adding to the neckless issue. Head is too big for the body. $300 for this...?

Yeah it kinda feels like they switched to a different body between proto and production, and one that doesn't work nearly as well.

Doesn't look off to me. Seems we now know if it's worth getting.

Looks pretty good to me too.

KG Hobby are using an alternative to Hong Kong Post and will be sending theirs out soon. I've seen reports that retailers have been using the Ebay shipper, Orange Connex, so it could be them. So at least the Fox should be on the move, and not costing EMS rates.

i keep my preorder for this Zorro, he's good here.

Yes KHhobby send me Jon Snow with other shipping method (not EMS) i think is Speedpak (not sure) but in the tracking it's writing "Orange Connex", i don't know this shipping method.
I'm just hoping that i will not have custom charge... because with his standard shipping i never had

Yes, Orange Connex is known as SpeedPAK on Ebay. I've had Ebay deliveries from China using them, and they've arrived as normal and get delivered by Royal Mail.

How much extra are these other services? KG wanted $50 for shipping through Fedex for my Jon Snow, compared to their usual $25 economy. And now they're giving me the same option for Zorro.

So I'm debating if I really want to pay that, or just wait for economy shipping to come back later. Since this figure is already expensive enough as it is! Lol

Finally a decent shot of this. The masked head and overall proportions are looking a whole lot better there.

They sent me the invoice last night. Postage is usually a little more than the quote when ordering, and this time it was $HK 40 more, which is a little over $5 US.

Total postage is $HK 280, which is around $36 US.


But this is to the UK. Not sure whether they can offer SpeedPak to the US at present.

Yep...looks like Blitzway did get it right. All of the neckless and proportion problems were a combination of bad posing and bad photography. Still not sure why Blitzway is charging $300 for a $240 figure (I would put it at $220 but will bump it up a bit for the extra headsculpt) but if I were a fan of these Zorro films, price aside I would be happy with this figure in my collection.

Figure looks pretty good here so maybe it?s just a futzing issue

It costs $280, not $300.

It's $300 + in total depending on where you buy it. If your getting it from KGhobby it's going to be $300 + whatever shipping option you get which would raise the price.

I don't care what your shipping costs are. I was replying to this.

Blitzway is charging $300

Blitzway is not charging $300.
