Yeah, it really isn't much to ask for better communication. eFX really kind of stinks at it. A monthly update even if it's 'still working on approvals' is better than dead silence.
As for the Mk 42 helmet, that gold plating it terrible. It looks nothing at all like screen used gold in the armor.
The gold plating was on the mk7 helmet. The 42 was just a raw 3d print.
Then again it's been nearly 13 months since I pre-ordered Hot Toys' 1/4 scale TDKR Batman and I still haven't received that. They don't answer questions on their website, Facebook page, or emails though. At least you get some information from EFX from time to time...
You know, last year when they started accepting pre-orders for the Avengers Mjolnir, I was pretty tempted to join in 'cos I felt that it was a better version of the hammer (than the one offered after the first Thor movie), and partly because I didn't think the upcoming movie would change the look again. Now, I'm glad I didn't pre-order 'cos, yes, they changed the look of the handle (looks even better IMO) and it looks like the hammer still won't be available by the time Dark World is released.
Those of you who have ordered/pre-ordered stuff from EFX before (or anywhere else for that matter) is this normal?

The first shipment of our Thor Mjolnir will be shipping from Hong Kong this week. The estimated date of arrive in Los Angeles is September 29, and then into customs. As soon as we get confirmation that the ship had departed we will be sending to all customers who have a confirmed pre-order our Credit Card/Lay-away Authorization Agreement, with instructions to complete your order.
Probably try to pay off my entire balance when it arrives at eFX. Anyone know if you can pay off the whole thing or do you need to make the 3 payments per their layaway plan? This is my first order with eFX.
I don't know if the same question has already been asked in this thread and I apologise if it has but does anyone know the procedure when cancelling a pre-order from eFX? I couldn't see how to on their website and any email I send them using the supplied email addy on their website just gets bounced back to me. I tried contacting them through their Facebook page aswell but I haven't received a reply and that was over a week ago.
Any help would be appreciated
