eFX has a loooooong history of delayed shipping of their products to paying customers, yet they seem to be able to get stuff to the big Cons they attend with all the attendant expensive booths and personnel, etc. The whole deal seems like deja vu from when they announced their Disney Nautilus model. They had the prototypes at ComicCon and Scott Brodeen, who made the originals was there to help the hype, but then, there were seemingly unending delays and the same "head-in-the-sand" lack of communication about those delays. Other products were handled in the same way: They are all over the web and at Cons hyping their new stuff; doing interviews and advertising the products - all the schmooz and pimping in full swing - Then the orders came in and ................... (crickets chirping in the high grass) ................... Nothing in the way of communication with their loyal customers after agonizingly long wait times. It's like, the only thing they are good at is making cool prototypes and pimping them, then when it comes to fulfillment - ZILCH! The crazy thing about it is that people who have gone through this with multiple products are still willing to suspend their disbelief and order the next cool thing.
Actually, there is an upside to all of this, several companies have made good money jumping into the breach and making their own replicas to fill the need for these items. Of course, some of those companies have fallen into the same quagmire as eFX. Maybe it is a disease you catch from fiberglas or resin ...
