Glow Otto's arrived already!!!
Wow - that was fast from Canada and all! Thanks for the quick turnaround.
Now - the critique (sorry). I am a little disappointed that the "glow" part is painted on. It is not molded in the glow plastic like the Lee's Karl or Gill were. It is molded in the Body yellow with the hands and face in a glow in the dark paint (kinda globbed on). One other minor problem and I am not going to go all anal about it because I seldom do, but I am glad I purchased two of them. I had to cull the best paint and pieces of the package to make one good one. Ones paint was a little "iffy" with various smudges and such and one package was dinged not only on the outer tube but the bottom disc looks like it was crammed down in the tube by a monkey. There's my rant - more of a Funko quality control issue then a gripe about the item itself.
Thanks to Novelty Cafe for bringing us a great exclusive and delivering it in a timely manner!!

Mark,
To my understanding, this issue is solely with FunKo. When talking with David, he told me he did not see any proofs, specs or sample. The first time he saw it was when it was sitting in his office. I hope these quality issues dont continue. I dont think this could have been any smoother on Davids behalf. Thank Bro.

I am not laying blame on David! As a fellow retailer I appreciate what he has done! I know what it is like with an exclusive. I did the Glow in the Dark Sike-o-Shriner with Funko and all I ever saw was jpg pics. Never an inperson proto, painted proto, etc.... So Kudos for David and one hell of a cool exclusive!!! I guess my gripe is with Funko and the lack of quality control with the overseas production.

Hope you get yours today. I was really surprised when I got them yesterday.
This guy is really great, but he does not glow much. Kind of a dull glow. Low glow better than no glow, though, ya'know?
