But the guitarist is fine?
That's Silver John!

EDIT: whoops I was beaten to the punch several times over ...

Saw Mr. Murch selling these along with the gorgeous Flint and Feather minis back at H-Con this past summer but was already "on a mission" for some other goodies. I ordered the Deep One set back on December 1 and never heard a thing until the day after Christmas, when I wrote an email enquiring and was shocked to see a reply back within hours. The gist was, there had been some delays and the package would go out as soon as the PO opened back up. I have been travelling over the holidays and don't know if they arrived yet, will report in as/when.

Arrived home and they were indeed waiting for me. The metal guys look great but the big resin fella is going to need some work.

I also ordered all three sets and they were waiting for me here when I returned home an hour ago !

They are all very lovely sculpts !   The Resin Interdimensional gate is spectacular.

But the VERY best is the Cthulhu plinth.  That sculpt is SO LOVELY it takes my breath away.  The single photo does NOT do it justice.  What a gorgeous piece !!

Silver John looks great.  When these were announced a couple of months back, I heard about Silver John for the first time, and immediately ordered "The Old Gods Waken" the first in the 'silver John' series, and eagerly read it.  

Yowee, what a pile of carp it is !!   NEVER in my life have I read a story with a more hokey, LESS SATISFYING Deus Ex Machina ending !   I will never consider that lousy author again.  I usually pass books along to friends or libraries, but I made certain that "The Old Gods Waken" went DEEP into the Dumpster, under slimy things so that it would never be retrieved.  

I might advise not wasting your time on the Silver John books.

I had a similar experience with The Old Gods Waken. I did like the dialect, which rang true to how some of my older relatives speak. But the plot was a weak thread strung with bland cliches. I'd give Wellman another try but that book was pretty so-so. As a serials protagonist, John has a lot of potential. The mini from Mr. Murch looks cool, too.

Mine just arrived in France. Lovely figures. nicely packed in DVD boxes. You can tell it's Bob Murch's work at first look. The deep ones are surely among the best available (and there are lots of them).

I ordered just after Christmas, and while I understand it will take a while for the actual product to reach me( I live in the UK), I've had no communication from them regarding my order despite contacting them 3 times through FB so far. Money has been deducted from PAYPAL. Just want to know that my order is being processed. Any suggestions? Is this common with them?

Cheers

I ordered 12 November and they arrived 9 Jan - I live in Guernsey, CI - I would suggest if you ordered after Christmas you give them a little longer before becoming too despondent

Thanks. As I mentioned in my post, I understand the time it takes to ship and arrive; it was the lack of response to my communications that concerned me. Just a confirmation that the order had been received.
