Posted on by

docprofile.jpgWe’ve received some more information about the second run of Doc figures that are being pushed out right now to meet the incredible demand of mail away requests.  There have been some fan concerns about the possibility that these Docs would be different than the initial run or that there may still be some folks who cannot get the figure.  The updated info we have is:

1 – The second run of Docs will be the same as the first in packaging and design.

2 – The deadline for getting your figure is still August 31st.  While we certainly recommend that you not delay, you do still have some wiggle room for sending in your forms.

As always, feel free to discuss this news in our forums.
