Udpate: Figura Obscura “Haunted Blue” Ghost of Jacob Marley Figure No Longer Glow-in-the-Dark

The Four Horsemen have posted an update on the Figura Obscura “Haunted Blue” Ghost of Jacob Marley Figure, as due to a factory error the figure will no longer feature the advertised Glow-in-the-Dark Feature. This wave is set to arrive soon at authorized retailers such as our sponsor BigBadToyStore.

The new “Haunted Blue” Ghost of Jacob Marley is ready to hit collections as part of the 2024 Retailer Appreciation wave, which has a street date of next Friday – 11/29. Unfortunately, as we were digging into this latest wave, we noticed something was missing from Jacob – his glow effect. If you ordered this figure from one of our Approved Retailer partners, here is what you need to know:

First off, the new blue Ghost of Jacob Marley figure looks great. The colors are super vibrant, and since he is inside a sealed package, you would never even know that he is missing his glow until you take him out and turn off the lights.

Getting the glow to work on this figure, while maintaining the rich colors of the paint master, was a challenge, and there was ultimately a miscommunication with some feedback we provided, causing the factory to run the figures minus the glow. We didn’t realize this until we had the production figures in hand.
So what is the plan? Retailers will be contacting all customers who purchased these items to see if they still want them. If you DO still want this figure, please understand that you are buying an awesome looking figure, but it does not glow in the dark as originally intended. If you do want your Haunted Blue Marley, nothing will change and your retailer will fill your order as planned.

If you do NOT want the figure, the retailer will refund that purchase for you. Note that this needs to be communicated BEFORE these items ship, since opened, loose figures cannot be returned for a refund. If you do not want this item, please be sure to tell your retailer.

One thing to be aware of is that there will NOT be another version of Marley that glows. This is it. If you decide to pass on Haunted Blue Marley, there will not a glowing version that will be offered in the future.

As always, we strive to create the best products possible, but when issues like this do arise, we are committed to communicating clearly and doing what we need to do to make it right with our customers and our retailers.

Thank you for your support of 4H. Even though he doesn’t glow, Blue Marley does look amazing, and we hope you will still add him to your collection!

No! We were promised Blue and BLUE we shall have! This will not stand! I'll write my congressman. I'll sue. I'll take every dime they have, the roofs over their oily balding heads, the fillings out of their children's mouths, the last bit of undigested beef. There's more of gravy than of grave about them and I'll prove it, in a court of LAW!!

All seriousness aside, I was thinking that their next Figura was gonna be pirate-based, looking at Marley's coat. Anybody else seeing that?

Supposedly, pirates are coming to Mythic Legions next year, so that's where one might reasonably expect to see Marley's coat, as well as the coat from Frankenstein's Creature, show up again. The Horsemen tend to not reuse what were newly developed parts/elements for one Figure Obscura for another. There's been some speculation that the next Figura Obscura will be Medusa based on Basyllia from the newly revealed "Rise of the Beasts" wave, but we'll see, I guess.

Just saw my local toy show, Toy Fusion, post about this. Always nice seeing these type of figures at brick and mortar stores.

This a dope figure, and the new colors look amazing. Dont care about the lack of glow in the dark. The vibrant colors are gorgeous.

I watched their video explaining some issues but they are very open to work with customers to solve it... That's great for both of you collecting this line.????

Ah, ok. I had a couple of these (the Alpha Star and the green dune buggy cowboy guy) but have never in my life seen this one before.

I'm in the dark. Aside from his name essentially sounding like Fisher Price, I'm not sure what this is referencing.

This is such an awsome tribute for those of us old enough to get it. I usually don't go for the tribute figures bit I may have to pick this one up.
