Ta da!! Another BRAND NEW Release from Mike and Cathy at sharkcityozark.com!
We've received an FINSANE number of emails regarding our good ole 3-foot White Shark Meg Display that we sold-out of over the last few years. "Can you sell me just one more?" - "Do you have ANY maybe laying around?" Well, better than that we took the Original Prototype and invested 5 months UPGRADING her in EVERY WAY! The skin textures & detail level is OFF the charts amazing! Having survived a few more years she is older, more muscular, HEFTIER and wiser than ever! With our massively increased order volume I have not had a chance to paint up a casting just yet, but we have a photo of the prototype online at this link. We are now open for Pre-Orders for her; she can be personally customized to any one photo that you send in along with your order, and we believe we will be begin shipping these sharks this Summer if not EARLIER! ENJOY! The Cruising Meg (sharkcityozark.com) Hi Everyone!
Looks like we are running some days behind on shipping the last dozen sharks this month. We shipped most of March's Paid-In-Full Sharks over the last few week's time, but there are still a handful being completed. Unbelievable how Cathy is so able to guesstimate such accurate shipping dates so many months ahead for us all, how does she do it? Our goal is to get the rest of this month's sharks completed, boxed and shipped out by the end of this week. Cathy & I have built a record number of sharks shipped every week since Covid struck. Sure there have been supply and demand issues globally with boxes, resins, materials, bubble-wrap etc; but we are still completing a record number of sharks shipped every month more than the last. Next month's order numbers are the biggest so far! April's schedule is stuffed to the rafters friends. Once we get this month's shark's done we are taking a few days off. Rest assured we are diving right back into the shop to get an even earlier start on next month's paid in full orders. So everyone left for March, keep an eye on the email addresses that you supplied us to contact you with, and on your spam folders too, for that all important shipping notice >IF< you are still awaiting a paid-in-full March due Bruce Shark! April customers should see sharks shipping beginning as early as the first week in April, if at all humanly possible. Thank you friends! Mike & Cathy SCO Hey there everyone. We wanted everyone to know that we are still shipping things pretty much on time or ahead of schedule. It will not be possible to get our turnaround times below 35 or so days from order to shipping, with the current massive load of orders still pouring in. But we are FILLING ALL ORDERS in record time still! All January's sharks were on time or early by as much as 10 days early for some!
We are currently working on all February due sharks. Added to the scheduled shark orders and private commissions we are also putting the FINAL touches on the ½ Scale Bruce Dorsal Fin and plan to mold it FINALLY next week. From there we are confident to be able to BEGIN shipping the Pre-Orders for this product that are paid in full. ADDED to this we also have YET ANOTHER NEW SHARK RELEASING SOON! This NEW SHARK is another 3-foot Great White Shark. This ALL NEW MODEL is a replacement for the previous Relaxed Swimming Pose White Shark that we sold from 2016 to 2020. We have gotten TONS of people wanting "Just one more" of that model but we slap wore out the molds for it. Instead of simply remolding off that master prototype we are releasing an ALL NEW MODEL that features a great many improvements and details we have been wanting to offer for years now. One more thing.... we will soon be releasing another 1:6 variant of Bruce the Shark. An ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ALL NEW MODEL TOO! But we'll have to detail this at a later time when we release more NEWS of the OTHER NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE BRUCE, SEQUEL & REAL LIFE SHARK PRODUCTS that we are adding to our 2021 catalog in the weeks and months to come! Thank you friends, stay safe out there! Good day fellow Fin-fans! November sharks are shipping! It will take the rest of the week to get them all packed and shipping notices sent. We've already made one trip to the shippers! Here is a video to enjoy showing different custom comparisons between some of our 3-foot sharks. Remember you can request from clean to heavy gore and everything in between! Most customers take us up on our offer to match their favorite screen grab or photo! Hi Everyone!, As we've been posting, ALL of October's sharks were completed, with just the last few being packed over the weekend for shipping next week. Been packing sharks and making trips out to the shipper for days now! This will put us a little bit ahead of schedule from now on! Because we will be shipping many NOVEMBER sharks earlier than scheduled starting MONDAY too! >>WHOOOoot! How's that for a surprise!! Our goal is to have ALL November Sharks completed and shipped on or by November 20th so that we will also be ahead on completing and shipping December's sharks! Back to the shark-mines! Another THRILLED HAPPY CUSTOMER & an UPDATE!!

All these customers have been contacted already. The "Drying Room" is essentially an extremely low humidity wind tunnel room that removes the fumes while they dry. We post-cure our sharks, yet another reason our SUPERIOR & ORIGINAL Sharks will outlive us to be family Heirlooms!! October Due customers are also receiving a FREE GIFT in their Shark-Boxes for being so very kind and patient waiting for Cathy & I to work our way through the FLOOD of orders to get to their sharks. We HATE waiting too! I have been waiting ALL YEAR for a Pre-Order 30cm Dinosaur that has been REPEATEDLY Covid delayed! So I totally understand WAITING SUCKS! It’s AMAZING that Cathy's Pre & Mid-Covid era shipping estimates are coming true within days to weeks of what is shipping now NONE of our suppliers comes close to Cathy's SKILLS!! We still have "The Fullest Ever" build schedule to complete before mid-December. We anticipate ALL November Due Sharks to be completed by MID-Nov --IF-- we can keep up this breakneck schedule. We seriously may need to take a day off at some point...... We've already built an 'AVERAGE' year's worth of sharks in only 4 months time friends!! MORE Shark orders than we have EVER seen in 11 years of providing these Original Sharks and Services. THANKFULLY we are near the end of this shark-Tsunami Historical Order Volume. We continue taking orders but as we have warned for months, we cannot guarantee delivery for -NEW- orders before Christmas. All -New- orders are being scheduled for 2021. We simply are completely maxed out, our build schedule is STUFFED to the rafters, no hours left in our 7 day work weeks to cram in one more last minute "Guaranteed" shark before Christmas. We will repeat this update again in another post later to help cut down on the hours of correspondence that we answer daily. We need ALL the shop time that we can scrape together! THANK YOU FRIENDS. It’s raining SHARKS EVERYWHERE! |
