Dear costumers,

I'm Giuseppe Rava the sculptor of the New Testudo ranges of figures and I do apologize for the problems you're having to purchase the products.

But I want to inform you it's several times that I'm no longer involved in this company, disapproving his behaviour and strategies.

I hope in the near future to bring back the company to the original goals but now I have neither access to the merchandises.

Best regards,

Giuseppe Rava

They are gorgeous figures, Giuseppe. I have quite a few of the Tannenburg figs and they are among the nicest in my collection.

Let me know when you do sort it out. I'll be happy to restock at vexillia.ltd.uk when you do.

Peanut,
what Giuseppe is saying is that he is not responsible for the actions of the company, from which he had to take the distances exactly for the behavior you are complaining about, so there is no point in asking him really… I know he's involved in a legal battle with the New Testudo people trying to get back at least his masters, so he is in a even worst situation than yours.
That said the guy who runs New Testudo has repeatedly pledged to fulfill all orders… he's not very well organized, and he doesn't produce the figures himself, so maybe is just a matter of waiting until he sorts himself out… here is hope… a real pity anyway, a truly excellent range that would really deserve a better treatment.

Cheers,

Claudio

Unfortunatly Beppe has no access to website as only the CEO of New Testud can. It is a sort of golpe inside Testudo.
I'm also involved in a legal battle with New Testudo (not with Giuseppe, that like all us is a victim as well, but with the CEO) for 1 year advertising not paid in the magazine I run (and for kiddin me for a too long time!!).

They now advertise only abroad (and pay for ads) because only abroad CEO hopes to sell stuff he cannot send, with less risks.

I'm really glad I noticed this topic as I was extremely impressed with the figures and about to send for some. Saved by the bell I think…
