I wouldn't doubt for a second that they won't do the same thing with the 1:3 Jungle Hunter at this point. Let the first round of buyers be the guanine pigs and discover all of the QC issues, then recast it again a few months after those have all sold with those QC issues addressed for cheaper.

For a couple years now the only "throne" P1 has occupied is a toilet.

Pretty crazy on their part, considering I've had the TOTS for almost 2 years now. But, you know, Covid. 🙄

It's been a while since I saw that as well, but I think you're right. It is odd though that they go so far out of their way to NOT name the movie. lol I think I would have prefered something different that a bunch of different parts of a movie thrown into one statue. It doesn't make sense...

But they won't. And why should they. New customers wholeheartedly support them, rewarding and encouraging these business practices. It's all fine and great until P1 inevitably shoves it deep in them and breaks it off like they did us.

It somehow just keeps getting worse. I wish expletives were allowed on this board. I feel like mods should grant us the use of them for this particular thread. :LOL:

:rolleyes: It seems that people are choosing to be willfully ignoring the main point of contention here.

Collectors who take advantage of this are supporting and encouraging this behavior from manufactures, leading to further degradation of the hobby.

Being stoked to get this recast when it's on the necks of others seems impertinent.

I too always thought the Hot Toys sculpts looked off. This looks much better....so far.

I agree. And that's why in my video rant today I bring up supporting independent artists who actually care about the work they put out, the personal connection they make between them and a buyer, and their reputation.

Those of you that are so stoked about this are making huge assumptions that this round won't be vastly broken too. And what's to stop P1 from announcing a new re-re-release of this mear months after you guys get boned on yours, with a slightly different base and $200 cheaper than YOU paid? And...

I'm curious as to the details on other rereleases. I doubt the first round of customers were plagued by breakages on the fault of P1, then boned hard on replacement parts. Also what was the timeline? Meer months after the 1st release?

I'd be on the fence honestly. But people who do not care at all about edition sizes are effectively okay with there being 5 billion made, and that's just not the collector I am. There are far too many amazing artists out there that are putting out incredible non-mass-produced pieces for me to...

I completely disagree. If this had an edition size of 200,000, I would have passed on it, just as many others would. And as far as your assertion that that concern is based on resale is also highly inaccurate. It has to do with not wanting a collection full of things that literally everyone else...

Hot Toys do not count, because there is no edition size, and the figures are not numbered. Apples to oranges comparison. It's also a product that's close to a tenth of the price of this. Hot Toys doing an additional run of figures is no different than NECA doing the same thing, since neither...

There is no chance of me siding with anyone who thinks this is okay. It's completely insulting on so many levels. They refused to help me (and MANY others) out with my damaged Chap, but a few months later start pumping out the SAME piece for new customers? **** them. On top of that, they are...

I honestly am starting to hate this hobby so much. I'm sorry, but this is absolute BS.

Well, considering that their "Lycan" is more fox than wolf and has been out for years and STILL is available with an edition size of 100, I would lower any expectations here.
