1. The Deadite Ash head. They got the white/Grey eyes instead of the black proto ones. I might go as far to say the Deadite head looks better than the standard head.Which issues do you feel are unwarranted? I’m yet to see any that aren’t legit complaints….
Nah. It looks awesome. Again, the only terrible thing here is the hairless Henrietta.
And those are all issues that have barely been mentioned after better pics came out. The whole release has been people trying to figure out this **** show. It's all part of the process and acceptable until we see the root of the problem. Those problems are perfectly clear now.1. The Deadite Ash head.

2. Linda looks about average with what they showed with the proto. The hair was the wrong color from the beginning.
3. Diorama base I think looks great
4. One person had zoomed in and cropped a pic of the sculp not futzed right on the neck showing a gap.
5. I've heard people say the sculpt is
A. Too big
B. Too small
C. Too wide
D. Too narrow
For the neck/body. Can't be all of them. Which is it?
Examples of some of stuff people are looking for to add to the list.
Since you are new to collecting, I'll tell you that in my opinion, VTS/Dam Toys is one of the very best companies doing 1/6 scale figures. Their quality is about as high as you will get whether it's military figures, Gangster Kingdom, the unlicensed film characters, etc. So, buy with confidence if you see their brand. But the 1/6 scale, 3rd party landscape is littered with horrible junk, often cheaply thrown together rehashes of high end custom figure runs, so best to take some care and do some research. Frankly, I should have done more of that with Asmus before taking the leap with this guy.In regards to 3rd party figures, my first ever poseable figure (other than V) was VTS Ghost of Tsushima figure and it is utterly incredible. Looks better than a lot of my high priced statues and the quality of the materials is amazing. There is no excuse for this licensed Ash looking so bad and so cheap.
Maybe Asmus and Trick r Treat Studios shared the same factory with this and TrTS Halloween Accessories SetThe problem could very well be the factory that they went with for this figure.
This may well be the root of the problem, but the good companies either know how to use better factories, or provide better oversight during production. This has been my critique of Sideshow vs. Hot Toys for many years. Hot Toys has figured it out. Sideshow either doesn't want to figure it out (possibly due to cost), or can't, and the proof is in the pudding. . .though ironically, Sideshow's Ash was one of the better Sideshow figures I ever had. Not Hot Toys quality, but about 10 times better than most of their GI Joe figures.The problem could very well be the factory that they went with for this figure.
It’s not a factory issue, they have admitted to screwing up, they admitted it with Arwen (box measurements not done correctly), they admitted it with Gandalf (diorama engineering not being correct) and they have admitted it here (spelling errors, missing hair).The problem could very well be the factory that they went with for this figure.
I thought the same thing.Maybe Asmus and Trick r Treat Studios shared the same factory with this and TrTS Halloween Accessories Set
Rush it out before Chinese New Year.I thought the same thing.
I'm thinking their slot to use the factory was set and Asmus wasn't ready. Instead of waiting for their next window, which is what they should have done, and producing a better product they said **** it let's get it out now.
Thank you very much for the tips! I'm not new to collecting in general (I've been a statue and non-poseable figure collector for over a decade) but I'd never had any interest at all in poseable, real clothed figures until I saw VTS' Ghost of Tsushima. I was blown away by the appearance and the feel of quality from all the materials used!Since you are new to collecting, I'll tell you that in my opinion, VTS/Dam Toys is one of the very best companies doing 1/6 scale figures.
