Looking through the CC 1/4 Endo thread over at SF is certainly an education on the who's who of people commenting on the breakout rex over there. These guys were all "I really like it" until the Toynami factory debacle was revealed. Then most of them were let down, and yet a few of them even then actually said they felt sorry for CC that they sold them a terrible piece, and that their photos of what they received would be used to attack CC. Wow.....just wow. The Stooges photo was absolutely 100% accurate.
And then there's all the posts by Paul at CC. I hear the exact same verbiage from him presently about the breakout rex that I'm reading about the Endo prior to the big factory not being Toynami reveal. He touted that piece, how he was so thrilled with the factory samples and what the factory was doing, how the final piece will be better than the factory samples, how close they are getting to the paint masters, how he's personally inspecting every one of them for quality, and then bam! Everyone gets crap, the endo is discounted, and he's firing a factory and a factory rep.
Well, I guess we'll have to see what photos they post. As much good will as I want to give Paul and CC for the idea of tight quality controls as they represent themselves, the proof is in what they deliver. That said, my faith that they would correct anything in house is now gone after seeing the endos. Paul may take out of circulation some of the worst breakout's, but we will be receiving whatever the factory did otherwise. I hope it's better than what we've seen so far. I really do want this to be a success for everyone.
