To those who are starting to feel discouraged and/or thinking twice about buying/keeping their QS001 just because of Maglor's opinions and those side-by-side comparisons of DX12 and QS001 in pictures (taken at separate occasions), know this:
Maglor, and I say this with confidence in my one year of stay on here and seeing his posts -- is a collector of high, if not highest standards. That's him, and he's well-respected in the community (add me to those who look up on him) because his high standards and perfectionism result to his coming up with modifications from simple to complicated (which he selflessly shares to all) that can bring out a figure's full potential. But with that said I have also learned to separate my opinions to his as I do with the opinions of professional toy reviewers like Michael Crawford. IN the end it's always to each his own. If I like the figure and find it outstanding as is or with slight mods, I'd keep it despite Maglor saying it looks like an oversized Mattel toy to him, or if Crawford gives it 2 stars. But then I get pleased easily.
I'm still waiting on mine, but I saw this on display and I think that in person if placed side-by-side with the DX12, the QS001 would show that it's not at all just a blown-up version of its sixth-scale counterpart.
That post means a lot to me man. Thanks.
You are so right. My opinion isn't worth more just because I'm picky, or bothered by certain things. Their are things about figures that bother other people but not me. We all see things with different eyes.
Like someone else said, if you like the pictures of this figure, you will most likely like the figure. I made the mistake of not trusting my worries based on the pictures.
From here out, I will be keeping my mouth shut when it comes to criticizing this figure. I have nothing new to say, and I've made my mind up about getting rid of him.
Again, for those of you who like the way this figure looks in pictures and think my criticisms are a little crazy: you will not regret getting it.
