JND/Kojun Works - 1/6 Harry Potter Line

[Earth 616 Collector]

How did you get the order in? Or are you not UK based?

No, I'm in the US.

 

[PorkChop]

No, I'm in the US.

Ah right. Thanks for looking anyway.

Anyone have issues logging in to their JND account? After creating one and ordering, I can't seem to login. When I try to find my password, it just says the user doesn't exist even though it definitely does. So strange.

Did you check your email to make sure you registered/verified your account?

I tried a test account and it seems fine. I think I may have entered the wrong email because my test account worked fine. Although, I didn't seem to get a confirmation email in either account creations.

No issues on my end.

I'll just have to contact them to see what's up. I have no idea how good they are at communication, though. Could be a while, or it could be quick. We'll see.

 

[Darkseed]

Alright, I did it. I made the purchase for the Quidditch Harry

Same..see how it goes

 

[Musashi3290]

Same..see how it goes

I also grabbed one. I'm hoping silicone is as long lasting as JND claim.

Someone had mentioned a Joker statue from JND degrading by 30% in 5 years a few pages back. That seems insanely fast. I guess it's a gradual reduction instead of a cliff-like drop off in quality.

It's kind of holding me back from getting the three pack...just don't know. I guess we will be the test group lol.

30 percent in 5 years is a lot. I thought JND advertised 50 years?

 

[roan]

That was a joke. It didn’t degrade. The manufacturer says their silicone has a lifespan of at least 30 years.

 

[WolfBoy]

Isn't the issue paint apps on silicone, not the silicone itself?

The paint seems to come off over a short time for a few people if you're not careful in handling the silicone. At least from what i have read.

As already mentioned, the 30% degradation was a joke. Understandable to not take it like that since this is new to a lot of ppl, though.

JND's silicone manufacturer has said the silicone should last a minimum of 30 years as that's all the manufacturer will guarantee, but should last even longer with proper care. Keeping them behind glass will be a minimum, so best to invest in some cases if you don't have any already. I know a lot of collectors still just dispaly their figures in open shelving ripe for dust to accumulate. That's bad enough on a regular figure, but will be even worse for silicone. It's why I don't have my JND Superman displayed currently as I only have open shelf space for him to fit at the moment.

Is there anything other than keeping away from dust and out of sunlight to care for the sculpt and body? I should have my Moducases in a couple months and they will be in my finished basement, so those won't be an issue.

The general rule of good temperature regulation is probably all that I would add. With you getting the moducases and it being in a basement, you'll probably be all set I would imagine.

JND are desperate I'm guessing sales for this aren't great. Kinda karma for using a stupid marketing idea of copying Inart.


"Hello.

I am James Park of JND Studios.

Since the company's foundation, I am sure you heard a lot from me and I always said, "Please buy JND Studios products based on the prototype, cause we are always aiming to deliver that quality to you with our mass production piece."

This doesn't mean we not gonna hear from collectors. That is the complete opposite. Actually, our team checked about the issue of production pieces in the market recently and collected many opinions about our Harry Potter products from a lot of communites include FB, IG.

I will leave my comments about future improvements of our Harry Potter production piece so you will be able to compare our final product based on this comments.

The following are the points that have been pointed out and our future improvements.


1. Ron Weasley's Eye Color

- In the film, the color of the eyeballs looks like mainly olive(Our product's color) and sometimes they looks like blue.
- And we don't see much difference between the two colors either. Considering 1/6 eyeball's small size, it can not be a big issue.
- However, we will check the color deeply and reflect the result in the final production.


2. Ron Weasley's robe color

- It was pointed out that Ron's robe is old and the color is close to gray, cause it was taken over by his brother's.
- For the film "The Sorcerer's Stone" version, there is not big difference between Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's robe color.
- There is a noticeable color difference in the film, "The Chamber of Secrets" Please check out the url below.

https://variety.com/2018/film/news/...0th-anniversary-behind-the-scenes-1202916446/

- Actually, in the case of the JND Studios' Ron Weasly's robe, the color itself is different from other characters but not that much like in the film, "The Chamber of Secrets".


3. Tie

- There was a people who pointed out that the tie was completely wrong compared to other companies.
- After a close examination of the film, about tie's ratio, knot size, etc.. We've came to the conclusion that our ties are closer to the film.


4. Knit length

- It was pointed out that JND Studios Harry Potter products have shorter knit than the actual version.
- We will reviese it again to suit the film.


5. Hermione Granzer's Hair Texture and Hair Length

- Actually, there is a difference in the length of hair in the film from scene to scene.
- I can understand JND Studios' Hermione hair texture looks different from that in the film
- Because of the small scale it can stand out in a magnified picture and this is very difficult things to overcome.
- However, we will check this part as much as possible during mass production styling to produce better results for mass production materials and styling.


6. Quidditch Costume

- There were some opinion that it would be better to change its color to cherry rather than red.
- We chose the color after watch the costume in the film and with other material sources.
- We will proceed more according to the film.


7. Scarf

- Since the red and yellow colors of the scarf is same to the colors of the necktie
- We will test the color once more.
- In the case of scarf's tassel, we will modify it according to the ratio of the film.


8. Robe

- It was pointed out that the angle of the robe's is different from that in the film.
- Actually, the robo shows different angle between "The Sorcerer's Stone" and other Harry Potter series.
- Based on "The Sorcerer's Stone", our robes are accurate to the film.

Sometimes, we heard that JND Studios don't shows immediate reaction to people's voices. However, we always chose to review the collector's opinions like this without many notice and made decision to modify our final product with our deep thought as you could see our production pieces before.

As I left the comments above, we will always double-check people's opinions for parts that we haven't checked or missed and we will make improvements to the final production pieces.
I will talk about what are improvements of our Harry Potter products later in the production sample review.

So please don't worry about our products' quality.

Currently, JND Studios Kojun Works Harry potter is almost out of stock.
(Type A is out of stock worldwide, Type C is currently around 10% left.)
And I think the interest and love that so many people showed to our Harry Potter products was tremendous.

I will not forget this feeling, and JND Studios will come back to you with better works in the future.

Always.


Then I'll see you next week with JND Studios Platinum Harley Quinn 1/3 scale."

Thank you.



James Park

Fascinating that pretty much none of the points on their list have even been mentioned here, everyone's been so fixated on the heads.

They say they're almost out of stock - I wonder if that's true? They might be selling better than I expected... or it's a bluff.

 

[Chopper Face]

No one here actually cares about these simple costumes enough to delve into the minutia but we all have a general sense f what the actors look/looked like.

Guess there’s no need for JND to revise Harry’s crappy hs if he’s almost sold out.

I’m questioning about the shoes closer to Doc Martens. As I recall, the shoes did not have those yellow stitches. I may be wrong, but I can’t find the yellow stitches in a lot of pictures. They did not even mention about the shoes on that note.

 

[Earth 616 Collector]

I just checked and Type A is still most definitely in stock and available to preorder. If Type C actually only has 10% available, you would think they would put a low stock warning on that page. That can help entice people that may be holding to place the order to go ahead and make that purchase if they are afraid of missing out.

Some of those bulletpoints seem very passive aggressive. We heard your concern, we looked at what you said, but you were wrong and we were right.
