I find it pretty disheartening that people online and now apparently retailers are saying that there's no updates, that we are liars, that we have zero communication and are one of the worst brands out there.
It's true we've taken our time and spent 2 years completely redoing this figure and dealing with factory shutdowns and several major issues with previous factories, that's not just this figure it's all the other ones that are yet to be released and in order to make sure this gigantic second batch can ship this year we have given it first priority over everything else and I've tired my best to keep everyone updated but even then it seems like it's not enough and that I'm being implied as a liar for being hopeful about our schedule while I never once said that it's 100% coming at this or that date, this why companies like Hot Toys refuse to interact with people or give out any updates or release estimates, and we do keep retailers posted on progress despite some of them apparently telling costumers we do not and that we are one of the worst brands out there, if it's indeed true we will find out who is saying those things.
So in case anyone missed it, everything is finished and now we're taking it slow with QC and final assembly to make sure we avoid the problems we had last year, as collectors ourselves we know the waiting times suck but we'd rather release something that matches our standards and not rush something out just because some are angry they can't have their toy yet.
