    I recently got the junkion blacksmith one, pretty nifty little figure. My only gripe is its orange.

    I'm hoping got Blaster, Twincast and SG Blaster, at least.

    You realize a SG KFC Blaster would probably cost less than the ehobby toy?

    yea, but at least with the E-Hobby figures I won't have to figure out if I got the special edition v1 with the old lady sagging hips gimmick.

    I really like my Citizen Stack, but it is not MP in my opinion. Just because a figure is big and has articulated fingers doesn't make it MP.

    The fact that they're making a home for their cassettes is cool, but their cassettes are also not MP IMO.

    Ramhorn and Steeljaw need a serious overhaul to accomplish that.

    I'm interested to see how this pans out, but I'll wait on an official blaster or FT's.

    Lol. Ok. Because every person with a concern is a troll.

    You know what, even KFC and the retailers agree, hence the rename to ToysExpress. That way they get to F customers a couple more times before another rebrand.

    Why do you think they're changing the name? If a toy company has a good reputation, you're not gonna abandon that name for an unknown. Now, if you already have a bad rep, that makes a lot more sense.

    I'm not looking to pick a fight, or troll as someone said before he took his ball and went home. I have never owned a KFC piece, but they do not have a good reputation for quality around here.

    You mean v2 right? And also. I disagree. What makes something a damned good figures is one that doesn't require a v2, one where parts aren't floppy or easily falling off, and one where it doesn't require another company to make an "upgrade" head to make to look not like an angry dead puppet. Stack, unfortunately, has all of that.

    Oh sure. Just because people don't like something you like and they have valid gripes and concerns, they're trolls. If that's the case, you must think something like 90% of the fandom are trolls.

    Sorry, KFC didn't get picked for anyone's team. But we got plenty of balls here for our game, we good.

    Cubex rebranded to Badcube and huff is still a pretty good figure....... their name change was unnecessary.
    For the record I didn't take my ball home, but you cant play with it either :lol

    Noone needed to make a new head. Unless of course you and your buddies control what I (and countless others) like? Sorry, maybe I should fall into line like a sheep and just slate them. It's the cool thing to do after all.

    I was pissed off about the thighs in v1. They gave us the new thighs for free. Besides that it's all good. It's sad that another thread is gonna be killed with regurgitated bile from other threads. Lets see a product and, hear me out here for this far out fucking idea, see a review and/or in hand views before writing it off.

    Hard concept to wrap ones head around I know but it might just work.

    i really liked their sharks, but even something that recent isn't immune from their shitty QC.

    (not my pic, but a friends. broke with one arm movement)

    the fact is that kfc cut corners on quality. and it shows. and it's super unfortunate because he could have had a reputation for quality and this was a choice, not an accident.

    That's a shame, did he get an exchange or a refund from the supplier.

    Funny because these "countless" others you say are more than likely buying the head upgrades. But I like how forgiving and forgetful you are. If it weren't for this "regurgitated" bile you speak of, more than likely you would have never gotten your replacement thighs now would you? After all, it would seem to me you forgot how Keith tried to defend the original until it was made clear that no one was falling for it. Also, if no one felt the head was "needed" or even at least "desired", it wouldn't have been made now would it?

    Speaking of concepts, how's about this one? You don't like that a company has a bad rap? Well, then why don't you sit back and let the company do either one of two things.

    1: Let them continue to fall by the wayside despite changing their name and still not fooling anyone.

    or 2: Let them do what they can to recover and improve

    Either way, their bad rap is going to stay unless number 2 happens. And either way, if you don't like people speaking up about it, then sorry. Much like how you're implying no one has any control over what you like, you also don't have any control over how legitimately upset/concerned people are at Keith's handling of his poor QC issues on his toys.

    But just so you don't think I'm totally uncompromising, I am planning on giving DAI Stack a shot. After seeing Peaugh's review.....this might be KFC's....errr......Toys Express' true turning point. But we'll see.

    don't know. think it was from that ebay seller scale face was pimping out so not sure there's a method as it didn't ship broken, just broke on first transformation.

    again, underlies the larger issue of Keith's lack of investment in QC.

    the only kfc product i want is Temptest and only because he is based on jizai's design, but he is too small so unless he goes on sale i will wait. Anyone report any major issues with that figure at all?

    did that arm tear / break off? i think it is the quality of the plastic that causes a lot of the issues with kfc figures, thats just based on others reports though

    broke. and i haven't heard anything about tempest, but i also don't know how many people bought him. he sure hasn't made many appearances in the photo thread.

    i might have dropped some bbts cred on him but the colours looked so wonky.
