That sucks! I hope that he is worth the wait.

Uh oh.. looks like the smaller scale figure may be creating some QC issues.... bummer.

Stuff I want. Stuff to trade/sell (Updated 10/11/2009). My feedback.

Is this final? Or just some mistakes?

If it's real, that sucks. That's the second time now

Yep, I suspected as much. Remember how we were complaining about paint chipping on Binaltechs? Imagine how much paint will chip on these Alternity toys?

I see this as good news.

At least they are doing something about QC on these figures. I imagine if they just released them on time with QC problems, the fans would be whinging about them being released too early and with a lack of quality control.

This delay may end up meaning that the smaller scale of these figures does not work well with the die cast and paint combination of the line. If that is the case, I am reluctant to actually buy any until I hear some good feedback on them.

Well, they are so small that maybe the paint will chip off all at once...
