    Yes I called it a "turd", because I think that this is what it is :D 
    I don't think an adult should feel diminished if someone does not like his new toy... That really is something that I would call "childish". In any case, I understand that the ones who bought it would prefer to have everyone around them saying how good is their new figure but if a part of the fandom is disappointed I think that this has something to do with an actual piece of reality (maybe the figure is not that great, for instance) and it is not just because "the fox and the grapes"... Don't know, I tend to read reality based on the idea that if someone say/do something is not 100% because he is a moron, there should always be some actual reason, even small, that made him feel like saying or doing that thing would have made sense.

    Philosophyyyy! XD LOL

    Haha that was you? Fair enough.

    I agree. I fully believe it is a choice to be offended. If you like your figure, great! Nothing else should matter. That being said, comments made with the sole intent to "hate" or otherwise trash talk or talk down the figure are not helpful. It's completely understandable why people would get tired of seeing those. You bring up another good point though, everyone has the right to express themselves; even if it's not to praise the figure. As you stated, no one (most likely ;)  ) says/ does anything without a reason that (at least to them) makes sense. That's an important insight.

    I think it’s more so because we’ve heard the complaints several times, and the complaints keep coming. As said a couple pages earlier, people have been complaining about the abs for like half a year now, we get it lol, it just gets kind of annoying coming back to this thread and just reading critiques we’ve heard so many times before. There are also other people that keep repeating themselves, for instance, optimist_prime for the third time on a row has stated that he thinks bmb has the better figure and has ‘won’ (which is totally okay, people can have preferences) but if such a message is repeated over and over, it starts to get a bit irritating.

    For a more simple analogy, it’s like that annoying friend that makes a preference based complaint on something you like, but repeats it over and over again. I agree, this thread is for discussion, but I feel that this ‘discussion’ on what the figure needs to improve on has ended so long ago, that at this point, most of us are exhausted and just want to see some valuable new information and thoughts about the figure from someone who actually owns it.

    Complaint over and over on the same thing to someone is not realy a discussion.

    Don't let some party pooper ruin our joy of having a good figure of our favorite character :) 
    I like this figure a lot !

    If someone criticizes your choices or anything else like in this case the WJ Op, the one who owns this figure will feel offended in some way by his decision

    The internet is offensive.

    I believe it is a choice to be offended. No one makes you care. That is your choice.

    I think it is not a choice to be offended because it's a feeling, but you have the choice in your way of acting on the world in response to your feelings.
    Thanks for the 10 mn video ! Can't wait to have mine in hand :)

    Exactly! But nobody wants to be criticized for their things, purchases, beliefs or decisions, it is as if part of you is in what you chose. In any case, I would like to see a very complete review with well-taken photos of WJ Op

    I respect your opinion on the matter. While I agree that there is an initial reaction to what is said or done, it's completely up to me how I react to it. For example, someone calls me ugly. While I initially may be surprised by such a statement (I am a very good lookin' guy ;)  ) I choose if I care or not about what they think of me and thus if said statement offends me. My feelings can be chosen and controlled just like anything else involving myself.

    In the end, I think we can all agree that people should be civilized and respectful on the forum; ideally avoiding resorting to purely negative comments, but it's ultimately our choice to care about what anyone says.

    There is a lot of play in his abs. Choices make me happy.

    I prefer them closer to the body as seen in the lower image.
