Oh no, WJ Toy says possible delay.

[PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT]

Temporary the No.2 and the rest are on-hold due to management decision and therefor there will be delay in the release date.

What's "number 2?"

 

looks like another batch of 20 :/

 

Hey!! The green background is for the cgi post production ?? XD
This is sooo good looking! But I have a doubt, the blue and red colors are indeed the colors of the plastic? Or is it painted?, the wash paint on the silver parts are good quality?

 

Dang, another delay. I wonder if all us delayed first batchers can get some free points if we complain enough

 

Indicators are it's WJ holding things up, not ShowZ. Not their fault.

 

Very true, but might still be able to argue that I see plenty of other people using different stores that have received there’s by now.

 

Reality is I have so many preorders hitting in this last half of this year, I actually don't think I mind if it is held up a bit. My wallet needs a break!

 

Small update. I bit the bullet and attempted a bit of modding to see if I could get the chest pieces to sit closer together like on the Chinese forum without relocating the peg hole. Long story short, I sheered off these tabs on either side:



Bad news, it didn't do anything. Good news, it didn't do anything. Essentially, the only thing keeping those chest pieces in place is the large peg that's also a screw hole. All the other pegs are useless.



I think that I need to shave this peg to enable the chest piece to angle enough to allow the arms to peg into place, but I don't want to risk it as that peg stabilizes the side doors in vehicle mode.



Lastly, after even more analysis, if you want to enable the chest to sit as low as possible (but NOT closer together) like how the MPM does it, you'll have to cut/shave off these pieces to make room for all the new stuff BA added under the chest like the red hood piece and the hinge for said piece.



Oh yeah, first QC? issue I encountered. The shoulder peghole was so tight that it ripped the peg under the backplate right off. That peg is only glued and screwed in, so no surprise there. I just ripped the peg on the other plate right off as that peg is absolutely pointless anyway. There is another peg that's actually part of the backplate and the top half of the sleeper holds the panel in place thanks to the added latch.

 

Guessing possibly a bad translation of "Second batch and further production is delayed"

 

What are the chances they are making an adjustment to the chest somehow?

 

less than zero? it's just the production process going slower than they had planned probably

 

No

Ottieni Outlook it says "due to management decision" so it may be intended as there are different plan in the production

 

ooo maybe getting fricked over by show.z has a happy ending after all

 

Not sure tbh, this seems to not reflect a change in the actual product design

 

They might also be fixing those bits with the funky tolerances

 

Just saying. The likelihood that they'll fix anything is likely zero. Any issue with the chest is due to a fundamental design decision. Unless they change the mold and redo some pieces from scratch, this is how the chest will be.

 

Anyone know how long until batch 2 is out?

 

showz themself said at the end of august...i posted a photo of it a page back or so and you can also make a comment in the showz thread

 

That was before the management thing
