    Is Wei Jiang related to AOYI Mech? Because the only thing I really care about is the oversized Hun-Grrr. Which doesn't seem like it's ever going to be made anyway. :(

    I'm not sure whether my pre-order will be fulfilled now, but I'm so concerned about the availability of WeiJiang figures that I just created an aliexpress account to pre-order a BA Prime from the next batch. Never in my life did I think I would create an aliexpress account... But here I am lol.

    The news all over Baidu is Black apple was picked up. They generally say he deserves it for taking a KO prime to get a photo with designer Shogo Hasui lol.

    They are a nice set and fit well with the MP combiners :)

    Just because this raid was for direct copies, doesn't mean they will stop at merely direct copies. It may lead to more crackdowns just for usage of the IP in general. So all third party figures may be at risk.

    I hope they don’t get in trouble like weijiang. They are making/made magnificent figures and other third party companies as well

    Looks like my MPP10 and Corvette Assassin just got more special

    Question: Did KuBianBao ever get raided too or have they always been dead?

    Unique Toys, TransCraft and Zeta scrubbed lots of weibo posts after the announcement. I wonder if there's a connection, or they're just paranoid.

    BA Ironhide is/was one of my top two anticipated figures. I foresee skyrocketing BA Prime prices. Even WJ products too.

    No! Aoyi Mech is a subsidiary of BMB, not Wei Jiang.

    Maybe Showz marked them as "sold out" to avoid getting into trouble of selling KOs now, like Tony from Chimungmung a few years back.

    Weijiang, who once single handed saved the fandom.
    Now it's the true fans turn to save Weijiang. Donate to their legal cause now!

    So far it seems to me that Hasbro cares more about Movie figures than G1. You can see all "evidence" shown by the Shanghai Police are Movie figures made by Weijiang. Their famous MMP10 didn't appear in the press. Wish other 3rd or even 4th party companies can survive.
