    I'm still waiting until reviews are out because I still have a couple questions on two particular pieces that still don't sit well with me. One being a piece I saw breaking on reviewers last time and those little wrist clips that lock the hands in place. So i'm taking a cautiously optimistic approach on it. If it ends up good I may just get one, if not I still have 3 Koots lol.

    Instead of generalizing, you should respond to the individual posts you take issue with. What would you rather those individuals say instead?

    I mean for me, it's coming either way. I bought 1.0 and although it was poorly made, it's easy to see where if made properly it would be the best KUP to date. I will probably disassemble 1.0 and use him as the broken KUP found at the bottom of the Sea.

    1) Because it would take forever to do that, and I don't care to do that much work
    2) Because there's nothing unclear about my statement. It is far too early, unless you enjoy pain (then it's a win either way), to be all in on anything based off that mold. Going all in on this thing, until it's confirmed to be quality, is only a smart move if the end goal is to nourish others with your sadness. I said "we" because I stuck my hand in the fire on this thing exactly one time. Blindly repeating the behavior would be the definition of insanity. If you're triggered by a meme I am legitimately sorry and will watch what I say in any thread you're active on, but that's more something for therapy and less something for me to own.
    3) Memes are more fun


    If you're waiting on a replacement because you opted out of a refund, that isn't really being all in though. You're just patiently waiting for the product your purchased. Being in on something would imply you were previously out, and that a single video of a copy that was provided in order to make the toy look good was enough to bring you in. Not gonna lie, that's been me before, but never on a toy that was so busted I had to return it.

    Which post gave you the impression that they had gone all in already, or intended to before getting further information? Can you provide at least one of the most glaring examples of someone indicating as much? And perhaps clarify exactly what you mean by "all in"? Are you referring to simply being excited and wanting to buy it? Are you referring to getting a pre-order? Or you referring to making a full payment in advance?

    I'm cautiously optimistic. I had one of those damn first runs and it's the worst shot piece I've bought. It made Spinout look good.

    I do like the look of this. I'm not paying for it (I got a refund on my original) until I see more reviews from some names I trust. If they can turn it around then I'm good.

    And it's fun to be a little excited, we've got fuck all else coming down the pipeline right now so what the fuck, why not?

    Doing my best to reserve judgement, so I apologize in advance for how this comes off, but saying stuff like that is a dead give away that you enjoy neither Soccer nor Emmy winning television. Otherwise you'd know, it's the hope that kills you.

    You are correct, I don't follow soccer and couldn't tell you (or care) who won an Emmy. And no offense taken man :)

    Okay, FR though and then I promise I won't steer things off topic anymore. Regardless of your feelings towards Soccer you really should watch Ted Lasso.

    Is the free replacement only for overseas buyers?

    I asked my TaoBao seller and he said no replacement.

    Anyone know how showz is handling this re customers who were bamboozled into buying v1? Are we supposed to be getting a replacement figure? I haven't really heard anything...

    Doesn't seem to be a clear across the board solution. Some retailers have said they'll send out v2's for postage to those that have v1's. Not sure all have.

    I guess ppl will be watching to see who does what for future purchases.

    Just had a response from TFS express, new one will be shipped automatically once they receive the new stock, no mention of any shipping costs though.

    Edit: they say for anyone who returned their copy they'll ship the new one out for free.

    Well, that's good, since I've already paid the cost of shipping in sending the old one back!
