Ermm, this didnt came from seller's mouth, i have never had any seller telling me this kind of stuff before. It's from my personal experience. The same shyt happened to BRS original version, it was rereleased once and the 2nd batch one hair color a bit dfferent, it had  bit too much blue in it. Im someone who can easily find faults even with kotobukiya's figures, not to mention Griffon or Chara-Ani, even the smallest flaws that GSC or Alter makes, i will notice it.

Yamato has never been good with quality for most of their releases, so probably they improved on it upon a re-release. The company has now been renamed as Arcadia and their figures are still meh from what i can see so far

Companies aren't doing anything on purpose, the issue here is priorities. Companies often focus on the quality of a product that is new. Some ppl wait until after release for reviews and verdict before buying them, creating a great first impression is important. Re-released products sometimes dont get equal attention on quality control. Regarding BRS's re-release being too blue isn't a defect, probably, but many people didnt like it, me included. And we dont like the fact that the consistency of a product isn't there.

I used to review figures in detail a lot; i still do it nowadays but i dont write lengthy reviews anymore - they are  simplified. Over 5 years of reviewing figures, only 4 figures have gotten a 10 out of 10 score from me, i.e. it's both extraordinary and perfect at the same time. Maybe if im richer and buy more figures i might find more figures that deserve 10/10. The highest a Kotobukiya figure has scored in my records is only 7/10 (That includes Dark Angel olivia). Many of the best figures people told me about (i have some of them), they managed to get 8 to 9 points only at most, a very select few managing to get 9.5/10. That's how harsh I am.
The first release was pretty much flawless. The re-released ones actually had minor paint job issues, of course, only on selected units (so, it's up to your luck) but apparent I saw enough complaints on forums and the net. I did personally see one with such defects, though it's barely visible unless u check in detail. Some of the flaws are underneath the armor or when you check her pantsu - some of them is underneath, on the white dress/skirt.

Thanks for pointing me towards the Lineage line... looks interesting!

The orchid seed elf is very nice.... now to see if any sale going on for her hehe

The dark elf has nice pose, nice bikini armor.... but the proportion is not my taste, overly large ass/hips/breast...

Oh and the red warrior.... is it me or the reddish highlights where the flesh meet the clothing/armor is very distracting?

the problem with dark general to me is how her head appears detached and seemingly floats above her body. otherwise she does have a nice dynamic pose and impressively detailed armour/weapon.

Oh... sorry I blur hahaha

If its same price as the ori... why not buy the ori?! Unless its totally rare and you cannot find it... but then still pointless to collect a copy even if its rare isnt it?

Hmm. Can I assume that no one here has ever successfully convinced the customs officer to let go of your seized parcel, with duit kopi or not?

Could you tell me in detail how you managed to convince the officers?

Wouldn't work then. Have you seen the link I posted before?

It's this one: http://myfigurecollection.net/item/4358

There was something for me to tick [Send back] and sign. I cant remember the actual form cause I talked to them and they say either I have the approval docs or I agree to have it sent back. Meaning they just throw it back to the courier.

But mind you, they DIDNT send it back. So I doubt even if u ask them to do so they WONT. Unless u get it out, its as good as belong to them alrdy.

Thank you, i was about to post it here lol. Good Smile's 1/7 Sawamura Spencer Eriri from Saekano. Shot with Nikon D5200, Sigma F1.4 50mm lens. You're looking at a diorama that costs over RM600 (not including the price of the figure) and over 3 months of planning and preparation.

Any MFC members here? Pls help vote for me eh in the link below. Top left corner "Add to favorites" and on the right tab, 5 stars click. Im trying to run for a triple award, POTD, POTW, POTM with this photo. I need all the support I can get.
Clicking on the image in MFC and you can also get youself a high resolution wallpaper, 3000x2000 uncompressed jpeg at 300dpi. You dont find these often. =)

Hmmm.... anyone have these or any thoughts on these 2 figures?

Neither overly sexy... especially the Gisen (no armor lagi).. but I like her character in the Anime

Is this gonna be a norm?
