Honestly, everything ninjahandz has written in this thread has been truth. Working with companies first hand I've seen that there's absolutely no honor code amongst 3rd parties and in fact I've even seen some 1st parties make sub companies to KO the products of others to f**k with them and capitalize. sh*t is crazy. Not excusing anything but it's very much one of those, "Is what it is" situations and I hope that this thread can begin to focus on the product going forward vs. the backstage drama.

DOUBLE PLOT TWIST!!! Juny and BB7 are one and the same! He cooked this whole thing up to make collectors feel sorry for him and buy the figure in larger amounts to support him!!! I need to stop watching conspiracy movies... LOL...Damn!
Oh, Please! not another sequel

I just discovered the preorders this morning. Even the preorders look sketchy. Pay x amount of dollars, and no refund or transferrable. I rather hold out and see how this all pans out and see who actually produces what. Its strange that he was actually already selling resin casts. I and many others had asked him for a while how to buy, and he would always give a coy reply or none at all.

The thing I did not like about TF-direct was the unknown price. Seems I see the mention of 125usd, but I have seen preorders as high as 190usd.

That's shady sounding. Do you lose the deposit if you cancel after the price is revealed?

The original figure was a statue but the new one will have some articulation, at least at the neck, wrists and shoulders. The original statue has pegs at the shoulders while the new one has swivel joints. Same for the neck and wrists. They pretty much added articulation to call it an action figure

I have to clarify a bit this : The company created this gokin directly copied from a paper model designed by Rebellion Dante (Thailland), and mixed some details and proportions from the resin statue designed by Kwang Jun Park It's a mashup...

Not that the Netflix design is that terrible, but I really would've loved it more if looked liked these. Sigh. Ahh well.

so they took the design of two sources ? lol alright nothing to see here
for me i wont bite until some good stores carries it (or a store that have the recommendation of other members)
it looks so shady man, 0 support, 0 official site, 0 contact with the manufacturer
its like buying a fish in the sea you dont know what you will have
