You know how much I respect your words but this line was a flop from the first reveal they give a few gems in nami and the others but zoro isn’t gonna be a easy creation and luffy looked like he should’ve been a best action release like the naruto
@@cartrellbouknight410 i rather get another figure which I’d enjoy posing plus he might go down on price and then I’d be more comfortable purchasing I still have Sanji which I’ll be getting this month coming up and Yamato on pre order as well so there’s that
I watched your Geto review last night and was thoroughly impressed with how that guy could move. Shame they didn't apply that here. It's like they have a team of total beginners working on the OP line.
lately ive been jokingly saying that its like figuarts have ai design their stuff instead of people as it makes no sense to me how one figure can be so brilliantly engineered and quality and the next be such a total mess. its like a total random chance of greatness and pure trash. Why don't they have a standard they apply throughout? The overall quality of their figures varies so dramatically from one figure to the next it's mind boggling
Engineering between Tamashii figures is completely random. You have Robot Damashii from the exact same series with drastically different articulation from each other, it makes no sense.
You'd think for One Piece, which could easily be their next Dragon Ball line alongside with Naruto, they'd be pulling out all the stops, but instead they're giving us these paperweight bootleg quality figures
Tamashii Nations should be putting their BEST into this line. Each release has been lackluster so far, I just pray it gets better since this was a line I was very excited to see return. Thanks for pointing out the issues with this figure on your review bro.
Thanks for the review. I don't understand why they did not use the plastic skirt they use for the Sasuke and Yor figure because that type of plastic does not hinder articulation much. Its sad that the figure is falling apart. Hoping the Sanji figure will be better.
Great review fam, such a crazy figure this one is😭. So many other figures they could’ve grabbed ideas from to implement into this zoro to make him one of the best. But they dropped the ball HARD.
Someone in Tamashii nations clearly has a favorite when it comes to the big 3 lol. So far seeing the Naruto, bleach and one piece lines it’s clear which one has been done the best. They’ve been knocking it out of the part with the Naruto releases. All of them a relatively cheap and come with a great amount of articulation and accessories. Then we have bleach and one piece and they barely come with much, can barely pose in some cases, and cost the same amount. Really a big disappointment, especially since these are some huge series that haven’t had 1/12 figures in a long time. I’m just glad these aren’t their best designs cause I wasn’t gonna get them anyways(waiting for their early looks). All we can do now is pray the same people from the Naruto figures start working their magic on everything sh figuarts is making.
naruto is actually the best anime figures shf has to offer they are super great to play with and are so rich with accessories (even the $35 ones which they usually skimp on), actually mind boggling how they didn’t even put an ounce of that effort into their one piece figures so far luffy not even being able to bend his legs 90 degrees is actually atrocious and idk how they decided that was passable articulation for a literal rubber man, on top of that he can’t even do ANY of his signature moves 💀 what a joke
@@leebreath2425 right? No haki effects, no rubber effects, no black cape, no string for his hat. Like they really didn’t want to give him anything. And yeah his knees being so bad makes it impossible to pose into his iconic poses. Really a big disappointment.
@@Jvm-iq2qe almost feels like they want this line to fail lmao, it’s missing so many key things and what we do have is lacking at best, then they have the nerve to add BAF pieces to entice us to buy figures that are likely to have just as many if not more issues based on this zoro lmao. and it’s so frustrating bc i’ve seen most of the issues these figures have executed well by SHF themselves so i literally have no idea what happened for these figures to end up this way. i just really hope by the time we get to the new world rendition of the characters they actually decide to get their act together (assuming this line even makes it to that point which i hope they do), the MxW productions addons look really cool but i don’t wanna pay the price of the figure to get what i shoulda had to begin with and it doesn’t fix the core issues with the figure either.
@@leebreath2425I think you guys are forgetting though it’s the same company it’s not the same licenses and not the exact same sculptors working on every line I think the bleach and one piece crew are limited as well these characters are way more exaggerated and more uniquely clothed than naruto so you already at a disadvantage for saving money on sculpting
While I agree the Naruto figures are the best, and the Bleach figures are light on accessories. They still have good articulation and QC. Renji is possibly the most underrated figure of the year so far, there's nothing wrong with that line so far IMO. Maybe they just hate One Piece lol.
Wow what a disappointment this figure ashame since Zoro is my favorite in One piece, Zoro's QC even worse than Trunks 2.0 atleast that one only his biceps pop off and loose hips but still tolerable.
My Luffys Legs Keep Falling Off And Now I'm Hearing Zoros Arms Are Falling Off it makes me sad cuz this line had me extremely hyped especially with one piece being my all time favorite piece of fiction
Man, I was pumped to find him in stock at AmiAmi, but seeing this review, ouch. They should have used the same plastic as Geto for Zoro's coat, damn. Seems like a very finiky figure. Great review.
they put in so much articulation, but made it so fragile it comes apart if you breathe on it. ironic, even with all that articulation it’s not really equipped for posing.
If the figurative berserk figuarts disappoint, then I’d believe that any form of berserk outside of the ost and manga are cursed man. Also praying for a cowboy bebop 2.0 line cuz I’m not pay a kidney for spike and a complementary free vicious cuz every store wants to get him off the pegs.
What a POS... its stuff like this that make me question if they even test the figures quality before releasing it. so glad I passed on this one, I wasnt impressed with Luffy so I waited for a review before buying Zoro, and now I know for sure I ain’t wasting my money on this.
Looks like super glue would be Zoro’s best friend here. I just got Luffy yesterday and I’m very happy with him. Yeah, the knee articulation is disappointing but for the poses I usually do it doesn’t bother me to be honest. This Zoro however.. and the worst thing is he looks so damn good, I love that pose at the end, so I might still get him at some point. The one I’m most excited about is Gear 5 Luffy. That one will decide if I continue this line
Thanks for the great review. I hope the OP line doesn't die again. Based on a few reviews, Tamashii are 2 for 2, both Luffy and Zoro have some stupid engineering choices made for them, a swordsman with limitations on articulation, shoulders, robe and a rubberman who can barely bend his knees making his iconic poses very difficult to achieve. Why are they making these rookie mistakes? They know better, we've seen them do better, do they have a team of amateurs working on the OP line? With Luffy you can claim the excuse of budget but Zoro is full price. Luffy just needs a new lower body and proper hat and its a great base figure, Zore needs better shoulder butterfly joints, soft plastic like Sasuke and slightly better elbow bends, these shouldn't be issues at this point.
I saw this at a Tamashii store in Akihabara and I almost bought it, good thing I didn't because there was a store not too far in the area that sold it for way cheaper (Around 4000 yen). I ended up purchasing it for that price which was worth it.
After Geto I was really hoping the leg articulation on this guy would be better, but when I saw how the waist was put together on mine I was like WTF??? I'll still display him cause he's my fav straw hat and he looks good, but that leg articulation man...
This figure was such a disappointment. I understand the limited leg articulation, but there was zero reason to make the shoulders that bad; I can’t for the life of me understand why they engineered them that way. He looks fantastic on display, but posing him around is a pain.
honestly even with the leg articulation they were able to do a way better job with their sasuke figure who had that same issue, the quality difference between the two is night and day outside of sculpt lmao
@@leebreath2425 Sasuke's skirt was slightly different, but yeah, I can think of like 2 or 3 ways they could've made Zoro's work. Luckily some have started to make custom cloth ones for him, guess I'll have to buy one.
@@Runmindor yea it isn’t 1:1 but the idea is they could have at the very least done the bare minimum and made it soft plastic. and some of the major issues with luffy were are least partially worked around with his imagination works variant so i really don’t know how SHF is dropping the ball this hard. customs artists are really doing what they can to elevate these figures to where they should be at and i respect and admire their work, but the idea of expecting to buy a figure and usually having to pay at least double the price to actually get the figure i should have gotten from the beginning will be tiring if it’s what we should expect from this line and that idea has made me really apprehensive in purchasing them for both luffy and zoro.
Wanna know what the crazy thing is? I had picked up the SHF Vicious from Cowboy Bebop and he had the exact same issue with his arms AND legs… The moment I took him out of the package, his head wasn’t actually on so I had to peg on his head which was a challenge of its own. And then when I started to pose him, his arms and legs came off instantly. Luckily I bought him straight from a local anime shop in town, so I took his ass right back in and exchanged him for another figure. Fast forward to today, I picked up Zoro and spent a good 20 mins posing him and swapping out faces and such and I’ve gotta say that so far… I don’t have any issues with him yet.
GREAT review as always, keep up the great work! Ngl after shaving off some plastic, cutting seams into the skirt and oiling it all up. Its still very mid.
Bro, how they got Geto's bulky monk garb and Sasuke's sash to work but completely fumble on this is beyond me...😑 If the mess up on Zoro (a character with a normal body type) then I don't even want them to attempt characters like Franky or Jinbei.
Honestly i think im gonna remove that one piece on the crotch (no pun intended) and get some hot water and put the skirt in it and hopefully that will solve it Im still waiting for the order btw
Such a good review! So happy I found your channel. Can't lie, I'm still excited to get this figure but man, such a disappointing release, really hoping some joint tightening can help with the joints popping off.
suguru geto shf has a skirt piece that similar like zoro. I was hoping shf would of used the same soft thin plastic. My zoro is in the mail. I guess ill get to experience him falling apart soon. Thanks for the review and the scaling portion is exceptionally great.
Thanks for the review, always delivering, man. I was looking the size comparisson and I wondered: Do you prefer the figma Gojo over the shf? Does it look nice next to other JJK Figuarts?
Just got mine in the mail yesterday and I’m so disappointed with the figure. Falls apart so easily. I was very excited for it too. I really hope Kaido doesn’t have these issues
Man I’ve been waiting so long for this figure but from what I’ve seen it scares me. Still picking it up tho bc one piece is one of my favorite animes!!!
Almost PO this figure, but something was off about this figure from the promo picture so I decide not to PO this figure and wait for review first. Damn this figure is really fragile, I really wish they didn't mess up with the Obito figure.
good call, I'll cancel my POs right now, I will wait for maybe pre time skip versions or new world versions, their first attempts are usually full of failures
Thank you ace finally somebody reviewed this figure still waiting on mine but thank you ace also ace umm can review anime heroes sukuna robe and can you switch the head thank you are the best.😁
Mr. 0 directions. I still like the way this guy looks, even tho his articulation is a bit scuffed. I personally enjoy zoro because I like his character and his accuracy to the anime in figure form. Great work on another review Ace.
Thank you for the detailed review. That said now i know what to do to fix this monstrosity. Im gonna try to mimic the upper skirt piece with expoxy clay then cover that with black cloth. Also I am going to trim the crotch part. What a shame for the one piece line. Maybe tamashii stop dropping figures every week and check your quality on the figures.
i know this gonna sound weird but my had the same problems as yours, just play around with the joints more especially the legs it gives it better articulation.
I just cancelled my pre order and will see if I can take it on a sale as I was not going to pay $70 for this, thank you for the Review and Is a shame that one piece gets the short end of the stick for SHF
i really hope they step it up for sanji, cause my goat can not have a figure like this...im just glad that awful skirt piece comes off, perfect for a custom cloth one eventually
This is really disappointing to see. I'mma get him anyway because it's Zoro, and I hope I'm wrong, but maybe Tamashii Nations knew it would be a big seller no matter what so they put less effort in, but they've made some really weird design and articulation choices with these One Piece figures so far. I got Gabimaru yesterday, and the articulation and build quality on that guy is superb. Why can't this level of quality translate to One Piece. For Zoro, all they had to do was copy the upper body joints from Renji, and use the soft plastic material they used on Sasuke, and this figure would've been a solid gold banger.
I got our boy off at gamestop, mostly because Zoro is my favorite character in the series. But wow they did my boy dirty. He's my favorite one out of the one piece sh figuarts so far, but man he got fumbled hard. 😢
this is unexpectable on almost every level beside the sculpt but than again if the figure is falling apart because of the sculpt than i guess the sculpt doesn't even really matter. this figure is $70 dawg, i wasnt expecting it to be flawless but damn that articulation is so weak for that price man. this figure gets a failing grade in my opinion
I had to take one of the skirt pieces off of mine. Less accurate but at least I can move his legs around now without the torso popping off. Gotta be one of the worst figuarts I've ever owned in terms of articulation but it looks nice.
Sounds like it has almost the same amount of problems as the Buzzmod (eyes apart) Nezuko Demon form and that one wasn't as attacked by the people as this one 😂😂😂 I'll get ready to be dissappinted now with Zoro... wohoo.
As much of a Naruto meat rider I am and a one piece hater too it is very disappointing that these figures are bad. I’m just glad these aren’t their most popular designs. Hope for their pre timeskip looks to be really good figures, those were the ones I was gonna get anyways.
That looks a disappointment bruh. Goodness. But at least if it falls apart it can be fixed. Not sure if id be more upset if i couldn't get it back together
The figure and the box art promo look way different. The head is sitting too high on the neck and his shoulders don't look as broad. Makes him look kind of scrawny in comparison.
my goodness what the hell is this abomination of quality. literally every other moment you touch something, it falls apart. They can't keep putting out such god awful quality figures like that, what the hell is the point in a good looking figure when the quality sucks so terribly? I've cut down on my figuarts purchases significantly this year almost entirely due to how straight up trash their quality is. Other than the berserk figures, I can't think of any figure by them that I'm actually looking forward to and if those have bad quality I may just be done with them entirely. Unacceptable.
Lol what do you buy the dud lines only Marvel never has QC issues Naruto hasn’t had any in the rebirth Jjk seems sweet my yuta is smooth as butter The biggest issue is they get loose joints fast Figuarts aren’t bad these anime design choices are just not good for their style of molds the one piece needs soft goods AND FOR BESERK LETS BE HONEST YOURE NOT GONNA LIKE HIM he’s got alot going on and will probably move like iron man which is a brick lol but aye aesthetically he’s beautiful
@@cartrellbouknight410 not only qc issues, figurarts is having a serious problem with being consistent overall, whether that be engineering, paint, or qc they’re just all over the place. The new trunks figure is one of the worst figures I’ve ever had to displeasure to handle, it was such a hot mess all around and I haven’t bought a new figuarts since. They’re really into doing the bare minimum when it comes to mass production concerns. Sure, they can design and build a great figure, but then they release it almost bare plastic with not even a matte finish, and terrible qc cuz I guess the Vietnam factory is cheaper, so they’d rathe make more and sacrifice the quality of their product.
@@arielazaria4680 ahh understandable but for this Line in particular it’s gonna be hit or miss the illustration Is very complex and to make it translate to figure form is gonna be hard especially if the line stopped early the first go around this is like a 1.0 which is why I said they should’ve did a variable action hero release first so they know what’s wrong
So far the One Piece line has failed to impress me. I really am hoping that Sanji is better.
If you have any information about whether SHFıguarts will make Aki hayakawa and Makima, please let me know.
You know how much I respect your words but this line was a flop from the first reveal they give a few gems in nami and the others but zoro isn’t gonna be a easy creation and luffy looked like he should’ve been a best action release like the naruto
So honestly I’m not done watching but the question is should I cancel my pre order because I rather wait for a re release haha
@@davidlion9187 I would if your skeptical about it from the reviews he’s not gonna suck just gonna be difficult to use outside of vanilla posed
@@cartrellbouknight410 i rather get another figure which I’d enjoy posing plus he might go down on price and then I’d be more comfortable purchasing I still have Sanji which I’ll be getting this month coming up and Yamato on pre order as well so there’s that

Yep the team assigned for OP line are sucks (sorry for the harsh word) if chainsaw man line can be that good, why can't they do the same with OP 😅

Seeing this just makes you think how the variable action heroes one piece line was ahead of it’s time
true, sadly they are hard to get now and the scale is a lil big for my collection
@@car7000I agree with the scale but some of them are up on BBTS for a reissue, still most of the line is hard to find
@@Goomba203Variable Action Heroes had a lot of QC issues at the time too, especially with certain releases. Was still a super cool line though
Except for the fact that the variable action hero’s zoro is 200 DOLLARS
Tamashii Nations should be putting their BEST into this line. Each release has been lackluster so far, I just pray it gets better since this was a line I was very excited to see return. Thanks for pointing out the issues with this figure on your review bro.
Same i was really hoping this would be like how the naruto line wasnt really good but came back super strong but one piece aint doing it
Thanks for the review. I don't understand why they did not use the plastic skirt they use for the Sasuke and Yor figure because that type of plastic does not hinder articulation much. Its sad that the figure is falling apart. Hoping the Sanji figure will be better.
If they fuck up sanji I’m falling to my knees
I blame the quality control issue on these back to back releases and what is being done is defective figures are being packaged.
Great review fam, such a crazy figure this one is😭. So many other figures they could’ve grabbed ideas from to implement into this zoro to make him one of the best. But they dropped the ball HARD.
When you see that Guy from Star Trek in the left corner you know it’s gonna go down 😂😂

to think suguru came out like a year before this and is barely hindered is js sad
Such a good review! So happy I found your channel. Can't lie, I'm still excited to get this figure but man,
such a disappointing release, really hoping some joint tightening can help with the joints popping off.

That’s just a shame. The hard plastic is a baffling choice.
question if someone can answer? the sheath pop out is it suppose to do that ? if not can i just super glue it back in ??
Thanks for the review, always delivering, man.
I was looking the size comparisson and I wondered: Do you prefer the figma Gojo over the shf? Does it look nice next to other JJK Figuarts?
Wanted a zoro figure with this scale but nah with how it is i'm skipping this unless they rerelease it with better tolerances.

It should have been soft material, instead of plastic
Man I’ve been waiting so long for this figure but from what I’ve seen it scares me. Still picking it up tho bc one piece is one of my favorite animes!!!
You just saved me 70 bucks brother 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Well the good news about the skirt falling apart easily is that it'll make replacing it with soft goods that much simpler 😂

I think the figure looks good, but definitely has issues. Out of the big 3, I think the Naruto 2.0 figuarts line is the best or very solid.
the naruto line is so far ahead of the one piece line in terms of quality that it’s mind boggling to me they’re both made by the same company
Thank you ace finally somebody reviewed this figure still waiting on mine but thank you ace also ace umm can review anime heroes sukuna robe and can you switch the head thank you are the best.😁
Mr. 0 directions. I still like the way this guy looks, even tho his articulation is a bit scuffed. I personally enjoy zoro because I like his character and his accuracy to the anime in figure form. Great work on another review Ace.
I'm hoping kaido lives up to the hype. That's the figure I'm looking forward to the most.
same. please dont mess that one up
Oh gawd..if a man in a simple dojo uniform falls apart this much, Kaidos gonna be a disaster...
Someone’s bound to make a fabric skirt for it
Thank you for the detailed review. That said now i know what to do to fix this monstrosity. Im gonna try to mimic the upper skirt piece with expoxy clay then cover that with black cloth. Also I am going to trim the crotch part. What a shame for the one piece line. Maybe tamashii stop dropping figures every week and check your quality on the figures.
That's one pre order I'm not upset that I cancelled. My God. I wonder if the One Piece Live Action figures will be any better.
i know this gonna sound weird but my had the same problems as yours, just play around with the joints more especially the legs it gives it better articulation.
Just when I got a friend of mine into this world with this figure, such a disappointment 😢 thanks for the honest review as always 🙌🏻
I just cancelled my pre order and will see if I can take it on a sale as I was not going to pay $70 for this, thank you for the Review and Is a shame that one piece gets the short end of the stick for SHF
i really hope they step it up for sanji, cause my goat can not have a figure like this...im just glad that awful skirt piece comes off, perfect for a custom cloth one eventually
This is really disappointing to see. I'mma get him anyway because it's Zoro, and I hope I'm wrong, but maybe Tamashii Nations knew it would be a big seller no matter what so they put less effort in, but they've made some really weird design and articulation choices with these One Piece figures so far. I got Gabimaru yesterday, and the articulation and build quality on that guy is superb. Why can't this level of quality translate to One Piece. For Zoro, all they had to do was copy the upper body joints from Renji, and use the soft plastic material they used on Sasuke, and this figure would've been a solid gold banger.
I think it has to do with crunch as well as whoever is in charge of it. It will get better but, it'll take some time.
its such a shame this is my all time favorite version of zoro, and they will never come back it to fix the issues
Do you guys think the figure can be saved with some Kiki? If so, I could wait until the figure goes on clearance to grab him.
I got our boy off at gamestop, mostly because Zoro is my favorite character in the series. But wow they did my boy dirty. He's my favorite one out of the one piece sh figuarts so far, but man he got fumbled hard. 😢
This is so painful, I genuinely hope Yamato and Kaido would have much better QC. (gear 5 too)
I got mine today and I love it it’s so cool
I'm really disappointed with how this turned out. Was the one I was looking forward to the most.
Does the bandanna come off
Hopefully the Orochimaru, KCM Naruto, Obito and the Sanji figures will be better
I’m planning on buying this figure so I can customize and fix all the problems on it like make a custom fabric skirt and everything
I bought mine at this year's MAGFest and I didn't know anything about it and I KNEW it wasn't just me with the sword sheathes they are HORRIBLE.
Great video
where did you get this
this is unexpectable on almost every level beside the sculpt but than again if the figure is falling apart because of the sculpt than i guess the sculpt doesn't even really matter. this figure is $70 dawg, i wasnt expecting it to be flawless but damn that articulation is so weak for that price man. this figure gets a failing grade in my opinion
I had to take one of the skirt pieces off of mine. Less accurate but at least I can move his legs around now without the torso popping off. Gotta be one of the worst figuarts I've ever owned in terms of articulation but it looks nice.
Yea I had to cancel my pre order a couple days ago, not feeling this figure whatsoever, especially for the price.
swivel hereeee 7:36 jobby reference 😍
What a shame, i love zoro. Does anyone know any alternative figures or something??
Releasing a $80 figure with the same quality as a $35 figure is fucling pathetic only Tamashii could do that.
Worst part is, the $35 Naruto is a really well-made, and better than this Zoro
Fingers crossed for Katakuri and Doflamingo
Zoro price koto
Sounds like it has almost the same amount of problems as the Buzzmod (eyes apart) Nezuko Demon form and that one wasn't as attacked by the people as this one 😂😂😂 I'll get ready to be dissappinted now with Zoro... wohoo.
Bro the skirt pieces are just like the anime heroes one😭
Men, what a disappointment this figure looks good in vanilla pose but........
They need to redo the Luffy and Sanji figures. Recall them and rework with them
i copped an had no issues at all not one i guess i. lucky
🧢
its not bro why woud I lie avout that@@lmao_sun
@@albino3373this actually makes me happy to hear since i’m debating on buying it it doesn’t like fall apart like most people say ?
I wish he come with a serious and a neutral bandana face . Amiami have not shipped mine yet
I can get past everything but the bottom of his cloak, hopefully a 3rd party releases a cloth version
Now our only hope for a good zoro is the live action one which dont sound too bad now😭
Mine fell apart right when I opened it the arm broke when I tried posing him too
I feel a little embarrassed to say that Luffy's arm pins are rubbish...
honestly the only one I'll get in the one piece line is luffy, and mabye gear 5 luffy if it isn't too expensive
As much of a Naruto meat rider I am and a one piece hater too it is very disappointing that these figures are bad.
I’m just glad these aren’t their most popular designs.
Hope for their pre timeskip looks to be really good figures, those were the ones I was gonna get anyways.
That looks a disappointment bruh. Goodness. But at least if it falls apart it can be fixed. Not sure if id be more upset if i couldn't get it back together
I feel like the skirt issue would need to be a cloth customs
Buh.
The figure and the box art promo look way different. The head is sitting too high on the neck and his shoulders don't look as broad. Makes him look kind of scrawny in comparison.
Really interesting that you can’t just swap the face plate on the bandana head, even my REALLY CRAPPY “variable action heros” zoro can do that
they really do not care about these one piece figures lmao, how disappointing
my goodness what the hell is this abomination of quality. literally every other moment you touch something, it falls apart. They can't keep putting out such god awful quality figures like that, what the hell is the point in a good looking figure when the quality sucks so terribly? I've cut down on my figuarts purchases significantly this year almost entirely due to how straight up trash their quality is. Other than the berserk figures, I can't think of any figure by them that I'm actually looking forward to and if those have bad quality I may just be done with them entirely. Unacceptable.
The jjk figures never have qc issues so it's definitely like a line to line thing
Lol what do you buy the dud lines only
Marvel never has QC issues
Naruto hasn’t had any in the rebirth
Jjk seems sweet my yuta is smooth as butter
The biggest issue is they get loose joints fast Figuarts aren’t bad these anime design choices are just not good for their style of molds the one piece needs soft goods
AND FOR BESERK LETS BE HONEST YOURE NOT GONNA LIKE HIM he’s got alot going on and will probably move like iron man which is a brick lol but aye aesthetically he’s beautiful
@@cartrellbouknight410 not only qc issues, figurarts is having a serious problem with being consistent overall, whether that be engineering, paint, or qc they’re just all over the place. The new trunks figure is one of the worst figures I’ve ever had to displeasure to handle, it was such a hot mess all around and I haven’t bought a new figuarts since. They’re really into doing the bare minimum when it comes to mass production concerns. Sure, they can design and build a great figure, but then they release it almost bare plastic with not even a matte finish, and terrible qc cuz I guess the Vietnam factory is cheaper, so they’d rathe make more and sacrifice the quality of their product.
@@arielazaria4680 ahh understandable but for this Line in particular it’s gonna be hit or miss the illustration Is very complex and to make it translate to figure form is gonna be hard especially if the line stopped early the first go around this is like a 1.0 which is why I said they should’ve did a variable action hero release first so they know what’s wrong
Im shocked to see that the live action version of zorro will be better 😂🤣🤔
hmmm I think I will cancel my preorders, these figures are really disappointing
