Borrow money from a pessimist, they don't expect it back.

Add this to the arrival of their Grendizer piece (which the other factory took liberties with the paint), they found again issues they had to fix in house. This led to them prioritizing development of their own factory, where they would have complete control of the outcome. I don’t see where they have mistreated people for ages, as this is a recent thing. They have a new TNT to scheduled at the end of the month to unvail their Berserk piece as well as display factory pieces of the next 6 statues due to release on the next few months. They’re updating their payment system to closely resemble that of most companies.

I tell you why. Changing the prototypez, shipping fees, prices, materials, constant delays and more.

Prototype is just that. A prototype, meaning it’s a sample of the potential of what is to come. All manufacturers have a little quote stating “final product may vary” or something like that. Materials, they were open about material changes after Robin. They saw it was important to collectors and were open about it since then. The delays are the most disappointing, but it’s either you get a piece of crap on time, or they force the factories to do it right (or start over in a new factory, which was the case on a few pieces) and give people quality. Yes the delays were extensive, but so far quality has been spot on and they’re improving QC. They’re working on shipping costs and improvements times for international shipping. The long silence and delays I will openly admit are a REAL issue and I’m glad they’re finally addressing and being open again.

Both headsculpts are still really not good imo, F4F did a much better job on the Headsculpts for sure.

Hm? Stil looks pretty good to me, f4f’s a boring piece. You have to factor overall execution into the statue.

It's a much better concept for sure but i still think Saitama isn't a great sculpt....the F4F is a much nicer pose and sculpt imo it just needed more on the base/more going on but F4F were playing it safe as it was their first anime statue....but it's 1/4 and was $330....half the price of the Tsume piece...it's still the best for me but it's nowhere near perfect....none of these are definitive for me.

I so agree the great thing about F4F base is does not take your focus off Saitama he is posed and cocked arm ready to do what he is known for

Hi guys, first post and a newb here having a look through the topics. just recieved a f4f saitama, was torn between the tsume and the f4f. like Jlm120170 said it just focuses on saitama. but if you want the "saitama" you get the saitama with f4f for cheaper. does not have some cool textures of tsume, most f4fs don't, yet it has nice shadings and a cool base.
it seems like a "hit or miss" with f4fs, like gibson guitars, the one I recieved was good.
