All of a sudden tons of pieces have them? Something must have changed :<

Yeah but a lot of those came at an unusual cold snap.
Then there's the weather in China too which we aren't as aware. Most factories have to be much above 40° to get good work and then plop a bunch of containers in the teens or below and there's a mess. Could also be protocols weren't followed of where on the ship things were to be stacked. Those ships are HUGE and carry gobs of different crap at a time.

Can anyone confirm what the final numbers were for production? I managed to purchase the regular but haven’t received it yet and I see SS have the Siberian on 275 with a waitlist open which is odd to me whilst the V and Mech both have a 125 qty are available right now. My concern is the regular collector and what the actual qty was.

Also how can all these EX versions still be available with a PO phase that took 24 hours to sell out?

Very excited to receive mine as I’m very new to collecting and this looks amazing. From sunny South Africa.

A lot of people cancelled due to issues that came up with PCS. It started with the company blowing up a lot more than it should because it had a huge hype train. And when that hype train was over a lot of people cancelled and moved onto the next thing and wanted to refund/cancel. They didn't (and likely still don't) have the money to do those refunds which understandably made a lot of people very angry.

That said Zangief is one of their best statues and is an absolute beast. It love my Zangief and even got a Mecha even though I almost never go for variants in either of the 1/4th line. Definitely a great choice on him.

Who knows with PCS. It was one of the last pieces I ordered and was delivered. I received all versions but there are SOOO many AP's floating around it has majorly skewed the final edition size...

Agree with others it is a great piece btw.

Not at all.

Additionally, Gief is really heavy and I wouldn't even test it on a Detolf's thin shelves.
