got the second STAREXVA black label series statue. I think for the price it cost, it is not worth it for me to keep collecting their statue. while they look pretty on their stock photos, the material and paint quality looks bit cheap on the final version that we get. I mean they are ok, not terrible or anything, but just not the same feeling when you see them in hand.

Their latest one is the picture below. I was planning on getting it before but I wont. I do have their brilliant goddess statue (one with katana and 1/4 size) on preorder from last year.

also don't know anything about redbox studio. Looks like one of those studios that only pop up to make that one statues before they change their name again to something else. there is another red-box studio (with different logo) but they are not statue manufacturers.

All these guys make a mean studio piece for pics but what we get just doesn't look like this.

Check out Lady Dimitrescu for a disappointment.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

that is the thing about these studios. Half the time the production pieces are no where close to how good the proto type look like. they even have this bait and switch techniques where they will show you amazing statue, not just rendered CGI. But what you get is a disaster. I remember those Tifa Mayflies statue released and O2 one. they were plain awful. So with these Chinese studios whether they are licensed or not, you have to be careful and wait for in hand photos before buying.

Also when they make these statues, they rarely follow the actual in game model. instead to based it on some fan art work, anime style character or doll like you said. I mean look at Alicina, yeah her portrait looks pretty, but that is not how she actually looks in the game. i guess they make these doll like statue or anime like for sale purpose. Like trieagle statues. they look amazing but barely resemble the characters from the game.

here are the two 2B statue i opened today, you can see they dont look anything like 2B. the first one is from dtalone and other from moonlight. on moonlight instead of giving two head pieces, they made it that you can swap hair. issue with that is that the hair color don't match (front and back portion).

Another thing i noticed with multiple Chinese studios is now many statue come with a coin. i don't see the reason why, i rather have them give us a display card or poster.

I think this one looks great. She's a stylized version of Alcina, of course, and the actual product is actually similar to the advertised pics.

Not from what I have seen. Have you seen it outside of DesertDragon's pics here? He can make poopoo look proto.

Anyone familiar with Joy Station? I almost got their FFX Yuna awhile back, but held off. Sounds like she turned out great. Now that Tidus and Lulu are up for preorder, I really want to get into the line as they are actually committing to it from what I can tell. This makes me excited at the idea of having Auron and Wakka as well.
