On a statue by statue basis - every dog has its day. No one is saying Sideshow, Gamingheads, etc. can't produce a piece that knocks it out the park. I'm talking "generally".
Any "mature" collector (someone who's been in the game for a while) knows which companies are trying to position themselves as a premium statue supplier and which companies are simply along for the ride.
No one is shopping at Diamond Select thinking they're buying a top end product.

The landscape shifts frequently and making blanket statements like that are worthless and annoying, as a real collector would know. Nobody said anything about Diamond Select. You Said P1, Weta, XM, etc... To say real collectors are not impressed with those companies' statues is utterly foolish.

To be fair, the only thing I see that's utterly foolish is your response. I'm giving you way too much credit even with this acknowledgment.

Is that your feeble attempt at a burn? Wow. Leave it to a troll to deflect when they are called on their BS.

So my Big Chap finally turned up!
After all the crap with my order being given to someone else and then being told I couldn't get a replacement.. I finally got it, and not broken too! I seem to be one of the lucky ones in that aspect. Well worth all the trouble I had to endure.

Glad it worked out for you, buying this stuff shouldn't be so stressful.
