Agree or disagree, but RaddTitan tend to say it like it is.
It would be interesting to hear that guy (i forget his name?) from QS who sometimes joins live chats what his opinion is on the matter?

Yeah, Jon

Part of me is hoping they iron out any issues with the early pieces for the Asian market like they supposedly did for joker, but they should just be getting it right first time

I used to watch all their videos years ago when I first starting collecting. But then I found their opinions to be heavily biased either for or against depending on manufacturers.

For example XM were the best thing since sliced bread, and Prime 1 were always heavily critiqued (they did soften their attitudes towards the end, but too little, too late). And given their later association with XM.......

During the chat the QS Black Widow came up in the discussion. While no numbers were mentioned, it seems some pieces arrived with broken legs.
The 'supposed response' from QS was, fix it yourself..
That's one up on Prime 1, who told me, paint it yourself.. (when i once received a piece with a wonky eye and 10+ areas of paint missing (unpainted) on the hair)

I hope my QS Joker arrives in good shape

Just watched this.
They start talking about the piece at 1:48 here.

One of them looks at the production pic of the BWs lined up and then immediately brings up the JND Arthur Fleck, because he is questioning the likelihood of this developing the same lean that he is seeing with that JND piece (who he thought was also in a walking pose). That's when the other guy chimes in, saying that a lot of pieces have arrived with broken legs and the owner told them they were on their own.

I don't believe they were referencing Queen or this piece in particular- especially since I haven't seen anyone claiming they've received it yet, anywhere.

OTOH, anyone who has been paying attention has seen pics or videos of JND pieces arriving broken- heads, legs, etc.
I've seen it with Joker and Catwoman. And apparently there are Flecks out there with serious leans.

I haven't heard about these lean issues with Fleck - can you source the info? I tried a general search and the FB group.

The broken neck on Catwoman was widely discussed.

I personally saw one over at Sugo's.

It was ridiculous how much it was leaning to it's left. Maybe as much as 20-25 degrees from perfectly straight.

Well, it just goes to show - higher price doesn't necessarily equate to a superior product in every sense.

I've been guilty of trying to tier these companies. I've had a few run in's with other collectors over my "opinions" - and then Sideshow goes and releases Black Canary.....and it turns everything I thought, on it's head.

I'm now starting to think we (I) need to stop generalizing, and I gotta look at each individual piece in isolation. The sweeping generalizations on these companies just don't fit, and certainly not in 100% of product launches.

Well that explains it, that's why I questioned it, as there are no in hand pics yet, let alone reports of breakages

Yeah, no companies are without problems, some pieces look great, but not all of them will arrive undamaged or without issue. A lot of us held queen up as one of the good ones, but they're also just another company at the end of the day

It starts at 1:04:48
You are correct, they show the QS Black Widow and talk about the JND Arthur Fleck and it's leaning issues and legs snapping, and go fix it yourself CS response.

I hope Harley Quinn does not suffer the same fate.
I wonder what Arthurs legs are made from?

I wonder why RaddTitan show a picture of QS Black Widow and talk about the JND Arthur Fleck (and it's leaning/breaking issues) then move onto the next picture without talking about Black Widow?

[Silas Loki]

To be fair, the Radd Titan explanation about the CEO response to the A Fleck issue sounds anecdotal (at best) - the CEO doesn't respond to customer complaints, the Customer Services team do. Secondly, from my personal experience with JND CS, they might well suggest a self fix, but they'll offer you money.....at the least, they won't say "it's your problem".

I'd take what those guys said with a huge pinch of salt.

No disrespect to the Radd Titan guys: it just seems like two guys having a chat, speaking about hear-say and rumours, not facts and evidence. Which is fine for a fireside conversation, but we shouldn't therefore take it as some kind of news report.
