Loosecollector

So I got Dilim, the great wolf yesterday, hoping the 2nd run was better. Nope. I got what is essentially a beautiuful piece of shit. I put it in hot water right up front as his upper waist and several leg joints were froze. Did minor posing yesterday, as I was away most of the day. Today the waist and ankle joints were stuck again and realized the neck was as well. I've got everything moving now, but he still can't stand properly because as uber-tight as almost every joint is, the lower waist joint is beyond loose. He just flops forward and back at that spot so it fall forward one time, and backwards the next.

I knew I should have held firm and not bought him. I may toss some gorilla glue down there to tighten the joint up, and the irony of having to do that is not lost on me.

Sorry about these figures. After reading this, I canceled my Yeti, Bigfoot and Skookum. Until I read any good reviews on them, I won't be buying them.
 
I haven't bought anything LooseCollector, but that's definitely a bummer for everyone who has. You'd think, at the prices they're charging for boutique toys these days, they'd work a lot harder to make sure things come out as close to perfect as possible. But it almost feels like the opposite a lot of the time.

I rode the train for a while, but LC has been consistently QC for me, so I reluctantly hopped off.

Still annoyed I didn't get Captain Canuck though.
 
The wolf I got off AliExpress is a little tight, but moves enough, and Grendel doesn't seem to have any issues thus far. La Muerta and Vampirella are also fine with nothing loose or broken. La Muerta is one of the better female figures I've gotten this year.
That said, I still haven't preordered any of the yetis as of now, so I may just wait to see how they are when released and see how my finances are if there are any available then.
