LOL! I said i'll maybe sell my figures but not quit the forum. Where did you get that from what you read? As that's the assumption that your basically saying.

But as consumers we have the right to complain, we're not sheeps, don't know about you though. But arguing, complaining, whining, comes in fandom talks of anything, sports, movies, games, anything. If there wasn't such arguing or whining that would mean that the thing is not interesting and would just die out. Just how you somehow got that I'd leave the forum after if I sell my figures is maybe how your not getting how fandom is? Maybe this is not the right place for you? Or even forums? Besides your whining too about how its not just fandom talk.

But anyways... ok, hey does anyone have a issue with the decal on the back of Goku? I know if not careful it can fade away and such by our natural oils in our hands, but like 2 of my friends have had the corners of the decal chip off of theirs? Does anyone else got similar issues or came with a scratch at first out of the box.

Consumers have the right to complain about what exactly? That an exclusive figure actually lives up to that title and demands a high price among collectors?

Consumers have the right to complain about anything. I wasn't just talking about these SH Figuarts DBZ figures, I meant on anything. Like recently on what is going on with that stupid CEO of that medicine pill, with his recent raise on the price per pill, the public complained and thus hes going to drop the price back down or dumped his stupid idea of increasing the price on it from $13.50 a pill to $750.00 a pill. 

But for these figures, people complained about not getting Trunks and Vegeta, and so we're getting a new figure of them. Or as many want to believe in their heads, its a reissue/re-release, yet the figures are not the same from one another, but anyways consumers have the right to complain.

You're right consumers have the right to complain about anything, though to that same notion, not all complaints have to be, nor should they be taken seriously.

Actually they should be taken seriously, as without us they have nothing. Their line will just be a waste of funds on the manufactures, by poor choice of paint, poor design, poor engineering and so on. Like if theyre trying to sell us a item, it has to be good. Like do you think a figure with a lot of issues and all would sell great or keep the line going? No. That's what happened with those Megaman figures from Jazwares Inc. They were HORRIBLE! And such, no one purchased them at all and thus the line died. As to the D-Arts line ones, they were a success of course given how much detail, articulation and such in them.

We are the consumers, if you expect us to purchase your item, well make it appealing with no flaws. And with that if the price of that item is high to begin with, then you expect it to be top notch, no paint errors and no loose joints and all. If so such things happens their should be a good service for fixing these issues. Good Smile Company takes their figma line seriously as their figures are very well designed, sculpted, and paint applications. And is such great errors are found, they offer a replacement service. The same with Real Action Heroes.

But if a company wants to their product line to continue, then they should take complaints and such seriously as theyre trying to sell us their product. Feedback is always good to companies as those are the key points of improving their product. But of course some don't listen and just keep on producing their products with errors as such the sheep consumers just purchase and purchase and purchase.

But over all, we as consumers have the right to complain.

But anyways, back to Goku, isn't there a way to protect the decal on the front and back of the figure? I thought of spraying a matte finish over it. As I would REALLY hate it if it scratches, chips off, or fades due to handling of over time by our natural oils in our hands.

Consumers have the right to complain about anything you want to the appropriate distributor. The fact you are wailing on a forum isn't that. It's the equivalent to going to the library and yelling out about how you don't like the new Stephen King novel. So, just sell your books and let us continue our quiet little book club, please. The only right as a consumer you have is the choice to making a purchase or not. They are doing anything illegal or morally grey, so no, you have no right to anything. The fact that the current age of elitist consumerism and Youtube white knights lead the easily convinced into believing anything otherwise boggles my mind.

To add something of relevance. Hopefully how this release both sold and was handled will pave the way for future releases. In both how they were unable to meet supplier requests and how the booth was ran. It was an easy mistake considering for a while they had trouble getting rid of their Vegetas. Also, the fact that it was more than just a repaint is much appreciated. Additional little changes to the belt and decals hopefully will lead to things like battle damage being included, etc.

Also, if the line continues to grow, there is also a chance so will the amount of exclusives. Like how certain retail stores get a set stock, maybe figuarts will see that love eventually.

Actually, wailing on, ranting, complain on a forum is ok as some companies look into them for feedback on their products. Like in this case, they'd look into DBZ forums and not like a Marvel comics forum to get feedback. But again some companies will do it, as we can tell perhaps Bandai hasn't as we are still getting the Goku body with the stupid knee gap problem.

But your right about the consumer has the right to just purchase it or not. Don't like it, move on basically. But that doesn't quite happen, as companies actually improve their products, like Good Smile Company improved on their joint engineering of their figmas.

Jazwares Incs Megaman line sucked, fans/consumers complained, Jazwares didn't improve, consumers stopped purchasing, thus the line died. But it all depends on the company.

But wailing on a forum is quite ok actually. As they say, staying quiet could actually mean that someone is wrong.
