Now this is a hell of a nose Regardless of quality, I cannot in good concience support a company like Demoniacal Fit. I do hope that Tamashii is compelled to increase quality and range of characters as a result. Thats the only way to win. Why not Cuz of the "stolen molds" thing?. If something as big as a Hollywood movie production can listen to fans and stop filming to rework what the fans concerns are about aka Sonic, then why can't the same happen when voicing our frustrations with things like this? As others have pointed out its laziness plain and simple. I have no problem giving my money to a company that creates an in demand quality product that bandi tamashi wont!

I assume you're talking about the Sonic film but that's not a great comparison to make here... The Sonic film is in early post-production, though their timeline might be pushed back slightly, they are still at an ok stage to make edits to the CG throughout the film. The Vegeta Figuarts on the other hand is complete, that's why we're seeing pics of it now, changing it now would require a full recall which can cost insane amounts of money and likely delay future products (also costing them money).
Wasn't really referring to direct comparisons tit for tat, more so the same concept of listening to your fan/ customer base as this isn't the first time they have done this. I imagine it's all about cutting cost and laziness in quality control. But let's get real we can cry all we want, and I am with everyone on this I think the face looks terrible, but they know it will still be bought and sold out regardless. If anyone has it (if they even have one) an email for feedback to tamashi bandi post it and everyone voice their complaints!

You're not wrong, they could do much better than they have been, recent Marvel Figuarts are a perfect example. I won't spoil Endgame for those who haven't seen it but I'll just say the new Thanos figure is not accurate to the film and it'd be very easy for them to fix it but I don't see it happening. As for the Gogeta nose, I've seen people complaining about it elsewhere too but it's accurate to the film, for some reason AT/Toei decided to give him a big nose with his re-design. Go and watch the close-up shot when he uses Kamehameha and you can see it pretty well

As others have pointed out its laziness plain and simple. I have no problem giving my money to a company that creates an in demand quality product that bandi tamashi wont! You're comparing apples to oranges, but I do see your point. To address this point properly, would require an in depth explanation of how companies like Bandai work. It'd require an in depth discussion and explanation of the process by which a product is produced. I'd like to skip all of that and try to explain it in short; the reason is that Bandai is a company that holds profits above all else. As they are publicly traded and their biggest concern is making sure the stock holders are happy. Now to address why I do not support Demoniacal Fit or other unlicensed manufacturers: a.) They hurt the industry. As I mentioned above Bandai is a publicly traded company, whose #1 priority is making sure their investors (stock buyers) see a return on said investment. If Bandai starts to see a decline in sales with a certain line of figures, they might axe that entire line. They have to respect and protect the "bottom line". Think about how many figure lines have simply stopped seeing production over the years. It doesnt take much to make the "bean counters" at a company decide to chop something from their line up. b.) Bootleg/counterfeit/unlicensed toys have a recorded history of producing products that are composed of carcinogenic (cancer causing) materials. Also common are lead based paints. They use these materials because they are cheaper. They also dont have to abide by the safety regulations that legitimate manufacturers do. c.) It undermines the intellectual property of creators like Akira Toriyama and the laws that are supposed to protect these kinds of property. d.) It bolsters and contributes to what is an already out-of-control counterfeiting industry in China. This industry has robbed the world and its innovators of billions of dollars by stealing intellectual property and then producing products with cheap, some times dangerous, materials. This is an issue that affects many different industries in the world. In essence what I'm saying, is that innovators and creators work hard to make a product. The Chinese counterfeiting industry steals it (be it a mold or intellectual property like character designs) and produces it with exploitative labor, dangerous materials and zero regulation. They then profit from this. This is unethical. Do I understand why people buy these counterfeit figures? Sure, I do. What I hope is that Bandai works harder to produce a wider array of figures and a higher level of quality, without raising the price. This is much of the motivation I see for people buying these figures and Bandai could stop it in its track by working harder to compete.

Waiting for an announcement for UI Goku is killing me. We saw Jiren last year as a prototype, but have heard nothing about Goku.
