Loving these figures, feels like a lot of love and research went into them. I’m not buying the excuse premium dna put out, I think that was some kind of damage control attempt or excuse to dismiss some incompetence. Or hell, given the history them not paying feels like the more believable excuse. Like the joints are tight, parts swap and pop out easily, we get a paint oops or imperfection with just about any brand, these things are sealed, the text isn’t broken English or a goofy “what were they trying to say..” translation, all accessories are accounted for and they haven’t spontaneously exploded into a ball of fire. I think we’re good. Until something goes wrong with these or somehow the pre-ordered versions come out looking leagues better, I’m just happy to own figures from a game I loved as a kid in this capacity.
@@Jas-1119 I could'nt be happier with these. It's hard to believe how good the quality is, for how cheap they are on Ali Express. - I don't know how they'd improve these. And the minor paint bleed here or there doesn't seem like a plausable reason for the entire wave to be "not good enough." - There's no issues with the joints or accessories, either. Or the packaging, as you've pointed out. Overall, these are just brilliant. I don't know how they haven't sold out yet. - Time will tell is Premium DNA follow up with an official dispatch of these, through their channels. Or weather this is the only place to get them. Will be interesting to see what happens with this line from here. - I've got Bob & No. #4 coming in the next few days, too. The only one I haven't found yet for cheap is Professor Monkey for a head. - Thanks for checking out my video ❤️
I'm waiting on delivery for Bob & No.4. - Been in contact with the seller. Hopefully I'll have him to look at soon. Grab these while you can, at the price they're at. Brilliant figures, especially for how cheap they can be picked up for on Ali Express!
from what premium DNA said, there was a shipment earlier this year from their factory in china that didn't meet their standards and were all sent back. I think these ali express earthworm jim figures are those rejected figures.
it should be noted these are the same people that stole customers pre-order money in a previous company. so i don't trust the company spokesman based on that history. the rumor of them not paying warehousing fees and losing a shipment is just as likely.
@@troymikjaniec2143 they are not the same people. the people from megaopolis (or however it's spelled) that were screwing people over were the CEOs, premium DNA was formed by the guys who designed stuff for the company. and again, DNA has already explained the situation.
@@aliteralchad7128 not all the figures would've had QC issues or even noticeable ones. the really bad ones were probably discarded and the good ones were resold. I've also seen a review of one of the jims that had a bunch of paint issues and the snot accessory had a really nasty molding issue. if they weren't paying the factory then they wouldn't be getting a new shipment this month.
I believe there's a rumor that these are rejects or defects but thats not the case. PDNA has not done proper distribution, settling warehouse fees so theyve been distributed in china via ali.
I can't find any defects on mine. Just some minor paint QC. Nothing major that would require the entire wave to be returned as rejects. Other than abit of paint rub, i'd say these are close to perfect. No different to the odd paint QC than can happen with most figures.
The ones I received from AliExpress have huge sticker labels stating they were manufactured by a company other than P.DNA. Also my Pys-Crow came with two (black) right arms.
@@arnoldtoledo589 possible you get defects. Since these didn't go through QC and went straight from factory to selling it in ali express. So its possible to get ones with certain matters.
@@arnoldtoledo589 One of mine has a sticker on the box. Says Manufacturer: "Shanghai Xianye E-commerce Co., Ltd." - But, this could be the factory that had the contract to produce these, as everywhere else on the packaging is branded "Premium DNA". Logos, Info, everything. The two of the same arm is strange though, but there's been reports that all these on Aliexpress are from a rejected run, due to defects and such.
Can I ask which AliExpress store did you buy from? I bought from the WMK store since they sell them for good price, but they have terrible packaging (just black plastic bag and bubble wrap) which my Jim figures ended up getting damaged from shipping.
@@CulsCave Just the box, the figures are fine. I'm a box collector (I do take the figures out to play) and the box packaging look really nice so it sucks that my Jim and the Psy-Crow figures all got their box smashed.

Yea this figure deff has no QC or standard issues they clearly didn’t pay the factory

Wow! Most impressive.
Thank you!

@@ToyCrypt-ir7nk yeah. Originals can have defects. Even pricey ones like shf mafex have same. This is just caused by bad distribution.

I got mine from "Figures Collector store "
- Figures Collector Store
a.aliexpress.com/_EIrmQV9
- They were protected with good bubble wrap.
The figure got damage or Just the box got damaged?

Why r comments disabled on the jim video?
