My Shion FINALLY came in.
Pretty good overall, fortunately with none of the major issues the other anon had.
Paint apps are without issue, joints are mostly okay, left forearm is a little wiggly, and the hands are difficult to articulate cause the ball joint they connect to is hard to rotate with it so small, the biggest issue i have with the figure so far. The legs do get kinda loose at the hips if you move them in certain positions like a sitting position, but I think that's do the weird hip setup the other anon mentioned, which I think was simple to fix. Haven't done that myself though.
The tail joint is holding up pretty good, doesn't seem to move by itself as far as I can tell, though I found it difficult to articulate her body while she's connected to the stand and not have her tail joint move some, which makes her digitigrade feet move out of position frequently. Getting her standing perfectly with the feet as they should be on a digitigrade is fiddly. Really should have just bitten the bullet and given her plantigrade feet, it'd be so much easier, though now that I have her in hand, I can see why they went for it, it does look nice, and the small feet do fit the character.
Haven't messed around with switching parts out at the moment beyond putting her face plate back on and changing her ears to the folded back version (left ear doesn't fit super well).
All in all, quite happy with her. I was expecting a weak first time figure from new company based on the other anon's info and stories from others, but mine at least seems pretty damn solid.
I will say, I was a bit surprised by how small she is. I knew she was about 160mm (really 150mm without the base), but really was unprepared for how tiny she looks next to my veteran williams's lol. Mostly cause they are not just taller than her but also like 2x as wide.
