>>10222436I've only got the one, and it might be a bad example since the Neca 2019 had its own issues, but the Bootleg 2019 is pretty awful. The joints in the arms are frozen; I've repeatedly hit it with the hair drier, set it down in front of my heater, and run it under hot water and they are still stuck. The face sculpt, which was already lacking in the Neca, looks to have severe mold degradation issues. The paint is incredibly heavy-handed. The eyes are bad, and the degraded teeth aren't painted at all, making him almost look like he has a beak.
>>10224353>does awesome collector get their pre orders the same time as JP stores do? Or do they get it at a different time?It depends. They sometimes do pre-orders for the JP release, which means they get them at the same time, but they ship them from their Japanese operation using EMS, so instead of the $8 or free shipping that they offer with their standard American pre-orders you are going to have for it being shipped by EMS which can get pretty pricy for larger figures. Most of their pre-orders are just the standard American release which means they get them the same time as BBTS and the rest of the NA online retailers.
