If it's a character that gets a lot of figures like Goku, Spiderman, or Wargreymon(since he was posted in the pic) NEVER fucking accept slop because another version is always around the fucking corner. If it's a more niche character in a high quality line, theres a lot of those fuckers where that is likely the best figure that will be available for at least the next half decade so it's a bit more understandable there. There is also the FOMO factor at play. Many figures these days you can't even be sure if the figure won't be shit so It's either preorder blindly or pay the rapetax later on.
Generally though if someone looks like shit or is awful quality I will pass to begin with. I already have enough shit to begin with, so I am being stingier. When I was first started out I was desperate to "fill my ranks" and would literally pollute my display space with stuff like Dragon Stars, Black Series, Chinese third party companies. Big fucking mistake. most of that shit i just ended up getting rid of because it brought the higher quality shit down.
I'm mainly a Dragonball collector and my collection doesn't even have a Cell one of the most iconic characters because there is just nothing out there that meets my standards of the rest of the figures.
>>11028653I was rewarded for passing on this Trunks. Littered with QC issues, then they went ahead and reissued it with all of them gone. now i got a perfect Trunks.
