Damn, care to elaborate? 😧
As with most third parties, SooSoo entered the game by recasting other people's/companies sculpts. Now they do their own stuff.
Kit has no problem selling other third party recast figures so is clearly fine with other people having their work stolen so long as he isn't on their Christmas card list. Much ado about nothing.

If you're going to take a moral stance, apply it across the board or it's meaningless.

It's a personal stance, his precise choice. It's not a statement to the industry. He owns his place, he decides what he sells. His place, his rules.

It's probably because it was just related to people he personally knew or is friends with. Mars Toys has also stolen and recasted other artists work with their early stuff and they're now doing sculpts in-house, much like SooSoo is but he sells their stuff just fine.

Which, like dante said, is fine since it's his business. He's free to do what he likes with his store. There are always other retailers to get SooSoo stuff. I always go with GianToys when it comes to their figures and they've been nothing but amazing. Even sending replacement parts out promptly when something was broken. Only one I avoid if I can is KGHobby since I had such a bad experience with them last year. Toyswonderland is obviously another I avoid.
 
This is what SST was going for:

This is what I think BT was going for:

Which is what I prefer. Because SST version, while pretty good, it reminds me too much of HT BVS Superman portrait...and I’m not the biggest fan of that sculpt.

I’ll still be getting this no doubt...but currently I think BT portrait is better. And apparently they’re re-working the sculpt right? I hope they don’t deviate too much from the prototype shown.
To me neither sculpt is 100% there, they're stylized and both have their strengths and weaknesses but in the end I think they manage to capture the character in both seasons.

The BuzzToys version could be displayed with the cloak and the Soosoo one without it.

Absolutely! Both have captured enough of cavil where the portraits are undeniably him.

It’s just SST version reminds me too much of the BVS cavill sculpt. Too much to the point where I’m a bit suspicious they actually took that sculpt and made slight adjustments and boom, Geralt.

At first I thought that too,as it reminded me BvS sculpt and thought they just altered it,but no,it's a brand new sculpt,similar expression and the same person, so of course it would look similar. I think it looks just fine. Likeness is close enough to not complain.

You’re definitely not wrong.

It’s just that I’ve seen this Cavill portrait/expression for so long, I was hoping for something along the lines of BT portrait.

Nonetheless I’m still getting this. It’s still a great looking figure.

From what I read long ago, it’s not like they recast like Mars Toys did to a well known artist and sculpt. I think it was the Logan figure, Kit and Eleven made theirs, at the same time Soosoo made theirs too. It was SST earlier product. Kit said SST stole a sculpt from them. What I can see as a spectator is they are both different sculpt. I remember it was an accusation, and the conclusion I thought was Soosoo used Eleven sculpt and modify it to make their own sculpt. I may be wrong, so you can correct me. In the end, it was a different head sculpt, and I don’t know the story from SST side. So that is why Kit doesn’t support them.

I like Kit and he seems pretty chill so there must be a solid reason for it. He’s sticking to his guns so fair dos.
SooSoo weren’t too great back in the Logan days. They’ve come a real long way since then in terms of quality. This is definitely a golden age of third party products.

Vaguely remember drama over their Constantine sculpt, both accused the other stealing the digital files for the sculpt . Think it got pretty mean. The whole situation is different from recasting available sculpts so in defence of Kit I don’t think it’s hypocritical. Didn’t follow the drama and had no interested in a tv Constantine but I think Eleven ended up cancelling theirs because SooSoo rushed there’s out first.
 
Netflix just dropped this limited edition 400 statue. Small but cute tho.
Seems season 2 armour getting more merchandise than season 1 did. While I wasn't a fan of the sculpted abs when it was revealed, I love it now. Happy Soo Soo offered that look and I hope nothing downgrades into production.
P.S. I also wonder if shirt inside armour is a fully removable piece, wonder if we can recreate that casual look. Would be cool.

I look at both version of Geralt, and each has positive and negatives when compared to the other. But one thing everyone forgets to keep in mind these photos are of the prototype versions and may change by the time they are released
