My tracking seems to be quite active during their holiday, i'm surprised GDI shipped it out during their time off.

So it's not just me. Zack's legs are loose on mine as well
His shoulder straps aren't as good as Cloud's either and the infamous short neck issue.

Was there any resolution to the short neck thing? Like a longer peg we can buy?

Mah goodness,Have you tried massaging the dented areas if it would loosen the distortions on the surface?

That's a shame.. doesn't sound like production was up to par with previous releases. I wonder what changed in the manufacturing process. Hopefully these issues are resolved in the next rollout .. disappointing to say the least
Yes, it made it worse, you can actually feel in indentation inside…

Real shame about all the QC issues especially after all the delays the figure went through. Thought GT Boss was working on making the quality better through that long delay and process? Wonder what happened.
Maybe, but when they don't have QC problems they are way above the usual brands that make manga/video game figures like Threezero, VTStoys, Asmus toys etc...
And their prices are also much higher, so GT is not an ordinary brand.
This is truly unacceptable...
And GT had the brilliant idea of making a (useless) full silicone body, so we won't be able to just change the arms like the Cloud Remake.....
So how will GT manage all these problems??
For many this figure is a holy grail, there is no question of having all these defects at this price, and after having waited so long.

Well all these defects are really disheartening. Like few others I just got my deluxe from Kit and it was posted last week (should be here soon). So this means mine is one of the first batch? I will thoroughly inspect mine and let you know how mine fares.
Fingers crossed I hope mine have no defects.

Praying everyone’s figures are (at least) not so bad they don’t still love them. I’m a crafter at heart, so I tend to see damages as a puzzle to overcome, but that doesn’t change the fact that they shouldn’t be there.
GT may not be a “premium brand” in title, but I think once your goods cost a certain amount you have a bit of premium brand responsibilities. This is definitely their first BIG release mess up though, so I’ll give them a chance to make it right.

Bingo - these sets were a lot of money, only available to order for a very limited period of time and delayed by a half year on the assurance that GT wanted to make sure they got it right. Put all that together with their presentation of themselves and track record, and you can already see the expectations being built.
Just unboxed the bike and noticed the left arm has snapped off while in transit.
Also the goggles was rolling around and the ends have snapped.
Also some swords also has pressure rub from the plastic blister.

Bloody nora, not good. Is the arm reattachable or completely broken?

Maybe Its time to re-consider those full silicon body figures in future releases noh? they should stick back to those swappable jointed x seamless arms.
They could improve the packaging but theres no assurance during shipping ang problems may happen along the way so id rather have those options.

I think the seamless body is good because it has so much more possibility over the other releases and if it hold up to cracking like they've suggested I don't see it being much of a problem. Moving forward GT just really need to nail down on their QC and sort the packaging out. I'm fine with the new packaging but they could do with some foam sheets to protect the important parts from the plastic similar to what hot toys do.
Likewise, I will be getting mine in the mail soon too and once I do, I will report back to the group here
