Still waiting on mine and am expecting a less than perfect collar.
But, I also did not order this when it was first offered. When I realized my mistake, prices were at least three times what I was able to get the version 2.0.
Perhaps someone will make an upgraded shirt as they did the upgraded tie?
 
Looks like the incorrect hand is a common error as well...

I used Asta's and Chris Kaplan's pictures as examples, I believe the hand at the bottom right (circled) is the erroneous hand. BOTH boxes have the same problem. Looking at pictures of the v1 in the box, the hand should be a looser gripping hand to match the one above it. The mistake is even placed palm-up unlike all the others.

The only two photos of the v2 box yet, and both have the error. Not good, Mars. Not good.


Asta + other have same wrong hand 7-12-23.jpg

Good spot. I hadn't thought to compare other photos as I assumed it was a one-off.

The hand they're missing is the left trigger same as mine.
 
What is the difference of the collar? I really cannot see it…

This was my 1.0 straight out of the box:

This is everyone's 2.0 out of the box:

I glued the collar closed as tight as I could. It was a struggle getting the sculpt in, and yet this was the best I managed (1.0 on the left, 2.0 on the right):

The 2.0 just doesn't have the sharp natural tailoring of the 1.0.
 
Sadly, I have a feeling this is an error that will be corrected in later batches (the hand anyway, the collar sounds like a factory order mistake for the lot)... but too late for me.
 
Asta, can you confirm that the v1 and v2 have the same length coat sleeves?

In the box photos, the sleeves of the v2 show some wrist, which the box pics on the v1 never did. But it might be the sloppy way Mars threw the v2 in the box.

They did seem to be too short at first, but after futzing I think they ended up identical to the 1.0. In my photos the sleeves on both cover the tops of the gloves the same.

I don't know how they managed to work out because it doesn't look possible when you see how short they are in the box with his arms straight.

This figure moves in mysterious ways, just like its creator. :unsure:
 
So does the vest itself not want to stay closed? I’ve seen a few photos now where it’s open.
 
Received mine from OSO today. The collar is definitely cut shorter this time around. Not sure why they would mess with the pattern when the V1 collar was fine. No problems with the vest on mine but it should be an easy fix for those that do have problems. I would carefully peel off the fabric strip (looks like it's attached with double sided tape) apply some glue and reposition it so that it's not as close to the edge but also not too far. I had to resew the snaps on my V1 vest because they were sewn pretty sloppily so I much prefer the use of magnets.

Damn nuisance. Why do that indeed?

Must have been a factory mistake is all I can think of. I don't think it will be fixed in later batches, unless it was caught during re-production but then why send out these unless way too many were already done by the time they caught it.

Did you get the proper glove -- or a double as Asta did? Check the hand in the lower right (your right) tray.
 
Yep got a double glove. Missing hand is the left trigger hand. Not that important to me since I wouldn't use that hand but yeah.. it looks like it's a whole batch issue. If it's not a whole batch issue then that is actually worse imo :lol
