Dear collectors,
Here are the latest production returns received before the Chinese New Year period.
The first factory returns (T1):
We are very happy to have received the first return from factory (T1) of Natsu - Ikigai. We are satisfied with this first return but there are still some improvements to be made, especially in the following areas:
• The color of Igneel's scales
• The color of Igneel's scales
• The black of the clothes, not being intense enough
• The color of Natsu's skin
• The accuracy of the effects of the flames
Concerning the deliveries of this statue, please refer to the last Prod’ Update published on our website last December.
Straight from the future, we also received the first factory return (T1) of Trunks' Time Machine - HQS Dioramax (1/6).
For this first return, we are globally satisfied with the appearance of the statue, nevertheless many points remain to be improved:
• The mat effect of the rocks
• The texture of Trunks' pants
• The position of the "Hope!" sticker on the Time Machine
• The overall cleanliness of the statue
• The interlocking
We already know that the Time Machine element will come in one piece in the boxes when delivered.
Concerning the deliveries of this statue, please refer to the last Prod’ Update published on our website last December.
The inimitable The Joker - HQS Dioramax has just arrived for its first return from the factory (T1).
We are very happy with the overall look of the piece, however, considering the details of this statue, we have worked more on improving the following points:
• The look of the Joker cards
• The engineering of Harley Quinn's ropes and balloon
• The transparency of the green smoke resin
• The overall cleanliness of the piece
We are also pleased to present the alternative base that will be included to display the second character for owners of the DELUXE version of the statue.
Please refer to the last Prod’ Update published on our website last December to know the estimated delivery period of this statue.
Sample Prod (SP):
The Sample Prod are three statues taken from the production line in order to control its quality, but also to be able to carry out the breakage tests, which are essential to begin deliveries. This is the final version of the product.
For Andromeda - HQS+, the breakage tests have been successfully completed. To know the estimated delivery period of this statue, please refer to the last Update published on our website last December.
We also received the Sample Prod from Kuzan - Ikigai, corresponding to the final version of the product. We have also done the breakage tests, which went very well.
To know the estimated delivery period of this statue, please refer to the last Update published on our website last December.
As expected, we also received the Sample prod of Izuku Midoriya - Ikigai & Katsuki Bakugo - Ikigai. The breakage tests have been done on these two references. The breakage tests for Izuku Midoriya - Ikigai went well.
However, the breakage tests for Katsuki Bakugo - Ikigai failed. Therefore, we have to review some of the packaging engineering and perform breakage tests again in order to start deliveries soon. These modifications will slightly modify the delivery time. We will be able to communicate on these delays at the end of the Chinese New Year period, in the coming weeks.
To know the estimated delivery period of this statue, please refer to the last Update published on our website last December.

Reminder:
We are currently in the period of the Chinese New Year. Our factories are currently closed. The usual rhythm should gradually return to normal in the coming weeks. An update on the delivery periods will be communicated at that time.
