and their cartoon/comic accurate colors.
But really, when are you doing the right thing as a collector? Do you buy
the first version, even if it has faults, just so you don't miss out. Or hope
their wil be a second run, wich may be a recolor/revised version, with
taking the risk there wil never be a second run.
Honestly, I am very happy with all of the 3rd party manufacturers, but make
up your minds. All of us got screwed at some point or will be in the future.
Of course i understand that this i just business for them, but i cant justify
myself into buying everything twice.

This one is even worse, the colors stay the same, but this one gets a new head and revised engineering supposedly. Couldn't they decide to get the engineering right in the first place? I've got no problems with mine, but would I have waited, I would've gotten a better version for the same pricing.

I bought 3 Hegemon figures when it first came out, one after the other, because I kept experiencing QC issues that drove me nuts. I sold them all, and swore Hegemon off, but have been lured back by the second release. The new head should be good, I'm glad he doesn't come with that sword (I've got the Dr. Wu's much nicer Tyrant Sword, need be), and hopefully he DOES come with some new engineering/fixes and a higher quality build.
KFC is... KFC. Their figures are just badly made. If they had gone with a higher quality plastic for their Mugan figures, and made the shoulder mounted scope more secure, I think people would have eaten that mold up. Also, I'm not sure why this Maniaking recolor would lead people to conclude UT & KFC are the same company... I mean, iGear has done it too, and no one's claiming iGear is the same as UT or KFC.
Back to Maniaking - I think I've had enough time to get acclimated to the aesthetics. The horns, lack of wrist swivel, and monkey arms (where's Arctorro!!??) don't bother me as much, especially with that gorgeous deco. Oy - I think I'm going to buy him. Crap.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

I think it all depends on how much you like the toy in the first place. I brought Igear Brawn because I thought it was the best Brawn out there and I like it even with it's faults (Upsize legends) than Igears came out with cartoon accurate colors while I like it more I'm ok with what I already have. (although I'm still tempted to sell it and get the newer one) For Maniaking I never liked it enough to buy it in the first place So I guess this works out for me as the new one looks much nicer (to me).. but I'm still not sure if I want to get it. now if they just added wrist rotations!!

Is this just Acestoystore that is cancelling or will other sites do the same?
Liked the light up led light on the second release. Felt sucker punched due to myself buying the first version. Would have preferred the canon part be clear Orange.
