It's sad to see how badly the mold has degraded. Parts not fitting, warping, etc. It's a fantastic figure, it's a solid mold and it's transformation is among the most difficult, but it's time to either retool it and make it new or retire it.
If the product coming out of it is going to be like what's seen with APS-01U, it's not going to get better, only worse.
Shame, because it deserves better.

What are you talking about? Who says the mold is degrading?

Just received the Facebook message from one of the clients of mine located in Germany.He got his APS-01U today and is really disappointed! Sloppy paint job, not movie accurate at all, some parts have missing paint applications .Simply said not worth it. Just as I predicted in the past. Giving something name "ultimate" doesn't mean ultimate!

Wrong - it was so fans could spend money.
I predict this one will go on sale.
