- Here is my Earthworm Jim DNA figure I purchased from AliExpress about a week ago and arrived today.
I am really happy with it and it doesn't feel cheap at all.
Comes with all the accessories and fits well with the retro toy line!
Thanks for looking.
There's something a bit insulting after paying full price 2 years ago for figure that keeps getting pushed back while AliExpress provides one for £15
I think these are defects from the factory which also explains the set back bc all their other lines released
@@johnsee7360Premium DNA explained on their Facebook that they've started shipping out from China, meaning Chinese sellers got stock much earlier
I fully believe that these are not damaged stock, not rejects, not bootlegs etc.
Given the company's history, I am more leaning towards an issue with paying the manufacturer. At which point the manufacturer would liquid their stock sending off full pallets that end up on aliexpress. The quality is there, the painted details are all fine. And in my opinion as a collector my whole life, it takes some time before you start seeing bootlegs of figures, not very likely to me that there are thousands of bootleg jims floating around online before the toy has even left the warehouse.
I say rejoice because we are getting a severely overpriced figure for a much more sensible price, I'm more than happy to cancel my bbts order and get the whole line for cheap. Finally some cosmic justice against megalopolis.
Companies now use CAD files which can be obtained by bootleggers, even so it can still take months to a year to get a bootleg version out. Factories need to be hired, molds made, etc.
@@diosoth thanks for educating me about that, and I'm glad your knowledge tracks with them being authentic as well. I did see a new post from Premium DNA stating that there are no knockoffs floating around, and that none of the figures being sold are the rejected batch. According to the company itself, these are geniune. Glad I went ahead and grabbed the whole wave plus a few Jim's!
I ordered directly from PDNA and can't cancel my order. How could they have these released on Aliexpress for half the price while PDNA didn't even ship to their customers yet? What the actual FK?
Can u drop the volume lower? I can almost hear ur voice
The qc overall, does it feel cheap?
No doesn't feel cheap but I don't know what the real thing feels like
@@sinnerz7 Thank you. Good enough reason for me to buy.
@@sinnerz7I don't think you have a "knock-off" per say. The legit ones were supposed to launch by Q2 2024. Reportedly they finished 1 batch that Premium DNA were not happy with. The big box stores are still not releasing theirs yet. I'm speculating these figures are from that first batch
@@sinnerz7 These are real deal alright, not bootleg.
Its original or bootleg?
There’s no bootleg man it’s the same figure.
@@oldirtydave22I agree, these are the genuine thing.
Premium DNA messed up and lost their stock of these, but they're probably still working on getting some. So they post on IG about how these are no good/rejected due to quality (lol), and they convince people to wait and pay them 50 bucks for the same figures.
Crazy to me that anyone would believe a word from PDNA when they were just stealing people's money as Megalopolis a few years ago. This is a big win for Earthworm Jim fans.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
Any qc issues with it yet? I am wondering if they are the legit figs that were meant to start shipping this quarter. Premium DNA has said they received an initial batch and had them returned as they didn't meet their standard for quality.
Was wondering how he’d look on that old school rocket accessory! Nice.
Really been stoked about this figure, glad they popped up on AliExpress, dunno if I’m going to cancel the preorders or just the ones we’re not seeing on the platform (Professor Monkey for a Head, and the Boxers Exclusive EWJ)
Mate! This is quality! Look forward to seeing more content from you 😎👍
Whats the pricepoint? Looks great tbh
I'm pretty sure I still my original Playmates Jim buried somewhere with my other old stuff. I still want to grab the official one of this Jim.
Bought the "bootleg" too not sure if it's the real one either
Not only can I buy these below retail, but I don't have to enrich TenNapel's pockets by buying them. Excluding the fact he's a godboy fundie hatemonger, he didn't create EWJ but rather stole ownership & credit from the real creators so I don't feel like supporting him.
Now watch subhumans who won't buy Bud Light, M&Ms, watch X-Men 97 etc get mad at me for not giving money to someone I can't stand. "It's different when we do it!"
With no disrespect to the channel, I don’t think you have to worry about the repercussions or salty comments to you “sticking it” to TenNapel.
I don't think these alliexpress jims are bootlegs, I think they're "rejects". I've been in contact with the guys at premium DNA and they said they had to send a big shipment back to the factory in china (where the figures are made) cause they weren't up to snuff. I think those rejected figures might now be on alliexpress.
It's insane. If they just did it up to retail standards it would have been fine. Now they wasted time and money on something they have to now fix.
Banjo had some issues too with shipping.
I had one ordered for Christmas. Shipping was so late my spouse canceled it through credit card....and then they shipped it AFTER the money was refunded.
They bleed money with silly things like qc return fixes and not paying attention to shipping
@@herewego8686 well it happens with small companies, but they do what they can to fix the issue. like I got the battletoads figures and the one for zitz had 2 left forearms (so he didn't have the communicator on his right arm). I brought this up in a comments section jokingly (cause I didn't really care cause it didn't affect the figure at all) but they got ahold of me and sent me a whole new zitz figure free of charge.
Well that's "Chinese Quality" for you.
I got the Battletoads line. Overpriced toys that are of okay quality but still well below what Mattel sells for 1/3 the price. I traded in to my local comic store for the, I would not have paid real money for the things. I question them having any real standards for what they might reject. Even Super7 stuff is better at the same $55 asking price & those are also too expensive. I'm wiling to bet the statement is damage control as they've had a shady history of not paying factories before.
