- I received this Earthworm Jim from Aliexpess over a week ago, and finally decided to do an unboxing video to see what the figure is like. Later, I'll do a comparison with the final product.

I’ve seen worse paint jobs on official figures. Definitely getting this
@@fieryvengeance2795 Especially at their price, right?
Excellent sculpt all around, looks just like TenNaple's art 👍
Finally the only other English language review of this guy in the past two weeks lol. He's an awesome figure
I loved this game when it released, like ToeJam and Earl. Any figure from something like this must be a real treat. Looks killer
A few notations from this video.
Premium DNA was bought back from Megaopolis after investors sold it back to the owners. EE is who screwed over customers.
These are factory defects. Jim is missing his backpack flap on many of these shipping. Many are coming with paint smudges and issues.
PDNA stayed quiet at the licensees request. They only were able to make a statement once I went to them with the rumors that were going around.
I hope this helps others!
I got mine over the weekend as well. I don’t know what to think of these, my copy has its issues. I feel like that “defect” or whatever premium dna was just some kind of damage control.
The leg near the holster fights me and it feels like it doesn’t want to kick out fully. I’m going to hit it with some heat after work and see what that does for it.
I get an occasional paint flake, the same head as yours has a bit of a goofy eyebrow or black line as well.
My Snott definitely ports into the back a bit more smoothly and doesn’t have that grey crust, but on one of the Snotts his eye is a bit wonky like the paint didn’t sit.
I feel like this is normal stuff we get with figures time to time. Be it Hasbro, Neca, Jada, McFarlane, or the imports.
My Psy-Crow gives me more black flakes and I’ve been handling these gingerly as hell. I’m just happy they’re available in some capacity and not falling apart.
Factory rejects that are packaged and sealed lol, yeah I don't beileve it at all
I might get this for the sake of nostalgia,the figure size and accessories seems ok
Be great to run this back with the eventual shipment from Premium DNA to compare the two to see if the final product was worth the delay.
Man this thing looks amazing I'm buying it now
I may have to go this route too. That's pretty nice for the price
I took the risk on one. I really wanted the figure but not at the full $50 bbts price. For what I paid to Ali I'm happy. No noticeable paint issues on mine. Minor flaking. The torso articulation seems like the biggest weakness on mine. I won't swap heads too many times as that ball feels like a failure spot
Grabbed mine last night with the heads pack
I wasn't able to cancel my preorder from premium DNA or I woulda just gone with this ali express figure due to the much cheaper price, but I did grab the heads pack off ali for like $8 for when my figure does eventually come in. oh, and the paint flaking is from the wrist joints, this happens any time you try to paint wrist joints, I've had it happen with a few NECAs, as long as the plastic isn't a different color then it won't matter.
@buzzsawgr81 Right. I've had most Toon TMNT NECA figures and there were definitely issues with paint flaking years ago, especially on their larger figures, but I don't recall seeing it on any of their toon figures in the last year.
It's my belief it was a problem that was corrected. The issue I saw here with the first paint flake was that I moved an elbow, with a white joint, and suddenly a blue flake falls off the wrist with no contact. Even after the video I found even more paint flakes from just handling the figure.
If I was in QC from Premium DNA, I'd definitely have failed this figure.
I'm really curious how the new batch will be as they are supposed to ship this month.
Fingers crossed that they actually arrive in hand, and I can compare the two to confirm any differences.
The one had a head with scuffed up eyes, the other head had paint slop, but the head I wanted to use was fine. I hope your head pack doesn't have issues. I didn't order it myself as the head I wanted came with the figure.
Just orderd this and the heads pack from ali express this morning shipped for $54AUD.
Retail for both here is $160AUD. Absurd
It looks awesome!
Thank you for noticing all these flawed details... Hopefully their QC will get better...
looks pretty cool but i'm gonna have pass. Somebody please make a "The Tick" action figure with modern articulation!
@@jakejupiter5905 A figure of The Tick would be awesome. Maybe JADA Toys can take care of us
Indie spotlight series is your best current bet…although you’ll drop anywhere from $150-$300
Whoah Nelly!
It's definitely not bad. But it has no "Wow" factor for me as someone who actually played the game. I can forgive all the QC issues If it only came with the worm whip.
It’s worth taking a shot the full price figure will still have qc that’s unavoidable with any release and aliexpress has free returns for 90 days if you get a really bad one.
I got the figure and the head pack for $21 and they are freaking awesome.
that actullally makes sense but having said that i bought neca slash from alliexpress 3 days after release date nd even the box was prestine
Aside from the stretched snot piece everything seems pretty normal to me. As someone else pointed out there have been worse issues with legitimately released figures. Sometimes a slight paint issue happens. My order is on the way, got both Jim and the extra heads set for like $40. Looking forward to inspecting it.
Let us know how it turns out
@@raleldor It's REALLY good! I would say it's perfect. There was some very VERY slight paint chipping when I tested the articulation but only from the visible joint at the arm pits. And that's hardly noticeable at all. I would not classify that as factory defect. I'm not familiar with Premium DNA so for all I know that's just how their product is. Overall I'm extremely pleased as I only paid $41 for two sets (also got the alternate heads) that would have cost me about $90 through BigBadToyStore.
I waited almost 3 years for my Battletoad I pre ordered.
Omg I need it!!!
Bad luck w/ the paint defects. My copy was almost perfect minus a slight dimple on the left thigh paint. Which seller did you go through on AE?
How ironic I just bought this from Ali!
Got Jim and his spare head set for just under $50!
If there are some blemishes...I'll be okay with it. It's for display purposes anyway. If I have to break out my acrylic paints for minor touch ups...so be it.
Nice !!!
I'm having trouble understanding this. It's this troubling because it's from premium DNA or Ali Express?
We're assuming the issues are from these being factory rejects bring sold on Ali, but we haven't seen the official release yet to compare.
They are bad batches, I ordered 1 and it arrived today with a lot of defects, the hand peg hole on the right arm was not made right so the hand kept falling out and I bent the foot to move it down and it snapped off, I collect a lot of figures and I always heat up the figures first and the foot still snapped off, also the blue straps do not allow the figures torso to move properly and when I warmed up the figure one of the straps melted.
@Lolo-hz5zb aww man.... so sorry
They should of done his rocket ride
it finally released i see
Not yet
You are looking at the figure too critically; official expensive figures also have these problems. I don't think this is any bad figure.
This is the only figure i need to finally finish my toy collection. Im done collecting figures. I have way too many lines😂😂😂
@@jess2322 I know how that is. I'm so out of space
for 23$ he could be alot worse
It's a good thing you didn't buy the Silverhawks figures, right?
I share the belief with Robo that the Silverhawks were never actually real. So it was never a concern for me.
Aliexpress sells a lot of replicas as well.
23 bucks? No way? Dude whats the link to buy one?
Search Earthworm Jim on aliexpress. There are several selling it and the other figures and accessories.
I picked one up for 15.99. Awaiting the arrival. As a shelf display it's great
Are the ones from Ali legit or knock offs? I've ordered Jim and Killer Bob
@@CulsCave I think they are factory rejects
@@raleldor yeah true but still minor defects and great figure :) I ordered mine so hopefully nothing bad
From what I heard, they didn't pay the factory for mad long so the factory sold em
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 that's actually brilliant haha, for us atleast who got them on Ali 👀😄
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 no, the factory sent them a shipment that had a bunch of defects (like what was seen in the video) so DNA sent them back and had them redo the shipment. these figures are from that rejected shipment. like the guy said, it's basically the factory selling them instead of destroying them.
No size comparison?
@@spawndembil Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/4UmwIBL_B3U/v-deo.htmlsi=IPw6_13TeiIf51QK
PremiumDNA is the same company as Metropolis that screwed me over and still owes me $$$ 😡
For 22 dolars 😏
