@@Toygains Yea, it’s been said that the guys behind Premium DNA are same guys who had the online toy shop Megalopolis. They went out of business but not before taking orders & MONEY from customers. They kept the money & never delivered the products ordered then closed shop. That money could very well been used to start up Premium DNA to make these new action figures. Is this true? Maybe… (??)
@@traviswilcox3472 Thats not the whole story, theres more to it thats tied up behind legal stuff with a certain other toy distributor who were the root cause of everything....
I might go in for a $60 figure here or there, but I wouldn’t collect a line that starts at that price point. Like you said, I’d rather spend that buying old figures that I had when I was a kid.
I just got EWJ and the heads from Ali and he’s fantastic. I’ve read they’re not defects.. but they’re from Warehouses that PDNA did not pay for.. so they got sold off to people and now they’re on Ali. Mine is literally perfect. The paint, everything.. it has zero issues. And I can assure you I do not feel bad lol.
QC happens before workers put them in package, there is no way they packaged and seal them if PDNA deem these as defects. Sound like PR bs from PDNA which is not surprising.
they are actually defects if u read any real facts right hahha they are the first batch paint and box defeacts that kept them from being the final product and they had them sitting in a china warehouse hence why its on aliexpress being sold from china hahaha bro just do real research and dont talk from ur thoughts maybe hahaha, ive researched more than 10 different websites and LEARNED THEY ARE DEFECTS i actually have reviews on my channel too and u can defiently see paint and box defects , not all of them are that way some are better than others but they are defiently paint defected figures sent back to the supplier and warehoused in china LOLS THATS A FACT . Mine even had loose joints right out of package so again i had box, paint and joint defects, they are defiently defects not even my opion either u can search and learn about it lols they were the first batch that didnt meet premium dnas standards and i dont blame them, love the ones i picked up but defiently have some issues, i have loose joints box and paint defects , i already know for a fact they sent the box defected ones back for all of the BOX COLLECTORS U KNOW THATS A REAL THING RIGHT???
I thought I would be the only person who would make a video with earthworm jim and Fry from Futurama co-existing but looks like you got to it first lol.
I am not trusting PREMIUM DNA at this point. Facebook no updates- Instagram only 8 post this year. few in JAN and (1) in june showing boxes of this figure. I want that last battle toad to close out the line. Here is SDCC next week doesn't seem like they are going to be there at all. They haven't made a post about it. Or even doing there own stream like some companies do for sdcc week. In this day and age company can't have zero online presents and be successful.
Ya know, 55 bucks is 55 bucks, and for 15, I could see the appeal. I remember playing the hell out of this game as a kid, and I remember not being too into it. The figure though looks great, for a guy with no real desire for this figure, I really like how this thing looks and moves.
@@Jeff-mac-me I was curious and couldn't resist the price. I remember always wanting to like the game, just didn't click. I do however like his design.
I missed the initial UK preorder & then it sold out so i thought stuff it ill try Aliexpress instead. Got Jim & his head pack last wk & they're near enough perfect. Especially for 1/3 the price. Even though they may be back up for preorder, I'd be concerned orders may not be fulfilled. Mainly due to ongoing rumours of PDNA. That said I hope the rumours are wrong & it works out. This line needs additional waves of characters such as the princess & queen slug for a butt.
I've had jim preordered through PDNA since november and I just got tired of waiting and got one of the ali express reject figures with the head sculpt pack (got the head pack and should be getting the figure this week). I'm still gonna get the jim through PDNA (mostly cause you can't cancel preorders from them) and either sell one or have both figures on my shelf with different heads and poses.
I picked up Earthworm Jim as well as Psycrow and Bob the killer fish with #4. each figure is fantastic but I will admit I do have minor gripes, but for about $20 each with shipping, I couldnt pass them up. I would not concern myself over wether or not this affects Premium DNA. I would wager these defects were already written off. Anyway, Great review brother!! Keep'em coming.
Hi TG. I have this on my wishlist at aliexpress for a couple weeks ago and didn't decided yet... It was at 15 and today has rised to 24 🤔 I think they realized they have something good and selling well... Haven't done checkout yet but will shortly coz I want this Earthworm Jim fig and I would like to get it at a good affordable price...🤞 (Checking coupons or some promo to get it lower if I can) Thanks for the review 👍 looks great and I had the doubt on the scale but you shown it's perfect. Thanks man. Cheers 🍻🤘
Im still getting the premium dna one, but did get this and reviewed it. Im going to use it for a custom after i compare this and the retail that im over paying for knowing damn well i dont have it lol
I just received my shipment today but the outside cover box and inner box were crushed. I purchased the figure and extra heads. Cool looking figure.ans i also just subscribed to your channel
Great video dude! This is a really cool figure, but the full price point is a bit high for sure. I still have some of my original Earthworm Jim figures, they were a lot of fun.
Nice review Gains. You almost got me on this one for the price, but it doesn’t fit in my collection. Don’t feel bad you got a great deal, just like picking up a fig from Ollies. Cash is king 😂🤪😂
Let’s take a moment to an acknowledge how impressive him standing on those skinny little legs is. That’s not an easy thing to engineer. I had a fortnight chicken man guy from harbor with those cartoon strongman proportions. Couldn’t stand for shit.
Random thing bit i remember some place is selling figures from these guys for alot cheaper...if i remember right it's ali express...and it's from russia...not too sure tho
PD doesn't sell factory defects, so they can't lose money from you buying them, so give it hell. They arguably deserve to lose money after stealing from their customers. Also if you look up the guy who created Jim, you might not feel so bad about ripping him off too.
@@Toygains Doug Tennapel created Earthworm Jim. Doug has some... historically relevant opinions about minorities and gay people that got him ostracized from the industry. Tallarico is just an asshole, but everybody who worked with him knows that.
I remember the game but never played it,I was more of Street Fighter and MK kinda guy. I liked that Madballs figure you had in the beginning never seen that who makes it and whats the actual name of the figure?
Premium DNA is going to miss out big time. So many people have bought this figure it is insane. I guess it's just Karma coming back around to them from their other company
Respect to you playing Mana and Crono Trigger brother!
@@jojipoji2322 oh man I loved em. Made me feel like I was in another world.

Premiumdna is Megalopolis. Scummy company that scams so don't ever buy from them. Ever. They still owe me hundreds.
Another great review Gains!!
@@fynncobb thanks Fynn! Hope to hear from you tonight at 8.
The only defects I found on mine were a couple paint chips. It's an amazing figure, so much better than I expected.
@@paulmchughcomedy agreed and same with mine

Did you get yours from Ali? Then you have a genuine PDNA figure. As those are all legit and not factory defects or knock offs..
