If someone thinks this is better in the scale figures section then please move it. I posted it here for a general info piece for everyone.

So a while ago (before I joined this forum) I was looking at the 1/16 figures on Wish. I was ordering something else too so put them all on the same order as I had a discount that made it free delivery.

Anyway I decided to get 2 WW2 German tank riding figures (attached image) for a total of £27

They arrived today and the quality isn't great in my opinion but these are the first printed figure's I've gotten. Thoughts?
One had a snapped gun which wasn't a great start but everything else looked ok except the quality which is going to need quite a bit of trimming and milliput.

I checked my order as it was such a long time ago and realised they aren't actually the figures I ordered!

Contacted Wish support with images expecting it to be a 'return item for a refund' situation however the support agent just issued me with a full refund!

So now I have these two figures that will need a lot of work to get looking good but I can't complain for free!

Also I got a completely free 1/72 'random' tank. Which turned out to be a Russian JSU-152.

For my next resin figure purchase where do people recommend and is the quality of figure I received the norm with these?

Thanks

I print these, I wouldn’t charge that much though…

Quality looks good. How would you rate the ones I received?

I would have sent them back, the quality control is somewhat lacking….

I have that same tank rider and I ordered directly from the original sculptor, Jeff Shiu. It requires a bit of clean up and one small piece was broken but easily glued back together. I didn’t care much for the rag wrapped around his head so I carved it off. I haven’t made much progress but here’s a couple of pics.

All my asian figures looked like that. Those are not printed, but casted. After just a little bit of job they look as good as the original pictures.

I was preparing for that and to get a refund but they let me keep them!

That what happens when you purchase "Boot Leg" Chinese ripoffs!
