I didn't notice the visible seams on the Duke. At least not during the live video. I really hope he addressed the issue. Where did you pick up on that?

during the video, he spins Duke around and the right hand seam on the neck and below the shoulder joint is fully visible, plus when he moves the right arm around to position it upwards, there's a MASSIVE gap as it's clearly been molded to be positioned in one pose, not factoring in the full articulation and just looks odd as a result

also, it's a massive shame that he still can't get hold of metallic plastic, given the bin is a peach plastic with silver paint over the top (he shows inside and the entire inside is just peach!)

what could have been a great figure has disappointed me (again) as he's clearly just cheaped out the whole deal again

Sounds like it might be best for you to move on and focus on the other lines perhaps 🤷🏻‍♂️

The inside of the can appears to emulate rust perhaps? Remember how washed out Savio looked? I believe this is a similar situation and the inside of the trash can is probably more of an orange. I would have preferred silver or gray myself but it’s not the end of the world.

I saw that. What a shame. Looked promising. Moving on from Garbage and Gimmicks.

I already have, I was looking forward to Duke as he was a character I wanted a figure of, sadly, G+G hasn't done him justice and it's not worth paying his prices for IMO

with any luck, another company will likely make a better version down the line, and if they don't.... it's not like I've missed out on a quality figure anyway

Put your money where your mouth is and make your own retro figs! No one likes a backseat driver.

Let’s try and end it there. Everyone is allowed an opinion of these figures but coming into threads just to bash on the company and things others enjoy gets really stale and tiresome. There are so many better things to do on this forum and elsewhere. Again, opinions are fine but the majority of us aren’t posting here to have others drag us down repeatedly.

OK, cleaned up this thread. ENOUGH with the fighting!

Got Duke and Oscar today. I really like both of them, I just wish mitch would add some gloss to the paint. Oscar has some shine to him but Duke is very matte.

[taserface]

Got my Duke today. This my first G & G figure, and I have to say I like it a lot. I would like it to have a little shine too, but still I’ll take it.

Very pleased with it, and I wasn’t expecting to be honestly

[sbayunco]

I received my Oscar today. Will say the carding is much improved. The seams are more visible on the left side but haven't opened the package.

Got my figures today but am still too ill to enjoy opening them/taking photos.

[Prophet of Ash]

got Oscar and Duke today. my only complaint is how how small Duke's trashcan is. otherwise, a dead fit with my collection and the original Hasbro line in my opinion. G&G is quickly becoming my favorite retro line

[VinMan]

Got Oscar and Duke yesterday. Nice figures. Glad to add them to the collection. Looking forward to Rougeau's and Quebecers.

Got my Oscar and Duke!! Here are some pics for those wondering about the paint and seams. Oscar the paint on the seams on the shoulder dont match the paint on his arms on mine (Maybe needed another coat of paint). Oscar and Duke has some small scuff on the figures nothing mayor. The seams are way better than the Godwinns even though they dont really bother me too much to begin with. Overall I like them

[mrh]

The Drose face just does not look like a Hasbro to me, but that's me. OMG is just in a different league...

How do G&G figures feel in hand? Sturdy? Fragile? Etc...
