Never believe / trust the product release date from ANY 1:6 brand / manufacturer.
Super Duck's release date is always BULL$%^&. Whatever the release is . . . add 3-12 months to it.
Too many collectors continually believe / rely upon announced release dates and then whine about delays, get anxious, etc.
Once it's officially released in Asia, then allow anywhere from 30 to 90 days (at this juncture) for it to reach the US for 1:6 vendors stateside unless they're ponying up extra $ to have it shipped by air instead of boat given the backlog at virtually all ports and customs within the West Coast.
Don't believe me?
Then please feel free to experience and learn the hard way like many others.

Unfortunately she doesn't stand on her own because the foot pegs are too small for the boots provided. I had prefered if they had made hollow boots. Even with some room they give more support.
The headsculpt looks amazing!

While the aesthetics of the boots are fine, functionally they are perhaps the worst I've ever seen. Even after using tape to make them so tight that I can barely force them onto the ball, there is no support and I can't get her to stand longer than a minute. I was going to take more photos but it became an exercise in frustration management and I was not in the mood to go unpack a stand.
Overall I do like her but I'm not feeling eager to purchase another SD set anytime soon. I feel quite strongly that if I use the recommended body, everything should fit and work. Yes, I can probably eventually customize the boots to work adequately, or replace them, but I shouldn't have to! They had well over a year from preorder to release to get it right and couldn't be bothered. I find that mindset disappointing.

I think that painted hairline can look a bit strange on some pics though. But the outfit and face are pretty.
Diana wrote:I understand your frustration, but to be fair: SD made this set explicitly for the S10D, meaning one of the bigger bodies, so the head would be the right size and the boot holes, too. It would be a shame if you gave up on SD, just because TBL decided to make the pegs smaller for the smaller body. It's not possible to make a plastic boot that fits both the recommend large body (pegs) as well as the smaller ones, no matter how long the wait is. Gotta pick one.

Maybe a misunderstanding here. I did use the recommended S10D body, which is why I was disappointed when the boots didn't fit.rollotomasi wrote:Maybe the holes in the boot-feet are too shallow that they don't full receive the TBL ankle ball.
The problem with mine are the holes are too big in diameter. The leg ball goes in, hits bottom, and there is zero friction. The depth of the hole appears adequate, it's the diameter that is the problem. Given that fact, I fully expected the tape trick to work - and it does to a point - now they at least stay on her legs when I lift her up - it's that the weight is still too much for the socket joint with no additional support at the ankle.
@valentin - great photos! Thanks for showing
My apologies! Apparently my head merged your post and that of suo76. In that case I understand your reaction. The boots I got from the GTToys Explorer also won't hold a pose. Veeery annoying.Annalise wrote:Maybe a misunderstanding here. I did use the recommended S10D body, which is why I was disappointed when the boots didn't fit.
