FireFigures News

[nipperkipper]

Alarm bells keep ringing in my head everytime firefigures makes a post on fb, the english, the avoidance of questions, the fact that the site still says coming soon despite an impending launch of products supposedly minutes away

i just dont get it - either its poor business prep or a scam

Lol yeh, perhaps scam is too strong a word but i dont understand why they cant just say if its licensed, limited, what the price is instead of asking people what they would pay

Yep my complaints as well

If they are legit which I have my doubts, they have the worst communication ever.....well maybe second only to Ubisoft themselves

Well at least their website has changed. Looks like something i would have coded

The delays keep reminding me of the SycoCollectibles saga. They will claim items will be shipped out at the end of the week. 2 weeks later, they will apologize for delays. 2 months later, they show production photos and it's not even painted yet. Another month and they say they are running more delays..

As for FireFigures, they have not even showed us the details yet and they are pressurizing us to be the top 100/ first 100 whatever to order for a free gift.. In the pressure to order early, I hope everyone doesn't forget to check if they are legit.

Besides I don't see any evidence of a proper payment system. Are we supposed to pay upfront and wait for production? Pay via Paypal? If they keep delaying shipment or worse.. If they are a scam, how are we going to get a refund from PayPal after their allowed period?

I'm actually quite a surprised that a new company can produce 4 high quality figures which are apparently ready for sale even before a single one has sold. I thought usually companies would start slow?

Where's their company info? Still no news about the partnership between the company and Ubisoft? Shouldn't 1/6 collectibles make hot news? Seems like I can set up a Facebook page and a half-ready website and show off some custome collectibles me and my friends made?

Already sent a few mails to the few Ubisoft branches in Asia to see if they have any info.. Hopefully they reply back in time.
Apologies for the long post and any speeding to grammar errors, posting from my iPhone..

Ok the site is up and running now, no longer basic code
