Just wanted to make people aware of some issues they may encounter with the Tiger Man figure.
The first thing is the size of the necklace. The factory was told to follow exact measurements for the size but it seems as though they got a little lazy. It might appear to be too big but since it's made of string it's an easy fix. Simply cut the string to make the loop smaller and tie it back together. You should notice that necklace is a loop that's been twisted into a figure 8 design. For those of you with a little customizing experience I would suggest popping the head off and making the loops small enough so that the necklace won't slip over it once it's placed back on the body. This is how it was intended to be on the production pieces.
The second thing is it might be difficult to get him to stand on his own. The reason for this is because the boot soles were made of a flexible plastic which resulted in them being slightly curved. The factory was told from the beginning to make the soles from rigid plastic but unfortunately those directions seem to have been overlooked. I asked them to fix the problem but was told that it was too late to be fixed on this production run. I haven't tried it but I'm hoping that if the soles are heated it might be possible to bend them and make them flat enough to fix the problem.
I apologize for these issues and I tried my best to have them fixed before production started. Unfortunately these are the type of problems you have to deal with when getting things manufactured in China.
