Het begint nu wel een echte soap te worden. Onderstaand de reactie van Malte (Funke/Argento) bij de buren van FPM:

Haha, as soon as I saw the picture of the mass production carton with the Jiangxi factory code (40F...) a few days ago, I already knew it would get funny. As the original Leviathan is from Hunan, and Jiangxi is 98% rubbish.
The original sample video was from the same factory in Hunan where I developed the different glittering palm effects with the factory / made the "Leviathan". So I also spoke to the factory earlier this year why they make the copy of our item. The technicians reply was just, that they did not start to make it, and may not have the capacity to make it even though they accepted the order, but I thought it was just an excuse from them.
Anyways, it´s like that: An importer goes to china, wants to make copies of those items, but luckily, the importers all have about 0 quality control, just place some orders to chinese traders and that´s all they do; then the chinese trader places the order to the factory, and normally also checks nothing there during production. If the factory can´t make it for whatever reason, or can´t finish in time, then the traders often just switch the factory, as they want to deliver the orders in time for the season in order to get paid by the importer.
But yeah, as I did many tests for those Gold titanium / Corolla / Brocade glittering palms, as well es for the tail effects, it is unlikely for some random factory to just do it correctly if a trader just sends them the order. If that would be possible, I also would stay home in germany the whole year, and just place orders to random factories which have capacity.
So this is a good example why we often can´t deliver: When faced with such a situation, I chose to wait until the correct factory can make it, and not just check whatever shitty Jiangxi factory may have some remaining capacity to still finish an item in time for the season, which then is nothing like it should be.
But anyways, at least those importers are not cheaper than we are with Argento, given all the hard work they put into their product development and quality control
:ROFLMAO:
Same with the Blitzbomber from the demo btw, all dahlia stars are now normal peonies, corolla is barely burning, corolla change to blue about 3 stars per innertube ignite, finale lacks the proper big silver chrysanthemum, etc etc.. Just compare it to the "Minerva" of Argento, or the Blitzbomber sample video, which was still from the original factory.
Well, in germany we call it "Schadenfreude" - sadly it doesn´t always play out like this, and often those copies actually do succeed. But in this case, it turned out quite funny

Malte zijn reactie is natuurlijk niet helemaal objectief maar dit geeft toch wel te denken...
