Liad said:They contradict themselves by saying that they hand paint these pieces, which takes hundreds of hours, they "don't just use figure factory workers". Later, they talk about the price and say that their production will move to ANOTHER factory in China..... So you ARE using figure factory workers then? Sheesh. BTW this is totally normal, pretty much every statue company use china factory workers for cheap labor, and those companies are thriving. How come Art of War somehow found the most expensive chinese factory around?
Practically here you're attacking the only point in which I trust Art of War
of course they use chinese figure factory workers, but they are well paid handicraftsmen; I can't know how and how much this influences the final price but as a matter of fact the assembling and painting have been always extremely good, I never found a single flaw. Other, more popular, companies have often painting and/or bonding problems. I think China is not necessarily equal to cheap labor, underpaying is equal to cheap labor.
