I have previously featured more product info and studio images, and as well featured my in-hand snaps from when I first laid my grubby paws on the figure at Singapore Comic Con 2019!

In addition to my review in the video above, I also applaud the "courage" of iNCH LAB for producing a figure of this size, with ROBOAPE being the second collectible from them, after @evangelione's ODETTE.

He looks rebellious and hyperactive but actually he is a gentle and friendly giant. However, he does have his own strong opinion on matters regarding ‘Lifestyle” and love to express in his own style." #toyblog #CollectMe #toysrevilsgcc2019

Manhandling a #Roboape on a Sunday morning! Been some time since I’ve recorded anything on this iPhone, and really hope to change to a proper digital cam soon, and not have to rely on my mobile that was “busted” for nearly a month... meanwhile, “editing” begins! Hope everyone has a safe and peaceful weekend! #mytoylife #bloglife #mygeeklife

For my issues with the broken finger and vinyl sweat (found inside the left-arm articulation.), I had asked DesignToys Jang from iNCH LAB to share with us his response;

"All the Roboape sent to toy bloggers and shops are just sample prototype figure(s) and we're aware (of) some of the problem, especially vinyl sweat or loose arm and waist joints. But finger snap off may caused by courier service because we don't have the box to protect them.

All these figures are produced in a rush hence these minor problems arise. However, for end products our QC team will be more diligent in tackling these problems.

Initially we wanted to wait until finished product with actual box and send to all toy bloggers and shops but in view of Covid-19, we can't wait for the box to be readied. My apologies."

And in response to his response (which I had not mentioned in the video), was that I personally appreciated the "creaking" of the (articulation) joints in my particular piece, as it was a sign of "tight joints", and I like mine tight like that LOL

Looking forward to be seeing what the other edition will look like (*Could it be this Skull-faced Ape???)! Meanwhile, I'm leaving this space below "open", for when I find all my other "Ape"-themed figure toys for a line-up toy-snap!

Cheers, and Enjoy Your Toys, folks!
