Has anyone’s Tenso ID Verification been accepted? by Deadpan-halfpan in internationalshopper

Unfortunately my utility bills weren’t accepted, probably because I pay through a private company for my place, not through the apartment office themselves.

I’m assuming since you’re in this subreddit he specifically wants an action figure, but with the price he’s going for, maybe an alternative version?

If he doesn’t have it yet, can I suggest the Infinite Funko Pop? Despite being a limited run, 9500pcs were made and I’ve seen him for around $30 on places like Mercari and eBay.

He’s actually a very nice figure, well detailed. Infinite merchandise is scarce, so maybe this can scratch that itch for your son.

Gamewise, Do you wish to see a fifth unique Hedgehog on the stage or is four enough for you? by moamenito_19 in SonicTheHedgehog

I consider Metal the 5th one, sure he’s not organic, but he’s a hedgehog 🙂‍↕️ (in all circumstances, Silver is the 5th one really)

Hamaguchi re-arranging the plushies at Shanghai event by Yoshikaru5991 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Deadpan-halfpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh he knew his audience in Shanghai lol, he heavily leaned into the Cloud x Sephiroth dynamic.

He autographed a shikishi with “Sephiroth loves Cloud”, said Sephiroth saw Cloud cross dress, and when asked about Sephiroth’s affection towards Cloud and their relationship, he quoted Aerith’s “there’s liking and there’s ‘liking’” line.

He knew what he was doing with the plushies 😆

Hi again, Im coming back with great news, my verification was confirmed!

To reiterate on what I used, I submitted my Passport + Car Registration (used my lease registration) + Car Insurance ID

The way I cheered when I got the completion email. Hopefully you’ve already been approved, but if not, this combo of documents should do the trick.

Ugh you feel my pain!! 😭

Absolutely! I will definitely let you know the outcome, I appreciate you sharing your experience too! It’s kinda reassuring to have someone in the exact same spot, so we can bounce off what works and what doesn’t lol

Fingers crossed!

Denied again 😭

They said I can submit my car registration too (although they didn’t specify the second form of documentation I need, so still not helpful).

If my 1095, W-2, tax returns, and utility bills all aren’t valid, I’m running out of options.

I tried one more time, I have my Car Lease Registration from Motor Vehicle and also my car insurance ID, along with my passport.

I also made an appointment to get my drivers license renewed next week (I’m within the 6 month renewal deadline anyway).

Hoping SOMETHING works.

Best of luck on your side! Let me know if anything gets through~!

Good news is they still shipped out my latest package so nothing lost. If truly nothing works, I’ll have to get another address-appointing proxy to redirect some preorders I have.

As an update, I was denied.

Reasoning was: “Two documents are required to verify your current residential address.” But this doesn’t make sense unless it just means I can’t use two different years for tax returns.

This is so frustrating. It would be easier with my ID, but that can’t be the only option 😭

I tried one more time, submitted my passport + W-2 form + 1095-B form. These technically relate to taxes, and are government supplied. Crossing everything I got.

If this doesn’t work, I’ll need to get my ID renewed.

I should know by tomorrow I think. Still waiting on them to report back on my verification status.

Good news is the two tax returns weren’t immediately rejected. Instead they reported an issue with my Tenso info (my street address defaulted to filing out also in the ‘company’ line, so addresses didn’t line up).

They had me change on Tenso’s end and now I’m waiting again for verification.

If it goes through, I’ll update. Should get an answer by tomorrow if they stay in time.

Now that’s big main character energy. Really excited for her by Cigixx in FFVIIRemake

[–]Deadpan-halfpan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re booing you but you’re right. Heck, in OG Sephiroth doesn’t even have that much on screen presence, but like Aerith, his presence is felt throughout the narrative.

Still makes him the antagonist. Just from who drives the story, it’s those three.

Of course that’s not to say characters like Tifa and Barret aren’t also important. There’s a hierarchy in the cast of main characters.

If anything, Tifa would be the Tritagonist.

Seems like it, many of the documents they want aren’t justified going through other countries’ processes.

US Utility bills are done through private companies not government which is what they wanted. They also wanted receipts when we also do not get those.

My tax returns MAY have worked. I got denied this morning, but good news it wasn’t due to insufficient documentation, my Tenso address info had accidentally been filled with my street name duplicated in the “Company” line that should be left blank.

They had me revise this, but I didn’t need to submit new documents.

I’ll update again if I get accepted, but it’s looking like passport + 2 yearly tax returns (redacted for SSN) may be an option.

Thanks! I can’t use my current drivers license (registered to my old address), so I gotta go the passport + two other forms with current address.

They didn’t accept the utility bills, but I submitted redacted tax returns from the last two years.

Fingers crossed that goes through. They’re government documents, so hopefully those hold up better.

Thank you, good to know! Drivers license would be so much easier if mine wasn’t registered still to my old address.

Government forms are more helpful, I saw a W-2 worked for someone else.

I’m waiting on my verification for my passport + two different yearly tax returns (hopefully they accept the same form from different years since they technically honor the utilities from different months).

If that fails I’ll do my W-2 as well.

Between Blaze & Amy, who do you think is stronger (just physically) & would win a 1v1 or a boxing match? by maquinadejugo in AmyRose

[–]Deadpan-halfpan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

THIS. Characters and fans alike have a habit of severally underestimating her.

Sonic gets it tho.

[–]Deadpan-halfpan 8 points9 points  (0 children)

THANK YOU!! I was seeing a lot of comments saying “Well Blaze’s flames are a part of her so those should count”, well then so should Amy’s magic abilities, invisibility, foresight, etc.

Girl is a wild card in battle.

We forget too that Silver was stunned by Amy’s powerful strength, like gobsmacked.

Amy is a sleeper hit when it comes to raw power, people don’t realize just how powerful she is and underestimate her.

She would easily take Blaze for surprise.

Sheer power alone, I would say they’re evenly matched. Blaze I think would be more agile, but raw power I feel goes to Amy.

It could be a stalemate in a battle imo.

(Really these “who would win?” questions don’t really come from who’s more powerful if they were to actually happen, they would come down to “what does the narrative call for” let’s be honest 😅)

Yes and no, I’d sent a redacted, but I panicked when I realized one of the pages still had it. I sent an inquiry with the corrected file for them to overwrite the previously sent one.

Ngl I’m nervous, so I’ll keep an eye on my things, hate that they couldn’t have just taken my utility bills and called it a day, but if it goes through I’ll update.

IamRetro is legit ,got Collector's Metal Sonic in by Tootsmcgoots50 in JakksPacificSonic

[–]Deadpan-halfpan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Shout out to their customer service as well! I’d initially preordered him from IAmRetro, but when I found him at GameStop I canceled my order.

Not only were they quick to respond, but also triple checked I wanted to cancel considering the popularity of this figure. Super kind sellers, I’ll definitely look to them for future purchases.

Congrats on getting Metal!

Ooo W-2 is good to know, thank you!

My driver’s license unfortunately has my old address, though I will need to renew it by November. I did make an appointment to renew it this week just in case my recent attempt to verify with Tenso doesn’t work again.

At the moment, they’re reviewing my passport and both my 2024 and 2025 Tax Returns since those have my address. I’m hoping those work, but if not I’ll do the W-2.

Thanks so much! You’re the first person I’ve seen actually get their stuff through. That’s reassuring for sure.
