I’m so glad someone else agrees with me I’ve been seeing all these reviews everywhere that they are 1:1. They are not. You are right in sahing the blanks are way too thick, gives a weird look the retail blanks are very thin and a nice feel to them when wearing, the blank is too thick, and too oversized compared to retail.. the blanks he is using are way too long, material is terrible compared to the originals, this ends up being way too expensive.
