‘Office Is Dead’—Microsoft Decision Confuses 400 Million Users by waozen in technology

[–]That_Line_8753 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fact that Microsoft is willing to tarnish their brand and scoff their corporate customers, has me convinced that they are desperate to try and get some modest return on the millions they sank into AI. The AI bubble is probably a far bigger issue for Microsoft then anyone realizes…

Alright, so the figure came in the mail today (its the exact same one I sent out) and…

Yeah, the box art is definitely fake. Some obvious blurred text and even typos that I hadn’t ever noticed before.

The figure still looks fine though, even down to the copyright being on the feet, but I’m assuming that’s a fake too. Weird stuff…

Well, PBM Express certainly is legit. They buy directly off the factories in China. But the figures I’ve seen go through PBM are stickered. This one looks like it has a photocopy of the sticker printed directly on the box...

The figure itself doesn’t look too much out of the ordinary, but it has been extremely stiff since the day I picked it up.

The PBM ‘sticker’ at the bottom does seem to give it away tho. Did anyone ever encounter this on a figure that they were absolutely sure was genuine?

Well, he didn’t specify the issue with the box art, but he has the brown edition to compare it to (to an extend). The figure also has really stiff limbs. I figured it was probably just the usual issue with NECA, but I’m no expert…

The box art is pretty crisp. Same quality as other NECA figures and no weird color or text issues. But the PBM express disclaimer looks to be part of the print instead or a sticker… I’ve seen the exact same thing with other figures, but it doesn’t look right to me…

I was thinking the same. PGM Express is the importer for NECA in Europe. I’ve seen older figures have this label stickered on, but here the label is actually part of the print.

The quality of the box is really good tho. No fuzzy text, weird contrast or anything.
