FYI, I just got a replica that shall go unnamed, and it was made of that crap Polystone (basically resin watered down heavily with powered limestone), and it was on a shelf where a Hot Wheels Back to the Future car rolled off & grazed it & SMASH!!!! Fortunately, my modeling skillz came in handy to repair it, but OMBuddha, what CRAP Polystone is!!!
Never, NEVER again will I purchase anything made of that ruttin' stuff.
Sorry China, that's a FAIL.

I'm sorry, but you must have gotten a crappy polystone model. I've gotten a few in the past and they are amazing.
I'd see if you could get your money back.

My friend Chris got a 'replica that shall not be named' and said that it has "Bent parts and loose parts that feel like they're about to fall off". Now I'm nervous about getting one.

Can't I JUST pay more for a GOOD thing????
If it HAS to be made in China, can't it be less breakable than a Christmas ornament??
I guess I'm living in the past.

The ones I've gotten have taken abuse much better than pure resin ones I have. And it's actually more expensive than a resin model. At least the stuff I've gotten has been.
Either way, I wouldn't get anything from China to begin with, unless its insanely cheap or you don't mind going through the hassle to get your money back.

Just a reminder, the new Mal pistol will also be made of polystone,
so buy it only if you want it as a display piece.
It will not stand up to costuming or rough handling.

Yes, the new QMx BDM Serenity Mal pistol is going to be made from polystone with a metal wash.
It will look beautiful in a display case,
but it will most likely not be suitable for costuming or rough handling.
So, look at all the pretties,
but don't be droppin' it!

I know two people that wore the QMx 'stunt' Mal as costume sidearms and both are broken. Not for play, only display.
