'Is this false advertising?' Tekken 8 fan left disappointed at 'horrid and not at all like advertised' Fist Meets Fate statue

As PC Gamer's Tekken 8 review confirms, it is a great versus fighter that 'is a beautiful blend of nostalgia for longtime fans and a pair of welcoming arms for newbies'. And, indeed, it has proven to be so, with a fantastic number of gamers enjoying it on PC as well as on console. Many new Tekken fans have been created thanks to this landmark release.

One of Tekken 8's fans, though, doesn't appear to be having such a great time.

The post is tagged 'Help', with the statue's buyer writing, 'something does not feel right'.

Commenters who replied to Chaolan_Enjoyer's post seemed to agree with their concerns, too. One going by the handle distortionisgod states that, 'those look horrid and not at all like advertised', while another going by the handle HeihachiMishima55 says, ' you got scammed brother, complain and get your money back'. While one poster called Comfort Return simply writes, 'this is hysterical lmfao'.

Unfortunately, after another purchaser of the 'Fist Meets Fate' figurine named rebootcomputa also replied in this post's comments, it appears that this is not a one-off manufacturer error but how this product is being shipped. After stating 'Mine is on its way, will take pictures and post them here', rebootcomputa then proceeds to post up a pic showing the exact same finish, matching that of the original poster's figurine.
