Why did G7 LPS Quality get BAD? ES vs KX codes

Something i noticed bc me and my sister have a blue light/colored lights in our room the lps body pairts glow in the dark!

Thank you for this in depth video, I appreciate it!!! 🥰🍯😺 It was fun to watch the comparisons. ES pets are my favorite so far!

i really wish they went back to muted colors, even when the paint job is good, if the colors look off it just ends up looking like the awfully produced fakes😓

the KX pets look like bootlegs

Personally the KX pets just look fake to me. I alr had a personal suspicion that basic fun was using the same manufacturers as the fake LPS bc of the flat ring on the bottom of the head. I can appreciate trying new things, but this has honestly made me less likely to want to continue to buy new LPS which sucks! I bought the first wave blind box and some sets which were disappointing, and with how things are progressing I’m just not super confident in buying them anymore :((

It can be also a marketing strategy. BasicFun know that collectors would prob buy the ES pet but also the KX pet since they have major differences. They will now get x2 sells per person rather than only 1. This is a common strategy that compagny do.

The superglued display pet reminds me of the old McDonald’s pets with the plastic bases

I literally opened a box and it didn’t have a lps entirely.

Oh man, in all honesty i do prefer the ES coded LPS more than the KX ones, the printing is so much better!
I really hope Basic Funds improve on the quality check and be more consistent on their LPS if not it'll be so difficult to regain the customers trust.
Thank you so much for addressing this your doing absolute gods work for the LPS Community

I recently bought some of these mystery boxes, some of the paint was indeed splotchy and in the wrong area’s but I can defiantly attest to the second unboxed monkey is the more official one bc it looks similar to the one I got

the kx eyes seem so… lifeless and cheap
i genuinely do not care about the squishy heads or blurry eyes in the ES, the squishy heads litteraly dont effect anything at all and the slightly blurry but fuller eyes seem more pike the old pets and have more personality

I don't know, what was wrong with the ES eyes. Based on the LPS in this video, I very much prefer the ES productions. KX just looks cheap overall.

My blue owl is miss printed and it’s so noticeable😢

Personally the KX molds are a significant downgrade. Looking at the wolfcats side by side, the KX look like fakes 😭 I dont mind the grainy eyes because theyre glossy and accurate. If they change the paint to be actually removable via acetone, id give a point to KX bc if theres a misprint you can remove it. Idk

Oh my goodness the monkey is sooo bad they don’t even look like the same pet 😢

I was SO excited for the new pets to come out. When they did and I spotted them in Five Below, my dad bought me two blind boxes. In box one I got a poodle and in box two I got a panda. The panda had a weird dirt spot, its head barely bobbled, and his head was super squishy.

I prefer ES version over KX. I feel like that KX doesn’t have the correct coloring and isn’t painted right. I hope they keep making the ES version. Also I’m just starting to collect lps!

I have the panda one, and it’s head is a different shade from the body like huh

KX - Kinda expired...
ES - EXTRA SPECIAL :)

I have the pink cat and it’s Paul is not colored so I don’t know if that’s how it’s supposed to be

That's probably why most of them are faulty because they wanted to produce a lot at the same time

THANK YOU! FINALLY SOMEONE IS COVERING THIS! UGHHHHHHH

The KX pets eyes just look too flat and lifeless for me

I like yes ES way better

I have the same fish❤😂😊 and I have the dog in the window 🎉❤

Gluing my boy to the plastic is understandable but I feel like there’s a better way. When wave one came out, a target worker let me take the Himalayan cat from the display and that was super sweet of them. It also feels like a waste because then the display pet will have a higher chance of getting thrown out

I had a pretty good experience. My panda was the only bad one. It came with a stain, but luckily I got a dupe in perfect condition

this is insane

What I really hate about the kx pets is the eyes, they’re always drifting outside the eye socket and the irises are messed up

iv decided to not even bother with gen 7 pets. the quality of the ones i got are WAY worse than any in this video... im talking eyes on the forhead and burn marks on the plastic... its so disappointing bec only the pets you cant see in aka blind box pets, are the ones with bad quality...

The purple cat you got has better printing than my es version of it.. which I do find funny. I guess I just have bad luck.. also, in my country.. they are packed in plastic, instead of being blind boxes.. which I do find kinda.. wierd?

I haven't had the chance to get many in this new wave (only 1 actually, in blind box, and I ordered the advent calendar but I'll discover that in September and personally I felt a bit disappointed by these new blind boxes. I got one out of curiosity without seeing the line before and got #71. And after checking the collection list, I don't know, I felt a bit disappointed. There's something about their colours that is off somehow, and even though (without looking too much at the details) I like of their bigger sets (and I ordered the advent calendar too), I just feel like 1st wave blind boxes pets were better, but that might just be me

G7 wave2 pet quality is fr soo bad bro..

The way she booted the seagull😂

I find it interesting that your German Shepherd was glued down, mine wasn’t it was simply tied with those paper ties, i think this is because your box was KX while i know the box is got my German Shepherd ES.
So it seems wherever they’re manufacturing the KX pets, the factory glues down the display pet while the ES displays are not glued down.
I will add though my Display German shepherd had eye paint missing and my purple Lucky cat had so much glue residue on it. So it seems issues are arising with ES pets too

my fake lps are better quality then these

My wolfcat that I was so excited to get arrived broken :( their head wasent evan attached to the body! And the peg wouldent fit becuse the bottom didn't have the hook!!

willing to bet that the KX code pets (or just wave 2 in general) got hit hard by that chapter 11 bankruptcy

i always thought the EX looked better, i like the harder heads of the KX but they just look super .. fake?

i have 3 of the lamas i hate em

Id rather pay more for better quality..

I got a few a couple days ago and i got the rat or possums whatever it is lol, uhh the cat, the other cat, the pelican, and the brown dog and honestly they didn't look to good. I mean the pink cat, pelican, and the brown dog looked okay but like the others uhhh not so much! I LOVED this video and thank you for covering this! ❤ also i want that monkey SOO bad ive been looking EVERYWHERE for it!!!!

I would like a video tour of their factories, I worry misprints are because of exhausted overworked workers
