[Arknights] SilverAsh Prize Figure Arrives, Netizens Roast: Ultimate Cursed Idol?

Recently, the official Arknights SilverAsh prize figures have started arriving at players' doors. Many were shocked by the poor facial sculpt. The original poster mocked that the product's "ugliness" is surprisingly consistent with the promo art, noting that while the quality is poor, it’s not the worst they’ve seen in the community.

Netizens have been quick to roast the figure, labeling it an "Ultimate Cursed Idol" (a slang term used for severely deformed, nightmarish anime figures). Some even compared its distorted face to a "Taiwanese puppet theater doll." Opinions are divided on whether prize figures—which are mass-produced, lower-priced products—should be expected to look this bad, but most agree this level of deformity crosses the line.

Summary of the comments: Users pointed out that this isn't the first time the developer (Hypergryph) has missed the mark on merchandise quality. Some even sarcastically compared the quality to "big-name developers" (referencing Square Enix's notorious history of figure quality control). The consensus is that the official merchandise quality control still leaves much to be desired.
