Back in June I was fortunate enough to win FOTM, the prize that month was offered by Jinkoo Park. Once results were announced at the start of August Kev messaged Jinkoo to say I would be in touch to discuss which kit I would like. The initial response from a Jinkoo was positive, after a delay, saying please advise which kit you would like and your address. Nothing arrived. Kev and I have both tried to communicate with him on many occasions now. Rarely we receive any form of acknowledgement or response if we do we it’s along the lines of, “I will mail you” if I have messaged him or “I will message you” if I have emailed him, “it’s out of stock” although the site still accepts orders with no out of stock message, or, “it’s being recast”.

In summary 4 months later I have revived nothing from him and still not had a proper reply from him.

looking at his FB page it appears other people have had issues with him, I made some enquires and found that he has not been paying service providers to him either.

Whilst browsing the internet I found that he has a distributor in Hungary, Bigbear Miniatures run by Gabor Gurzo, please see separate post, I contacted Gabor to see if he had stock of the particular kit as Jinkoo had told me there was no stock. Gabor confirmed he had stock and asked if I wanted to order. I explained why I was asking. He immediately asked for my details and today the kit has arrived from his stock in Hungary.

The vast majority of people in our hobby community are friendly, kind, honest and helpful so on the rare occasion I find someone who isn’t they really stand out for the wrong reasons. I really don’t think we need people like Jinkoo Park in our community.

Thank Steve I missed that at the time, just found it, he really is dreadful, I have given him negative feedback along with others in his FB page.

Hopefully this will help get the word our more about him and help people avoid him

Cheers

Last summer I purchased a Jinkoo figure on ebay, IT TOOK FOREVER TO ARRIVE but the seller did make the effort to keep me informed of the production issues. I was very pleased with the figure after receiving it but declined to purchase anymore figures as his feedback was not the greatest.

Another sculptor told me last week that he has never been paid for work he undertook for Jinkoo, I notice his website is now down.

Hopefully, but would be good if someone manages to acquire his range as he has some very nice pieces.

I agree with the above. The pieces that I got were quite good. It is disappointing that this situation should occur.
