These images refer to the qualities I listed therein.
That post can be found on the previous page.
The mask however, had NONE of these quality control issues, so I have some hope for the replacement figure to be as intended.
FOLLOW UP : I'm sorry, it's now 6mo later and I'm just realizing that I never gave y'all an update on my Nuti Pati replacement. But first, it wouldn't be right if I weren't to point out that Unbox's customer service is top bar, especially Dan, who, like others have mentioned, seems to legitimately want to please his customers. I can't imagine it's easy to handle each individual's situation personally either with the Many projects that Unbox has in the works, but after dealing with Dan a few more times now, I can say that he definitely does and does it well (even going out of his way to track down a couple of htf toys for me recently). So it might not come as a surprise to those of you familiar with Dan, that even though these were already released and sold out, he ordered another batch from the factory (with more stringent qc) to be used only as replacements. I'll have to get pictures sometime, but I can say that the new one I received is Much better; no burns, trash & dirt in or on the vinyl, and the vinyl appears to be evenly cooked and distributed. This replacement echoes the quality of Connel's NP.

The articulation in the arms and waist are smooth. One leg is slightly shorter than the other but I didn't run into the same positioning or standing problem.
And although the original one that I received should've NEVER been sold, I'm quite happy that I went with the option of a re-do instead of a refund. I like this toy and you may too, but you should know in advance - don't expect sofubi. It's just clearly not of the same make-up, and truthfully, that's fine with me cause I don't think it's trying to be. This becomes evident when you start trying to compare them, as half of my original complaints were accurate descriptions but misinterpreted as errors (also spurred on by already fuming over the qc issues, thus lumped into that category). For what it is though, I think the toy's very successful in the final execution. Unbox's toys have come a long way in just a year even and it's nice to see that they do care about what they're putting out there, with continued progression towards improving their materials and methods (like this community has seen with the Mini Mockbats of late).
Thank you again, Dan. I appreciate what you're doing out there, man.
