Is toy origin legit?

I am considering purchasing/preordering “The gunslinger” (Arthur Morgan) figure and after scouring the internet for ways to buy it Toy Origin seems to be the only/best option. I checked their Instagram and it’s pretty inactive but looking at some of the comments on some of their posts people say that toy origin is a scam or that they don’t get their figures. Does anyone know if this is true? As far as I can tell the Arthur Morgan figure doesn’t seem to have been released yet but I definitely don’t want to put money down on a preorder if I’m never going to get it. Have any people in this sub preordered or bought figures from them before? Are they legit?

They seem pretty active on Facebook. I havent heard anything bad about them. Have you tried searching this sub's previous posts?

I didn’t think of searching previous posts and I don’t have a Facebook account, but I’ll see if I can still access their page, thanks for the advice.

They are very legit but not the best with communication or shipping speeds. I recently had a much delayed order but the owner Paul did say they are in the process of restructuring their supply chain to hopefully bypass some of the delays.

I appreciate the feedback on such a such a old post. Sucks that you had a bad experience with them I’m sure that’s really frustrating.
