I'm honestly kind of disappointed in mine.
Here are the issues that I've noticed so far:

One of the eyes is pushed in.

Some effort seems to have been made with a grinder to "fix" it but the bright spot just kind of calls attention to it. Also as noted by others, "light up eyes" feature seems to rely upon you using switches which have clear stems which I do not.

One of the forehead pieces is bent backwards, further increasing the visual asymmetry.

The keycap itself seems to have cooled unevenly and warped, this is most evident when seen from below

The stem portion of the mold seems to have been inserted with a slight rotation, meaning that the key sits slightly but annoyingly spun relative to the rest of the keyboard.

Also, with regards to the stem, it doesn't hold the switch at all. It straight up falls off of the keyboard, which is not the case with either my Salvun AMK keycaps or the SMRT metal typewriter style caps which I got off of Massdrop.
