Not looking forward to my Kiwami now. Just paid for it yesterday (at 3200 yen shipping yikes... How big of a box do they need for just a single SHF and Play Arts??) and should be in my hands next week. But all I'm seeing is reeeeally not giving me hopes.
And of course the likelihood of getting replacements is super low... Damnit Bluefin why couldn't you have gotten these guys...

Ugh I hope my Kiwami doesn't suffer from these QC issues because, quite frankly, it's ridiculous how much Bandai charges for these figures to be this awful.

My Kiwami is messed up too. Cracked chest plate. Trying my luck with an exchange or compensation before opening it.
Actually, my Kachidoki happens to be just as bad. The wrists fall off way too easily, like the socket is too small. Any way to fix that? |

Totally sucks to hear this about Kiwami Arms.

I doubt all of the Kiwami figuarts have QC issues. Maybe they will do some type of reissue and fix it.

Ok I just opened my Kiwami Arms figure and I must say, other than the dissatisfying crack, it is GORGEOUS. Bandai silver never fails to disappoint. The joints are the right tightness, and the cape is surprisingly easy to apply. I prefer this Figuarts representation of Gaim's ultimate form over Kachidoki any day, because the latter has such terrible wrist joints and is much more difficult to handle.
Meanwhile, Amiami is looking at the screenshot of my figure and deciding if it is worth excellent customer service... |

Please understand that the item, as with most items at our store, was sold
discounted for under retail price. We pride ourselves in our competitive prices. Unfortunately our low prices restrict the resolutions we can offer when manufacturer defects such as these arise.

Hopefully they don't tell you what they told me when I got a defective Hibiki.
Which is utter bullshit. You're a retailer selling a defective product. You owe it to the customer in my opinion. So I know they won't do a damn thing for me with my Kiwami since selling stuff cheap apparently means you aren't responsible for defects. |

I need to double check my Kiwami when I get back home. I didn't inspect the sticker all that closely, I was just looking for cracks. On another frustrating note, my Femme and Wing Form still haven't shipped. I have much sadness.
