They might even do them as surprise p-Bandai stuff throughout the year.
If we're only getting 4-5 each year and we already know we've got Ryuki and Agito coming, do you think they'll try to keep going in order with Blade, Kiva and OOO or skip around like they did at the beginning?

I actually have a question for all of you. I was building my faiz and using the metal sanding stick that came with the mr.hobby basic tool set. Works great with little effort to decimate nub marks on regular plastic. However, it left scratches here and there on the small areas that i sanded. One especially egregious scratch was on the exceed charge kick effect. Does anyone know how to go about removing scratches and polishing the plastic, like especially clear plastic.
Ill take pics and post them in a bit. |

Ill take pics and post them in a bit. Clear plastic is more brittle than regular ABS plastic. To remove the scratch on clear plastic, you can sand it down with ultra find sandpaper, then use a ceramic polish and then buff it. Or you can use plastic cement to "melt" the scratch away, depending on the severity of the scratch. Honestly, for an effect part I wouldn't worry too much about it unless its super obvious.

Just finished my build/ initial paint. With building, I'd say be careful of the head Barcode parts--one of mine got lodged in the head wrong and made the eye unable to set in the head. I ended up gluing the eye piece in. Other than that, like was said before--elbow joint is a bit of a letdown.
As far as painting goes, I used rustoleum glodd berry pink, a chrome paint that I already threw away so I don't have the label, rustoleum high gloss white and a satin black. I got a little to eager and started to handle the parts before they were ready, so the paint job is a little messier, but from a distance it's not bad. Just be careful when doing blacks and whites at the same time. Here's some pics next to the SS Neo Decadriver version and the figure rise kuuga.

I finally shipped my PoL from BBTS early this week and got it yesterday, including the Amazing Mighty kit. Spent the past few hours putting him together. He looks great, but damn the little squiggly line stickers for the bracers were an absolute PITA.
Unfortunately, when swapping out parts to turn my Mighty form into Rising Mighty, I nearly broke off the clip for one of the shoulder pads. It's still attached, but barely, and the pad flops about a bit. Also, one of the knee gems on Amazing loves to fall out. So what would be a good glue to use hopefully fix that? It's black plastic on the clip and the gem, and that odd goldish plastic for the kneepad. Another very very slight quibble, is that unlike Mighty, who came with enough back of the hand pads for every hand, Amazing does not. He only comes with pads for the fisted hands for both Amazing & Rising (which I did not realize don't fit the other hands with either kit), and a set of pads for a single pair of of the other hands - one set for Amazing, one for Rising. It's not an issue to swap them around, so it's not a real issue or anything. He's my third kit, following Mighty and Joker, and I have Decade waiting at HLJ. Decade is the only thing I have at HLJ atm, and I really don't want to ship just one item, so that'll have to wait. |

Glad you enjoyed him despite those issues!

Tamiya plastic cement is the best glue for parts they will show. Mr Hobby super glue for parts that won't be seen it need gap filing.
Plastic epoxy for parts that will be under stress

Has anyone used the Decadriver yet on non-main Riders and forms, like Geiz, Genm, HeatMetal or Amazing Mighty? That's what I was most interested in seeing

Here is Genm. I tried Heat Metal, but the belt was weird and I had an impatient baby on my hands. I can try the others later, just knew this post had been up for a bit with no replies.

That is -SO- fun to see! Something I really like about features like this is what they're not intended for even though it's still something you're able to do; so despite Genm just being a recoloured Ex-Aid, it's awesome to see
