So my Orb Origin broke
Took it out of the box, tried to articulate it a bit and while I swiveled the right leg out the whole leg came off, the joint was cracked in two. Was really surprised too, I used no force whatsoever. I don't really expect this to be a widespread issue considering I haven't heard of it by now but that's still a bit of a bummer. First Figuart that broke one me too. Anyways, I'll try to get a replacement or my money back, should be no issue, but what I wanted to talk about initially was: Did they alter the articulation scheme for the Ultraman figures? I see no swivels on the upper arms and since I could look into the leg after it broke I see no thigh swivels either. Are you supposed to use the shoulder and hip joints for this now? I guess it works but I'm not a huge fan of it honestly. Also filled out the Ultraman survey, didn't forget to mention Pigmon for you Zeo |

What do you mean he doesn't swivel at the thigh? Is he different than what is pictured?
Now for the arms, he doesn't have a normal bicep swivel as the bicep does swivel on the inside, it just takes the outter shell of the arm with it. BTW, I had no idea the other forms for Orb were shown off last month. Last edited by Dr Kain; 08-29-2017 at 09:22 AM.. |

Sucks to hear about your Orb though hopefully it won't be too hard to replace. The Ultraman Figuarts have had a few issues with joint tightness on both sides of the spectrum. Den-O and Sentai Tamashii will give you plenty of stories about their Ultraman figures being ridiculously loose but while I've not had that problem, I have had a few tight ones. Both my Ultra Seven and UAxSHF Ace Suit had ridiculously tight hips, to the point where they would have easily broken if I'd applied any force. Only times I've ever had to use Shock Oil on figures.

I've sent it back today and should get a new one for free so that's sorted out already. And yeah, I guess mine was just too tight, after the one leg broke out of nowhere I still tried to swivel the other at the thigh but it wouldn't move at all, which is why I thought they removed that swivel alongside the one on the bicep. Guess someone at the factory tried forcing it in a QC test and it was already cracked when I got it?
Oh well, first real lemon I've had, it happens. The paint wasn't too stellar either, nothing major but mine had scratches on the face and some black paint splatters, the silver was rough in a few spots too. Also, I was surprised that Belial was not an option in the survey so I made sure to mention him was as well. If Geed is popular we really should get new figures of Zero and Belial.

The only one I have had an issue with is Ultraman himself.
The first one had extremely loose legs. The replacement was tighter, but his wrist peg broke. The third one had really loose arms, but since it was Amazon, I hadn't shipped the one with the broken wrist peg off yet and just simply switched the arm. Sadly though, his knees seem to have loosed up over the last six months. Everyone else I have is perfect. |
