I don’t know how popular custom resin kits are here, but did anyone else notice that Full Cart removed all the SHF resin kits they had from their store? The artist that made them (MeCoach) deleted his Twitter too. Wonder if Bandai lawyers gave him a visit?
Really sucks because I had like 6 of those kits in my cart and went back to buy them and they were gone. |

MeCoach still has a twitter acc up call Fullcartoys with a link to a website to buy. His last post was back in Aug so I don’t know if he still sells his kit you can check it out.

I was able to order Kyoryu Red King from Hobby Genki no problem. The site was not buggy or slow or anything for me. I was totally expecting a bloodbath.

Now that pre-orders are up and we have more promo pics, I wanna highlight what I meant by the shoulder joints looking poorly designed.
You see that big gap in his right shoulder there? Lately, Tamashii has has been changing the way they do shoulder joints on alot of their figures, such as on their recent One Piece line. Instead of doing the thing most companies do(and even they've done up until recently) wherein the shoulder and the joint are the same thing, they're now making the shoulder a cap and the joint a very tiny double ball peg. This is a serious step backwards. For those who don't immediately get why, having the shoulder and the joint be the same thing not only looks aesthetically the best(especially when posing), but also achieves very good functionality assuming you impliment the hinge part correctly. The way these recent shoulders have been done not only results in them being very ugly in anything other than a vanilla pose, but makes the range of motion horrible. The worst case of which being their recent Guts figure. And if you're wondering why the gap is in these two photos but seemingly none of the others, it's likely that they just rotated the shoulders in order to hide the gaps, which is extra work that'd be entirely unnecessary were they designed better in the first place. Tamashii pulled a similar move with the promo pics for Guts, wherein they used shadows the hide the gaps. I have no idea if this some weird cost cutting measure or what, but like the rubber torsos before it, it's a trend that very much needs to stop.

If it's just the gap you're worried about, like you said you have the shoulder cover and the joint's range to cover things up. Personally don't really find it a bit deal since they're designed to be moved and positioned in ways where you can hide large gaps with some better positioning of the joint itself. Like for example, Gokai Red and V3 have very different shoulder joints, but can look totally fine once you pose them properly.
Main reason for the design changes is to get as much forward range as they can get beyond a butterfly joint. V3 has his signature pose, Gokai Red has his ability to cross his arms without swap-out parts, and Kyoryu Red's case, some of his poses have him really swinging his arms out in-front of him or crossing them over one another.
