I know, but knowing Tamashii it could happen. They renewal Shadow Moon and most people feel like the original was just fine and holds up well.

-head looks squished/head crest looks too big -skinny, odd proportions -doesn't look as bulky as G3-X was in the show -Blue isn't deep enough, but that may just be a lighting problem. Of course, while G3-X could use a renewal, there are more important characters Bandai could do. Quote:
I'm vaguely curious what they'll do with the branding. Shinkochu Seihou already seemed sort of odd as a sub-line, or even when it was reserved for main Riders. Now that we're getting secondary Riders and whatever Kuuga's enemy is, I wonder whether what's going to get designated a Figuart, and what's going to be designated SS.

I just recieved my Kiva-la today. I was delighted... until I tried to insert her rapier into her right sword hand. All the fingers broke off. I haven't had a QC problem with Figuarts this serious since I got OOO out of the box and his leg immediately broke.

I like my G3-X but I definitely could see them make an upgrade on him if they are doing the others secondary riders. The question is would they Upgrade Gills too?

That sucks big time sorry to hear that happen to your figuart. I had a problem like that with the combat shocker 3 pack that came out a few years back. Took the shocker out and went to put the rod in his hand and the hand snap right off. I think what Bandai does is they used cheaper plastic for figuarts that might not sell well and those who buy the figuart can't tell if it will break or not.

The sad thing is sometimes you'll just get duds. While Tokumonkey's Kiva-la has obvious issues, mine is immaculate so unfortunately it's just luck of the draw. In the case of Kiva-la it's more likely that the pearly white plastic they used isn't quite as durable as the usual matte finish colours. Really sucks to hear what happened to your figure though Tokumonkey. Having a figure break right out the box is a horrible experience.

That's a ridiculous theory.

As for Tokumonkey...that really sucks dude, I can't imagine how that could've happened. I've never heard of the fingers breaking off an SHF, ever.

For the guys hunting down the Tamashii Nations event exclusives: It seems like the Web Shop will sell the left-over stock (I can't translate the page properly but there's a date on them) and NY has stock of all the exclusives now.

NY selling them at those prices kind of surprises me? I was expecting everything to be higher. EDIT: Eff it, threw in an order for the Dark Flame effects since they've just not shown up on Mandarake (except for one that sold out before I knew it was there) and that's not far off what Mandarake priced that one for anyways. Threw in a Robot Spirits I'd been looking that was on sale while I was there. Last edited by Lbsammills51; 11-04-2015 at 07:42 AM.. |
