Baron has a tiny... streak? Fleck? Of silver on his left arm. Easily ignored. And his right thigh below the silver I guess didn't get as even of a red paint job over the silver because it's "faded" compared to the left. And some minor blemishes near the top of his cape, also easily ignored.
Ryugen's fine from the waist down, but his helmet wasn't sandwiched together all the way, and when I tried to press it, his crest/brow just broke off on the left. Like it was already cracked or broken. And before this, I noticed there's a small crack in his right eye at the top. It's not super noticable (and funnily enough looks like actual cracked glass) but his brow/crest is apparenty moulded in a clear plastic, because it's not painted as thick as it should and is sort of transparent gold. Otherwise they're fine, just dissapointing after Gaim was issue-free. I really love Baron. The carbonated bubble effect is so cool. |

Well, that sucks. Across the board I've had really great luck with Figuarts, but the Gaim figures in particular have been all really well executed. The only real problems I've had with them is a few of them have one hip joint that's mildly to annoyingly loose.

I think it's just the luck of the draw. I'm still going to collect as many Gaim Figuarts as I can.

Baron lemon energy was a crap shoot across the board.
Lots of QC with him reported when he was initially released. Specifically silver paint apps being sloppy or silver in places it shouldn't be. I can't speak from experience since it was the only gaim release I never bothered with, but three out of the 6 people I know who got him had issues with paint. Gaim figuarts started out very strong and slowly have gotten worse QC wise as time went on for me, loose joints are the main offender. I'm waiting for the day they all start to fade to silver since practically every gaim figuart is metallics over a silver base....that always seems like gamble for longevity of paint color.

Haven't had any QC issues with any of my Gaim Figuarts and ibhavevall of them and a few doubles. The worst problem I've had is with Kiwami's chest piece looking a little cloudy

According to Tag Hobby we get an announcement of SHF Proto Drive and a "Dark Flame"-effect soon. Don't know if it's from this month’s Figure Oh and we haven't gotten scans yet, or if Bandai plans to show those at the Tamashii Nations event in late October.

They're both exclusive to the Tamashii Nations event, like Lemon Baron was.
