I pre-ordered Hibiki via Amazon so I'm going to be month late :lol


I managed to get an unopened Faiz glowing stage set off of Mandarake, a Shin-Zangetsu from Nippon-Yasan, and by accident have an extra Leangle on the way because I forgot to cancel my pre-order with Amazon.

Meanwhile, I finally paid for Ryugen. :lol

Yay, Amazon has shipped my Leangel, but he won't be here until Tuesday. -_-

I also paid for my Shadow Chaser preorder at NY. Now I just need to pay for Green Clover and I will be all good.

Just got my Zangetsu Shin in today. He's even more beautiful in person than in photos. Metallic paint really shines and the bubble effect in the clear plastic is just super cool. One interesting thing to note is that he does not have Gridon's thicker wrist connectors, so that's not something you'll see on all exclusive Gaim figuarts.

I will say, though, that mine has some of the easiest to use handsets I've ever had on a figuarts. Stiff enough to hold poses, but also very easy to snap on and off. Doesn't feel like I'm going to snap anything like with a lot of my others. Only disappointment I have about the figure is that the belt doesn't have any movement mechanism like the Sengoku Driver. It's definitely forgivable as that extra stress would probably make the belt super easy to break, but it would have been nice if they could have figured out a way to include it.

Good to hear about Zangetsu!

While we're on Gridon though, does anyone else have issues with him? Mine has a bicep that flies apart when the smallest amount of force is applied. The elbow joint just pulls out of the lowwr bicep on his left arm. Nothings broken, its just remarkably easy to do.

His left arm got detached once while posing him, but I pushed it back in and now it sits tight. Nothing else to report, I'm really satisfied with this guy.

i have yet to open my gridon as I think I want to get a stage first, or wait for bravo, whichever comes first. that or I may get board and open and pose him anyway.

My Gridon seems perfectly fine. Probably the one I'm least worried about breaking or having QC issues with.

Oh good, I'm not the only person with that problem. Only other complaint I have is the open Donguri lock seems bent back a little too much. Doesn't look like it's about to snap, but it's a wider angle than the others I've had so far and it makes me just a tad uncomfortable.

Saw this while at FanExpo the other day and laughed:

Apparently someone else was selling it for 150.
