I just did that and unfortunately the hand cracked even more, I'm guessing some residue glue was left on the outside making the holes for the pegs even smaller. I've used superglue again and am going to let it dry for about 5 hours, though, it's difficult to get glue in the cracks since the piece is so small.

I can honestly say I've yet to have any of my clear stage 4's crack or break. The stage 2(3?) that came with my guard chaser is solid black but my complaint with it is that its floppy and loose. All the 4's I have are nice and tight. I didn't even know they made such a thing as solid color stage 4's. I've got clear ones and a set of the transparent passion blue ones.

Well both stands came with my Figuarts Wild Tiger & Sky High, so maybe it's just my horrible luck with this subline. The one I'm really having trouble with is the one Tiger came with, though there are visible cracks on Sky High's stand's hand where the arm plugs into it. It seems like the stand can support figures as long as they have some type of footing and aren't doing an all in the air pose. Also the hole is now to small for the peg to fit into without the plastic breaking. I just think I won't use the arm of the stand anymore.

You can tighten the screw on the joint parts

Sky High? didn't that just come out? already cracked?

Oh I've tightened it as much as I can. The old stages just seem cheaply made to me. Sure I tighten the joints but the hand on the end of the arm pops off just looking at it as does the arm from the base :lol

Yeah, that happens to me too, where the peg just doesn't hold on anymore

Yep, just by being put in the arm stress/crack marks have already formed. Maybe they just use cheaper materials with the T&B pack in stands. Here are some pics of the cracks, not the best but hopefully you can see them:

They formed shortly after having it on the stand, same with Wild Tiger. Over time the one that came with Tiger became looser and looser.

man, now I gotta go check mine, I have Sky High in a flying pose, and I have Tiger on a running pose in mid-air :(

Anyone know how to fix and loose shoulder joint? I cant pop the joint out so glue/nail polish wont work. I'm not entirely sure how to open him up either. Ideas?

The Prince of Saiyans needs help, cell broke his arm.

can't you just drip some nail polish in through the opening?

i tried, it doesnt actually reach the ball joint so it just globs up the insides. I even used a tooth pick to apply.

That looks like it should pop off though

You may have to take the chest apart, which is quite difficult and usually results in at least one tab that holds the chest together breaking because glue is used. Not exactly an expert on it myself, so you should probably do some research on it. Here's a video of someone doing it with ShinkenRed if that helps:

anybody got a printout sheet of Decades cards that can be used with the Violent Emotion?

thanks man

and another, is there one of those sets with the other riders and the final form/kamen ride cards?

I figure if im gonna go through all the work of doing these cards up I might as well have all of em

T-T-T-Triple Post!!

nvm I got the others that I needed.

and heres a pdn file of all of em, theyre nowhere near as good as the ones above I couldnt for the life of me clean them up to that level without them being too bright. but for the size id say theyre pretty good. I can make it a psd file if need be

http://www.mediafire.com/?1dw8l2m7v2lv75d

that includes pretty much every card that other doesnt have. all final form rides, all final kamen rides, all showa riders, Skull, IXA, Double, Fourze, OOO, Autovajin, Rekka Daizantou and the final kamen attack form ride. I can do others too as long as you can give the card image

Friggen, Shink Pink seems to be fetching top dollar now.

I need it to complete my set..... :(

I've got her on the way. Neener neener. But ye, she cost me a ton of money, her and Yellow.
I still need Blue and Green though.

I'd like the other Shinkengers, but there's no way I'm prepared to fork out for every team when half of them will probably be exclusives so I might as well get into the habit of passing them up now.

If I can grab a Kaoru Shinken Red at one point however though I'll be more than happy.

I just want blue, green and gold to go with my red I dont really care that much about getting pink and yellow

Seeing all these comments of people lamenting they can't get all the Shinkengers makes me glad I pre-ordered them :cool:.

I only own Shinken Red and Gold myself. And that's only because they were at TRU one day and I happened upon them. I really never could stand the show so owning figures of the whole team doesn't mean much to me. Owning the Red and Gold means I get the leader and cool extra character of the team. It's the same reason I'm ecstatic Bandai's only doing Red Hawk and Black Condor from Jetman. I don't need or want to buy the other 3. I want Red Hawk because he's the red and Black Condor because he kicked ass in Gokaiger as a ghost.

All I'm missing is Yellow and Pink and I'll have the complete team. And given the insane prices those two go for, it makes me real hesitant to pull the trigger on'em, especially since from what I hear, they have a ton of problems.

What?! What kind of problems? I anticipate their arrival any day now, do not want problems after what I paid for them!

Don't know the exact details, but most of the problems are in the legs from what i hear

My yellow and the rest of Shinkenger have no problems with the legs.

Nothing a little Shock Oil can't fix

Preorders for Scorpion Zodiarts sold out after about an hour at Hobby Search, two minutes at AmiAmi, but hey, you can still get Module Set 3! Yaaaaay!

Module 3 set actually looks pretty good. Annoyed I missed the Scorpio preorders though >.<

Got my Scorpio pre-order in thanks to my beloved pre-order ninja :D. Still feels unreal tof a villian kaijin being a standard release. Part of me wants to go back in time and punch Bandai for making Nazca an exclusive, especially since he heavily desired character from that first poll they had.

Villains getting a mass retail release?! What sorcery is this?!

I am so lucky that I was able to snag this at the price it was going for.

http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-718976.html

Nice. I bid on one of those yesterday? I think it ended at $50-ish shipped, and I certainly didn't win. I did order Gold on Amazon Friday.

I got my first Rider Figuart today. Before this, I only had Shinken Red and Gold from TRU. I decided to start with Fourze. I really like the figure overall, and it's even better with the effects parts and stand set. I'm probably going to start buying these like crazy now. lol

beware of Pink's leg, it has a history of the peg being too tight and snap off, get the Shock Oil ready.

guess I'd better order some then.
Remind me what I do for loose joints? I've got almost all of the OCC figures now, and some of the joints (mainly the hips) are a bit loose, Dark Kiva's ankles and knees are a little loose-ish too.

for loose joints, do the krazy glue/clear nail polish method

I finally got my Kamen Rider Ichigo FA. I love this figure. So amazing!

My only complaint is that he is too tall to really pose well with my vintage Masked Rider Cyclopter/Gatezone toy. But if I can get a flying stand he'll Rider Kick him just fine!

I fear that this will open the floodgates!

Do you mind if I ask where you got it? I'm finding that one to be awfully difficult to find, and when I do it seems to be going more in the range of Tamashii web exclusives than the general release figures.
