I also haven't really noticed any issues with my Baron. The shoulder pads didn't seem noticeably loose either, though I admit I haven't messed with him a whole lot yet.

To each their own. I know not everyone will feel this way. But after the absolute excellence of Gaim, Baron feels a little underwhelming by comparison. Still a great figure but not Gaim great.

it could also depend on quality control, my Barron's shoulder pads work great and even have more movement than my AC, but on the other hand his lockseed keeps falling out of his belt and right shoulder armor keeps popping out. Then again I guess that's what super glue is for :p

still my 2nd favorite figuart though.

Oh it's still definitely great, I love the figure. I just feel it has a few shortcomings is all. And maybe the shoulders on mine jut are bad QC.

And honestly I had no idea anyone ever actually read my reviews. I just assumed people skimmed over them for the pictures :lol

I read about every other paragraph of them, or the whole thing if it's a figure I was already interested in.

I kind of like Barons design, but given Gaims overall great design, this one doesnt do much for me.
