I wonder if this meant Saber SHFs are doing well even more compared to Zero-One. Though granted Horobi and Valkyrie are never coming down, too

But, glad I got my pre-order in for Jaou and Dragonic. But damn, Espada and Jaaku...

Jaaku Dragon is too beautiful for this world! Maybe it will get a re-release based on the current Saber development?

Horobi didn't get a re-release despite his overwhelming popularity, so

pain

Yeah, re-issues of PB SHFs just... don't happen, unfortunately. The one exception is when the initial pre-order window runs out way quicker than expected, like with Z Gamma Future -- but that's essentially providing more stock to said initial pre-order window.

And the one time they made a big deal about reissuing a PB exclusive, it was only one out of the entire catalog...That being Ohma Zi-O who should be out this month.

Well the Calibur suit has been worn by 4 different users now! Maybe they'll re-release with a slight body change?

I'd definitely pick that up. It really should've been a regular release.

Speaking of joints, my Ginga has serious QC issues in that the left bicep was actually a copy of the right bicep because the pattern is all wrong and the joints do not fit when I try to correct it, and the saddest thing is that the joint broke.

I'd glue but I really hate using glue. Even my X's joints are broken and I'm considering buying a bootleg version (for a very long time since the last two years) just to replace the arm.

So, this guy, top coated his SS tiga in an effort to try and prevent the paint from chipping. Hasn't posted results, but I figured we should keep an eye.

He used a Mr. Hobby matte clear for this one. I have my own top coat too, so...

That sucks you have to replace the arm, but I'd say to just get any other cheap SHF and just grab that one's joints instead of looking for a bootleg version. Maybe a Best Selection Ultraman.

Bootleg joints, especially if the "manufacturer" goes by a "Legend Creation" are awful, gummy, and would break easy.

i'm so thankful that i sprung at getting both of them when i did

admittedly, my dragonic knight's got a weird shoulder spot thing (which is only noticeable if you look VERY CLOSELY to it), and the flames on his wrb have little paint bumps (which again, are only noticeable if you look VERY CLOSELY to it)

I heard a rumor that the Tiga QC issue is because Bandai uses two different manufacturers for the figure. A Japanese and Chinese company. The ones from China have all the rubber and paint issues. The ones from Japan still have issues but not as bad as the ones from China.
