Seihou Tajador might be my favourite figure I own? Granted, there's obviously a lot of bias behind it for me; but it's simply a beauty of a figure and a standout in any display I put him in

Does Tajadol have the same arm breaking issues like Tatoba?

If there are they haven't been reported (I would assume it does, but because you're not pulling on the forearm to replace it you don't notice)

What I have seen reported though at least early on is the knees. You have to pull the lower legs out to swap them for the Prominence Drop parts and as such I've never used them to avoid the risk

Suppose the dilemma for me is either hunting down Tajador or waiting for Bandai to just make Eternity and/or announce Putotyra right around Tamashii Online. Though, I suppose the latter would cost me more.

Agh, I'll find out when I'm willing to open the wallet again

Or wait for the figure-rise? With OOO being the cash cow it is and the FRS OOO Tatoba kit being revealed, Tajador is bound to happen. I mean they did Kuuga Mighty and Rising Mighty, and now just revealed Titan, Pegasus, and Dragon. All with Rising parts and teased Ultimate. The kit wouldnt leave you with any breakages and come with a ton of accessories. Plus the price would be very nice!

Wouldn't be able to swap out with my Tatoba. Plus, the feeling of a model kit is much, much, different from an actual figure.

That is true. You lose quite a bit in the heft and quality department. Tho it is a decent stand in. I use a modified and airbrushed FRS Faiz for my display since the seihou is stuck in the ether. Its still a better price and you dont have fear of breakage. Then again the joints are not as great and you have to put in a ton of work to make it even look close to the seihou. So i guess... Objectively.....the seihou is better. Just sucks that bandai uses such crap engineering when they try new things.

Slash now has a product sample! Lookin sweet as always! And I love the size difference

Edit: I just noticed that these three don't have to replace the handplates, I get obviously why, but interesting to point out.

That's a nice group shot and like how vibrant they look....now any day we could possibly see Jaou Dragon in-hand photos pop up

Buster seems to have an extra 'strap' painted on his hip joints that shouldn't be there and it's super distracting.
