Ohhhhhhhhh those wacky Bootleggers (hits head firmly with palm)

Da-Paan is going to make a great figure

They need to make the core medals so we can fill up Ankh?s medal holder. Maybe they?re waiting until all of OOO?s forms have been made

Here we are 12 days later and it still hasn?t shipped. I sent a message and they emailed me saying that they haven?t gotten it in stock yet and that it will ship in October. Weird but I guess we?ll see

For those that have figuarts 01 shining hopper, are the hip joints loose/wiggly on your copy? I finally opened mine up and I was kind of disappointed that it's not tight like the rising hopper one.

The hip joints on mine are nice. The legs are not wobbly and the ab movement is fine and holds well. Yours having a loose joint might be a bit of bad luck, or I got good luck.

Thanks for the response. I just checked my shining assualt one too and it's equally loose and I thought they are just like that cause they share the same hip parts.

I believe they sometimes over-allocate preorders and then have to chase up extra stock after release. Their business practices unfortunately leave much to be desired.

That sounds like my experience with Nin Nin Games. I don't really order from them anymore.

I checked my shining assault hopper and that figure?s legs definitely have a bit more wobble to them than my shining hopper. I also have the heckrising hopper and the legs are fine on that one. I kind of have it set up in a pose right now so I don?t want to mess with it too much. It?s not to a point where I would call it a defect on mine.

I 100% know that sometimes these figures are a roll of the dice. I got my start in figure collecting with the SH Monsterarts line, so I know literally anything can happen with a figure. Thankfully SH figuarts is better.
