What's wrong with Gavan??

QC issues as it's rather fragile... or so I've been told.

For me personally, I had to glue his knee cap in place because the hole was too big and in order to change his right hand, I have to take the hand, the joint, and the wrist piece off, put the ball joint back in place, then the wrist piece, and THEN put the new hand on.

What's wrong with Vegeta? that's one that's on my want list.

Best: The US release of MP Soundwave. He is so awesome that I'm importing Soundblaster and selling off my TFC/G1 Soundwave & Soundblaster. And that's not getting into the cassettes that were also amazingly done.. or that they are G1 compatible and vice versa. And then they were all packaged together unlike the Japanese release. YUM

Worst: I wanna say Kyoryujin or Bragigas.. but I'm gonna go 3rd party Transformers with iGear's Mini-Warriors getting a wag of my finger this year. My fault on holding off to buy them all at once, but the moment I got them out of the shipping box, I knew I was gonna re-sell them at a loss. not-Pipes, like not-Huffer, was amazing, but all the rest of them felt like cheap, hollow plastic. All the paint jobs after not-Cosmos were faded, off-color, and matte. And I wasn't a fan of the bigger figure size, but still maintaining the SD-like proportions of their Choro-Q G1 selves

Also I don't get the hate for SHF Wizard Flame Style. I know his driver pops off like crazy, but he has been perfectly fine for me. Maybe it is because he was my first SHF, and maybe because I own less than 5 SHF to compare him to.

His right leg falls off if you sneeze and is very loose. It's worse than Freeza's, which sucks. That and the scouter does not stay on even though there is a specific hair you need to use for him to even wear it. The peg on the saiyan tail that wraps around his body is too small for the hole, so it looks more like he is pooping.

Worst: SHF Wizard Flame Style

I still like the figure and he looks amazing on display, but of the figuarts I own he is by far the least stable. It's a shame because the pictures I saw of him back towards the beginning of the show's run were what got me looking into the series and eventually the franchise and started this whole thing for me. So I had some really high hopes for the figure, and I was pretty heartbroken (sorta) when I started seeing the negative first impressions whilst waiting for my shipment from Bluefin. And when I finally got him, he wasn't THAT bad, but his driver falling off and his waist not holding together all that well really is kinda inexcusable. I can forgive the incredibly overblown proportion issues, as I think he looks fantastic, but he fails pretty handily at the basics of being a toy.

Best: I'm not sure of any toys I got this year that were originally released in 2013. Pretty much all of my Figuarts, however, I purchased or received this year, with Black RX, who I got years ago, and Fourze at the tail end of last year, being the only ones I had going into 2013. And I didn't really buy anything from any other toylines I collect/used to collect (i.e. no Transformers) this year. So I gotta give this to one of my figuarts, and I think it's gotta be Zolda. I love the Ryuki figuarts, it's a very solid base body, most of them seem to have solid accessory counts, they're fantastic representations of some of my favorite riders, with Zolda being my all time favorite, they just really work for me. Ryuki Survive is a pretty close second I think, he just looks so nice. However, he doesn't really come with much, though I appreciate the included stand, and I fear breaking his antenna constantly. Scorpion Zodiarts deserves some mention as well just for the beautiful sculpting and detail work. Anyways, Zolda just hits all the right notes for me. Perfectly captures the appearance of my favorite Kamen Rider character, comes with some really really nice accessories that give him some excellent display options, and is incredibly solid with no QC issues (aside from the loose card slot on the magna visor, which is remedied simply by putting an advent card in it), and I really don't worry too much about anything on him breaking.

My Flame Style is like a jigsaw that I've carefully balanced upright, and of course as soon as the window blows it all comes apart. His legs fall off, he doesn't hold together at his waist, his driver falls off. I eventually gave up trying to display him as sooner or later he'd just fall to bits on his own and come crashing to the ground.

It sucks, because I want all the main Heisei Riders, but hearing stuff like this prevents me from buying him. I've heard people mixed it with the WAP! figure, and all you lose is the torso articulation, but I can't find any pictures.

Is it that good?

You may as well just buy the WAP version, from all regards it's a perfectly solid figure and whatever detail or accuracy you may lose, you gain in knowing that the figure isn't held together by frayed string.
