That sounds both warm, and cold!

You can find just about any of the Foruze States outside of either version of Fusion, for dirt cheap. I sold mine off when they first came out because frankly they weren't very good. Been able to pick each of them up again for under $10 each since.

Oh, they aren't very good? And wow that cheap?! Unless they're like broken it seems worth it no matter what for that price.

They aren't good in that all the ones I've owned, including these re-buys, have poor QC. My Elek, Fire, Magnet the first go around were pretty buggy. Now my second Fire and Magnet are too. But I got them for $10 & $8 respectively so I don't care that much. It's just the Fourze figuarts in my opinion tended to have loose joints and pretty poor paint applications.

I still have my original Cosmic and it's got the most loose hips I could imagine. My Meteor Fusion and Nadeshiko Fusions however are spot on quality wise. As are both Meteor forms.

Agree with the Cosmic States thing. Mines left leg joint is loose as hell, thought it was just mine. But I agree having all the Fourze States is worth it. Even those kidney-priced exclusives. I'm still trying to get Meteor Fusion & Nadeshiko, but to hell with the combined form. It's just Meteor Fourze with skis!

Eh, most of the Fourze exclusives are between ¥3500-¥4000. They aren't that bad overall, only compared to how cheap the regular Fourze figures are. The killer ones in that line seem to be the Figuarts Zero Zodiarts, which I doubt I will ever be able to justify buying.

My Fire states is actually pretty tight jointed, and is for sale/trade for a base states if anyone wants it :lol

I have no Fourze figuarts, so no comment :lol

That's really the only reason I got Elek, saw it for 8 bucks on Mandarake. Shipping/PayPal fees brought it to almost 30, but it has none of the common QC issues, so I'm fine with it.

The only Fourze figuart I ever had trouble with was one mildly loose hip on Cosmic States, just loose enough that any dynamic poses that put weight on that hip tend to make him fall over after a few days. But I just use a stand to pose him in the air and it looks fine.

I admit I don't have Fire, Elec, Magnet or the Fusions so I can't say about them, but my Base states, both Meteors and Nadeshiko are all great with not QC issues.
