The biggest offender is the gate mark on the top of the crest, but even that's not super noticable. The paint is almost perfect, but wheras Hibiki was actually perfect, there's still a skant few areas of issue on Gaim. Mostly the shoulder armour. the wrist pegs are absurdly small. Like, ridiculous, luckily his hands are almost gummy so the fear of swappign in deminished, but I seriously needed to sand some of the tiny, tiny holes on the hands wider. One hand was actually closed with mould flash or something. Past that, the only other issue is the cheap-looking belt strap. It's a Mattel-quality cheap, almost transparent yellow plastic that's slightly mismoulded on the back. But again, such a small issue.

I love it. Sorry Hibiki you've been replaced.

Well, to be fair, the Shinkoucho Seihou line is supposed to make normal figuarts look like toys anyway, so the difference is understandable. For standard Figuarts, however, the Gaim series are some of the best out there.
