Naturally there’s more than enough reports to show the issue is widespread and Bandai deserves a lot of criticism for it especially on such a popular figure, but there’s so many reports of the opposite that I’m not willing to believe it’s an engineering problem instead of a QC problem with particular batches.

I implore you to read my previous posts where I elaborated on my conclusion why this IS an engineering problem.

And just to throw in, mine is fine as well.

I'm already aware of the issues you guys mentioned. Let's make apple-to-apple comparison on the one thing we're talking about:
the new joint system, notoriously the new elbow joint system.
Not Fourze Driver, wrist joints, hip joints. They're all different stories.

So going as far as doom saying future figures that haven’t even happened yet feels a bit premature.

If that's the case, then it's great! I will pre-order the SHF SS Latoratah right away.

You fiend, we won't let you get away with this.
