[NGW]

Been fiddling around with Wizard a bit more. Funny enough outside of the day I got him in I really hadn't handled him all that much. I got him into a pose I really liked on his stand and just left him there.

Now that I've got him in hand some more and have posed him a bit, I really really do like him. His hip joint seems to have settled itself a touch, it's not as bad as it was, and *knock on wood* hasn't popped off on me again in a while. His belt is even behaving itself.

I've never really agreed with the complaints on his proportions. No they aren't perfect, but other than his feet being a bit big I honestly don't think he looks all that off, at least not to his detriment.

And just aesthetically the figure is beyond beautiful. That flat, matte black on his coat in contrast to the absolutely gorgeous red, and the use of transparent plastic with the shiny red underneath is just...my God the figure really is like a gem.

Also, anyone with Ryuki, just how bad are the loose ports that I have seen/heard about? Is it a common issue? Is it bad enough to be a real mark against the figure? Also kinda worried about Dragredder getting loose over time, or his whiskers breaking (ditto the ones on the strike vent).
