I expected better of the SHF. Considering the wrist on mine also broke, I don't hold that figure, or Sharivan and Shaider in high regards. They look nice but are some of my least favorite releases of 2013.

I guess, only having watched the Gavan movie and the Super Hero Taisen he was in, I am not familiar with what Gavan, Shaider or Sharivan could be missing. Type G was only in those two things, and I watched both, so he doesn't seem to be missing anything, IMO.

As far as the wrists go, I think people just yank on them way too hard, or maybe Shaider is improved from Gavan, because mine are fine, they don't seem any less sturdy than other pre-mid-2013 Figuarts wrists. That said, they have done a good job of beefing up the wrist joint on Figuarts, Alt Zero, Abyss, and Blade King all seem to have really nice and sturdy wrists.

As far as articulation, the only bit that I find to be hindered compared to other Figuarts is maybe the shoulders a little? Not really sure, again, maybe Shaider is different than Gavan in that department.

I am not saying that you can't dislike the figure, I am just trying to figure out WHY, considering I think Shaider isn't even close to the worst Figuarts released this year.
