Right. My plan for Tiga.

That whole 6-days-in-an-air-conditioned-room thing... the thing is, I don’t really... have air conditioning? So best I can do is just have Tiga stood still in one pose without that, and leave him at least 8 days; and not open the window or anything like that in that time. That should hopefully be enough time for it to dry or anyone to tell me otherwise, right?

For his Zeperion Ray effect, I assume the 3P company that made replacement elbows for OOO and Decade will make ones for Tiga (and Super Tatoba). I will wait on that happening and just not even think about touching the piece otherwise. If no-one ever does replacement elbows? Well, uh, I guess Tiga just can't do his signature move, then!

The gears? Well... well I just won’t move the arms much, I guess. Thanks Bandai!

So for now, here he is on my shelf (excuse the lighting). And I have to say, despite everything, he does look amazing. Like he looks marvelous, beyond all my expectations. Absolutely spot on, with the headsculpt and eyes in particular being so striking. If it weren’t for Bandai flying too close to the sun and trying to impress with bullshit rubber and gear stuff then I’d go as far as naming him one of my figures of the year already, but... here we are. At least in the long run he’ll look amazing.
