A user in Vietnam has found a possible fix for the paint chippign issues with SS Tiga.

Once you remove it from the box, leave it in a dry idea and do not touch the figure for at least a full day, or 24 hours. Apparently this helps to dry the paint and stick better, so it won't rub off as easily.

Would putting it in say, an empty closed drawer be a good way of doing this?

Perhaps? Your best bet is leaving it out in the open with some form of cover over it to prevent dust from sticking.

Am prepared to put in my 1st used order from Mandarake? In general, what can I expect with an item "opened, used, package damaged"? I have seen they actually will put up photo if there is any damage and obvious paint chips.

"Package Damaged" in my experience is used for even extremely mild things like scuffs on the box, maybe a dent. Also stuff like removed sellotape taking off some of the top layer details.

If it was anything even slightly important they would have images to show it like you said. Unless you are the most extremely stringent must-be-100%-mint-sealed-box collector it'll be literally nothing

Promising.

Hopefully no rubber parts… cool to see them bringing back Kaiju though, aside from that Zetton pseudo reissue it’s been a while

MoarCrossovers · 08-07-2021, 11:33 AM

Oh god, what if they gave Golza a rubber tail?

One more Tiga news. You have to leave him out untouched in a dry place for a week. Not a day, a week and then he'll be fine.

Well, that's... something.

Boy I'm not sure how I'm gonna do this then. An air conditioned room as well...
