That's a human hair attached to his face. I can't seem to do anything to remove it either

I've sent an email to GSC and complained, so hopefully their customer service will pull through and they'll send me a replacement face. Considering how Japanese collectors seem to get annoyed by the littlest discrepancies, I'm hoping they'll find this as unsightly as me.

Hey, they're trying to improve the "realism" of the face sculpt.

Really though, hope you get your replacement face. Can imagine the gross factor.

My big purchases arrived today, but not without some heartbreak. The DX Great Baan Gaan was listed on Yahoo Auctions as "Unopened" but it turns out it was resealed: MachSperion's gun, one bullet, the instructions, and the screw hole plugs were all missing. Given the price, I'm gonna try to raise a claim with the middleman service I use, but I'm not expecting them to do much.
It just sucks.. Baan Gaan has been a grail of mine since I saw him in the Brave/Eldoran toy guide book and it is the most expensive figure I've ever purchased. And boy let me tell you Baan Gaan really needs his instructions. CM's uses a lot of partsforming to make excellent-looking modes, a lot of the pieces are very tiny, and very delicate.

The Gosaurer is the original Japanese release with the chrome pieces. Quest Knight and Power Nose were sealed new.

That's one heck of a haul, good sir! I'm almost ashamed to post my one little item today!

(If you ever decide to part ways with that Gokaiger pin, let me know.

)

As for me... More Momo!
