It's not a great example of the line, but I don't hate it. I think it's specifically the Batta legs that hurt it the most. GataKiriBa has similar leg problems. All the other OOO forms are great though. Personally, I'd say TaJaDor and PuToTyra are best. With LaToraTah behind them.

Also, has anyone heard back from Bluefin about the Wizard Strike Robe? I do realize they had a con over the weekend but I e-mailed both then & Amazon Saturday and no response from either yet. Maybe I'm just spoiled by how fast they got back to me about Rider 1

I did get a response saying they'd send it out after the con, but I haven't gotten any kind of shipping notice yet.

Most of them are fine as is. I'd say the only ones that truly need to be reworked are TaToBa, GataKiriBa, and SaGoZo. I really don't see why they didn't/couldn't make the claws fold out instead of having to swap parts.

This

TaToBa is probably one of the weakest figures I've messed with.

Other than when they told me that they would be shipping me the robe after they returned from the con, I've heard nothing.

I wish Black would get a new sculpt

I do to. Mostly because I want him to come with some effect pieces and hands that actually match his poses in the show. Yes, he used his fists, but he did not always pose himself with his fists closed. Plus, I need some actually hands that can hold the Satan Saber to recreate the climatic battle.

I like my TaToBa a lot too. I got a second run one(without the Ankh hand) and it had no QC problems. Maybe everyone who hates it got the first run? Just throwing that out there.

The only problem I have with TaToBa is the lack of accessories and that he cannot really stand without something behind him to keep him up.

I'm wanting to switch hands on the replacement I got, but I'm worried.
Thanks for any tips

Moved your request to the Ultra-Act thread, soybean56, so your question can be more visible to other Ultra-Act owners.

All this talk of the OOO Figuarts being poor is making me nervous for my reissue Tatoba at the end of the month.

Ah well, he's been pretty high up my to-get list for a while.

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).
