Unrelated, Wrath, remember me? I've pm'ed your and got no response. Did I miss something?

You Pmed me on here??? I don't see anything from you, send again man. I'm sorry I didn't mean to ignore your or anything.

Thank god I still live near enough to go and grab the parcel card. Would have noticed a lot sooner if they were like any other retailer and printed these addresses on their correspondence emails.

Ugh, that happened to me with Purolator not two weeks ago. I never understand how it happens.

Respectfully relieving Hibiki of his status of "Favourite."


Just a couple of really badly dressed people!


"Whoops."

Awesome shots dude!

But you know that the "Let's see some cool stuff"-topics exist, use them!

[SPLIT LIP]

Yeah, but I didn't want to spam both, and this thread lacks pics and I was already talking about Gaim before. :x

[barnstenchfartface]

Every time I see other people's Gaims I get so jealous of how theirs have feet that are apparently molded properly and their lockseed holders remain securely attached to their belts.

Also there aren't any random chinks on their armor and no weird paint overflow on the legs. That seems nice too. Jealous, I'm telling you. Sigh.

Really need to get me a new one.

Both the Musou Saber sheath and lock holder are secure on mine, the feet look moulded properly to me, but the open lock seed does fall out now and then. (though it seems to mostly be a result of the torso armour hitting it)

Though with the powerful USD, a new Gaim is $26 from HLJ not counting shipping. maybe they fixed a lot of the quality issues when they reissued it?

I kinda want a new one too, but it's not high on my priority list.

Seems unlikely, considering that the one I have was the rerelease.
I'm actually thinking of aiming for an older one, to try and get that first release bonus stage.

But yeah, mine's left foot has the area where the toe hinge is mismolded on both sides so the back end of the toe was just jutting out down there. As one can imagine, that severely interfered with basic things like "standing up properly" and "holding poses." I was sort of able to sand down the toe to make things better, but it's not entirely fixed and also I accidentally did away with some of the foot logo (truly a tragedy since that's one of my favorite things about the figure). Whereas the lockseed holder fell off about two seconds into handling him. I've been able to jam it back in, but it's a recurring thing. Definitely restricts what I can do with his right leg anyway.

There's a lot of other little grating things that I wouldn't mind on their own, but piled on top of these two big things it makes me quite an unsatisfied costumer.

And even then he's still one of the prettiest figures I own.


I do really want a new one, but other Gaim figures are higher priority...And I'm getting a Pine Gaim in a few days, hopefully he's issue free and lets me forget about orange's issues for a while...

You could always swap the issue-y parts from Pine on Orange if it's better quality.
