I didn't even realize people were having issues with SS Gaim. My copy is perfectly fine, with no armor pieces falling off and everything functioning well. Only issue I really have is the sculpting on the feet can make him a little tricky to stand sometimes, but otherwise he's one of the best Seihous I own. I'm hoping Baron will be in the same ballpark.
OOO, on the other hand, I've had a bad experience with. All the knees and elbow joints on my TaToBa just completely crumbled apart.

Then again, we do usually get two retail releases, Gotchard was an exception because Gotchard didn't really have another Rider that early on. So technically Valen at retail could be possible. But I'm still betting on Web-Exclusive. Quote:

It's sounds, from your comments and the ones below, like there are just flat-out QC problems with this line. This has been my concern ever since... which was the first Shinkocchou Seihou figure to try to replicate a Rider's form-change gimmick? Was it Den-O? OOO? The Seihou line is losing some of the things that made it great in the name of swappable-armor gimmicks.

In my case, the sword on his helmet crest came off immediately after he came out of the box. I was able to pop it back on, but that definitely set a tone. His hip accessories kept popping off when I tried to swap out his hands and get him in a simple, neutral pose, and I was reminded unpleasantly of the things I hadn't been so thrilled with about original Figuarts Gaim.
Granted it could have been better implemented, like having a more solid connection or including a spare for when it inevitably breaks or gets lost due to how easily it pops off. If I had to guess though, this is pre-tooling for Kachidoki Arms, which I'm guessing is going to outright be a set a la Pine and Ichigo, or both a set and a full figure depending on the buyer's preference. It's devilish in any case. Quote:
The figure looks nice so long as I don't touch it, but I'm not looking forward to further posing it, or making use of the Pine/Ichigo set I preordered.
I'd been hoping Shinkocchou Seihou would finally get around to Fourze, but now, I'm significantly less excited, given we can pretty much assume Bandai will return to the limb-swapping. Quote:

That too yeah. Can't really move the figure without popping some piece loose. Rather infuriating. Well on mine everything falls off rather easily and the joints are so loose you can do the helicopter if you slightly shake it. It handles like a lousy knock-off toy. Sometimes you win the QC lottery and sometimes you lose I guess. I just wish I hadn?t lost on this specific release. At the same time, I'm coming at this from a line with a much more involved armor swapping gimmick created by a team that's maybe as big as the one Bandai had working on... Rebel Moon, I guess?... and has a much more exciting and solid execution. So despite everything and knowing full well Bandai Gonna Bandai, I expected better. Lesson learned, I suppose.

If it doesn't make retail I hope they release Valen as FrS like Geiz in the future.
