So does anyone know why Wizard comes with 2 sets of holding hands? Both the right holding hands are near identical and one of the right ones has no trigger finger. The instructions didn't specify what they were for or if they did it was in text only. This is BoukenRed all over again.

Did BoukenRed have two holding hands?

Wizard arrived today for me as well. Tattered box, no Strike Robe, and the same QC issues as everyone else. I'm just glad to finally have it.

I think the ones on the bottom of the tray are meant for the gun. The trigger is at a slightly different angle from the sword, but it's a rather arbitrary difference anyways.

What qc issues? I had to apply some shock oil to the inner shoulder joints on mine (which was a pain) and the driver loves to come off, though I assumed the latter was just an issue with the toy in general. Mine's box was a bit banged up as well, and it even came in an oversized box from Amazon.

The ones at the bottom of my tray had the left hand with no trigger finger sculpted, you sure they're for the gun?

According to the instruction sheet, the holding things hand that has the trigger finger eeeever so slightly more closed... is for both sword and gun. >_< It's labeled hand #2 and they show hand #2 on both weapons.

Having tried both hands on both weapons, I really don't think there's any difference. Maybe you want the sliiightly more open one on the gun. But seriously there's so little difference it shouldn't matter.

I hadn't mentioned it yet, but yes my box was slightly banged up too. Despite the ridiculously large shipping box and packing material.. But then when they shove it in the freakin side of the box instead of wrapped by the cushioning, it's not surprising. Amazon's pretty bad at doing that. "Oh, let's stuff a whole shitton of this massive bubbley stuff in there so the customer thinks we're protecting it! But make sure to crush the item in a corner first!"

Hearing all this hoopla regarding the Bluefin Wizard makes me glad I nabbed mine from a con.

By QC issues I meant the falling belt and weak waist joint. They might just be design flaws, but whatever.

As for the hands, I was just positing a guess. I have no idea, really. Maybe the left hand is meant for holding the sword/gun handle while the other hand is on the trigger.

That's a problem on mine too…apparently all the Wizards have that.

My Wizard comes apart at the waist like crazy.

So remember those red Sentai customs I posted a few months ago? Looks like he's either done a lot more since, or someone else is doing just as good a job....
