I broke the wrist joint of my Seihou Wizard swapping hands, and I think it's given me an anxiety disorder. Very, very anxious when I swap hands on any Figuarts.

Most of the time wrist joints on Figuarts are very durable and easy to swap around.
If it feels like the connection to the hand is too tight, I recommend shaving the pegs down just a bit with an exacto knife. I do this with all Figuarts that have tight wrist peg connections and it always works perfectly, especially on releases plagued with pegs prone to breakage like the Go-Busters or Kyoryu Red.

Rather than shaving pegs down, something easier to do is to just widen the holes of the hands using a single turn of a screwdriver.

Did it when I saw a little white mark on my flamingo Jin's wrist one time. Though, I'm not sure if that was just the light reflection making it look like a stretch mark or if it actually was. In any case, if one does break a wrist joint, there is this tiny ball-joint-and-peg that's included in gunpla add-on sets (Namely, Ballden arm arms and No-Name Booster, etc.) that fits perfectly where the wrist joint was and the ball perfectly fits the hole in the hands. I think I said this before here. |

I will say shaving the joint doesn't risk damaging it at all. It's trimming the plastic, so you are technically customizing it, but it's at most lightly shaving the ball portion of the joint on at least two sides.
Not as risky as some might think so long as you're not going nuts and just slicing it into a stick shape. Don't even need to heat the plastic beforehand.

Thanks for all the input guys, I'll be sure to remember this when I get to buy a Figuart. Turns out the only available shipping Mandarake offers to Australia is DHL at the moment due to the pandemic, which jacked up the cost way too high for my liking. I mean, it would be one thing if it was multiple items, but I'm not shelling out over $200 AUD for a single item, even if I do get 3 Figuarts out of it.
I'll just wait until this whole situation blows over or until SAL comes back before I buy something.

What?! Like, I'm glad they're technically re-issuing stuff, but... man that is mean. They knew what posting an image of the Keitaros phone as a teaser would do like- oh my GOD. I'm kinda laughing actually this is funny

Would it be called a reissue still if I said this version of Plat Form is only compatible for Axe/Rod and vice versa for the other Plat Form?
Kind of fucked for anyone who bought twice of the original Plat Form. |
