Ugh. It would be super-nice if S.H. Figuarts Upgrade provided instructions for how to use their products without breaking the figure in question. Broke the waist on Saber while trying to replace the bloody skirt.

literally never had a problem with SHFUpgrade products and I'm pretty rough with my Figuarts in general - relatively speaking.
you are supposed to use a flat head screwdriver to slowly pry the waist and lower torso apart. this is how it's always been - even before SHFUpgrade came around. I honestly have no fucking idea how you can even get it into a position where the waist peg would be in any danger. I've dissected so many Figuarts to death and I didn't even know that was possible.

Yeah I've just grabbed the lower waist joint, and gently pull. Never have I used a screwdriver.
I did use pliers for the weird nob on Cronus to get his skirt on. God that was a pain. |

I wish I'd asked about instructions before I'd tried installing it. I'd assumed I could just pull the torso and waist apart - you can do it with Shinkocchou Seihou without a problem - but when that didn't work for me, I tried twisting the waist, thinking maybe there was a screw mechanism.
In retrospect, that shouldn't have done anything but engage the waist swivel. In practice, will relatively little pressure, it sheared straight through the peg connecting them, and in such a way they don't fit back together. |

But it seems you're not the only one who had this problem. Saber waists are a little more tight-fitting it seems, even though I didn't have this problem for Blades. You're only other choice is to do what the guy did and repair his Saber by drilling a hole and sticking a metal rod in, or grabbing another Saber SHF. Not like he's super expensive. |

Just got my Naki in. Very very VERY cool figure!! Wonderfully bulky with a lot of character and they absolutely nailed the headsculpt and details. The only real problems I have are the undetailed Progrise Key and that it could have done with a couple more pairs of hands; but broadly this is a near-perfect representation of one of my favourite Kamen Rider characters and I'm super in love

Wish their white armor is actually shaded like the show, but the clean white is also pretty to look at. You have Rogue or Stalk, though? Would be neat to see how Naki looks next to similar-undersuit-using-characters.
Also, in topics, do we have any solid release date for Jaou Dragon and/or Saikou? |
