https://www.entertainmentearth.com/product/full-metal-panic-laevatein-ver-iv-metal-build-action-figure/blfban17778That's a pretty solid deal for Laevatein, but a straight up great deal for Arbalest.
>>7282187>>7282530Dang, sorry it went so fast! I swear it was real though, haha. Managed to grab one myself.
>>7282478Hmm, maybe the base of the fin is slightly too big or the hole in the helmet is slightly too small and that's messing with the tolerances. Perhaps try filing down the fin's base just a little bit? Or maybe your Zaku just doesn't want the command responsibility, haha.
>>7282602I haven't seen any complaints about the poseability being limited or anything. Just last thread there was an anon who got in his GM Cold District and was super happy with it. I picked up two so I'll be able to see for myself, though I won't get'em til after the DX VF-1J releases.
>>7282505>>7283435Looks great, grats on the new addition anon! Is his waist joint ratcheted? Sorry to hear about the missing claw though, wasn't floating around inside the tray/box, was it? Have you tried contacting Mandarake for help? Folks in Japan are able to get support from Bandai (the middleman I used for RD Byarlant Custom was able to get me a piece Byarlant was missing), though Mandarake wasn't very helpful to this anon
