Had a bit of a Full Metal Panic kick lately, and after picking up the Savage a couple weeks ago, decided to get a Codarl to face off against my Arbalest.
I can't say I've ever seen someone post the standard silver Codarl around here, so it was great to get it in-hand because it felt like a very overlooked figure to me. It's pretty great; there are a few spots where articulation can feel a bit limited, but so far I haven't had any major issues. And the all-silver looks really sleek in-hand. It also comes with some really great accessories, although with an odd lack of closed fists.
>>5793594Oh my, that's unfortunate. I was pretty tempted to get a Laevatein and Belial, so it's sad to hear you had such issues with your Laevatein. I had pretty much decided against picking them up anyway, but this kinda sealed the deal...
As far as the joints go, I haven't heard of any way to tighten the joints with dowel pins in them. But if you need to tighten any ball joints, you could try a coat of clear nail polish over the ball or shoving a tiny amount of tissue paper in the socket, in case you weren't aware already.
