>>5353646Nagisa and Honoka from Pretty Cure - had to draw a picture for this one. What you see in this picture is a representation, from bird's-eye view, of the pegs and holes that a figure has for the purpose of swapping face plates. On the left, something normal. On the right, what Nagisa and Honoka have. The inward pegs on the right are exaggerated to emphasize shape - they're not that far in, otherwise the face plates would not fit in at all. But that is the general shape. Who thought this was a good idea? Is it for security? Point is, it's very difficult to switch face plates.
Almost all of my figuarts have some issue with them, be it QC in sculpt or paint (if I'm so lucky, that means I might be able to get it replaced) or an inherent design flaw. I've got a number of figuarts that I am glad to have - I love Sadako and 18 in particular - but it's a disappointing line that leaves much to be desired, which is why I don't pre-order them anymore, regardless of how much I want it.
