>>7342269>Hope your middle-man is able to pull through for you as well.That he did, a technically complete box showed up Friday at his shop(oddly not his home where he directs my orders usually). Box wasn't in the shipper; and it is in pretty rough shape apparently; but after checking for defects this time he says everything for a complete figure is there! So really stoked that it worked out this way.
Went and bought a Zaku Cannon off the regular who offered his third JR Gelgoog, since he wanted trim a squad a bit.
>>7344588Gonna be the Leo for me, basic figure can be found for an impulse price of 1-1.5k yen on Mandarake these days; but is still a fun figure. With optional part sets for similarly low prices, that can be spread among three maybe four figures.
As well, maybe the OG GM Sniper II that's about to be replaced with the ANIME version. Was or is still pretty cheap(might even drop to old HGUC Kit 800-1000 yen pricing when the ANIME drops...), but has a pretty sleek design; and has dome decent articulation for a sniper design. Full disclosure I'm likely considering this one due to nostalgia, and at the time this was the ONLY articulated GM Sniper II around; besides a handful of resin conversion/full kits...
>>7345131>>7345656I think you'll be quite fine, Hy-Gogg seems to have been given more attention than most ANIME RDs. Paint QC was damn near flawless on mine, with minimal or no nub marks(something I've only experienced on the Dunbine and Patlabor figures). To the point that it might've affected the GM Cold Districts some, as while its still decent; its not as polished as the Hy-Gogg turned out.
>RD joints are built to be durable, so joint breakages are very rare barring any manufacturer's defect (see poor Canada anon's Gelgoog).Comfortable thinking this might've been a rare accident as well, while there was a hole in the joint; comprised material might've been what did this joint in for me.
