>>10696055>looks pretty good but it seems like your panel lines are inconsistent, some are much darker than others even on the left/right versions of the same part>did you have to deal with trimming a lot of flash or ajusting too-loose/too-tight joints? those are usually the quality issues to watch out for in bootlegsWhat do you mean panel lines? The area between pieces when you snap them together? I don't know what you mean by trimming flash. I'm not hip to all the lingo. All I know is the gate is what they come molded in and you call the leftover you cut off nubs. I was never heavy into the hobby, only originally getting into it so I knew how to build a super minipla Megazord because I was a big Power Rangers fan. Then I kept buying super cheap kits online because building helped keep me distracted when I was getting sober. Then I just stopped because I was buying kits to build and just throwing them away, not having a place for them or caring about the property they were from.
Very sure it's not a knockoff, it was sold in a store, had Bandai all over the box and bluefin. It was just at a steep discount and a character I liked, so I took the dive to get back into it. I have a house now instead of renting a room, so I actually have a place for my models now too.
What I meant by finicky joints was like when I pull out his hands to swap them, the ball socket in wrist the hands plug into pop out with the hand, so I have to pop those back in (why the line on wrist might look more pronounced, I just resplit it to try and secure the plug better).
Also finicky that his shoulder pads pop off when I raise the arm high. And when I try to move his arm out, the inner part pops out visible and looks awful. It popped out completely once, but I reopened the chest and fiddled with it and it's been more secure since. It still comes out his body when I use full range of motion, but still stays attached.
