What were you expecting? It's a giant headed chibi cat with matchstick limbs. It stands there, looks cute, and does some rudimentary posing. I really am interested in what you thought you were getting.

Idk, I was expecting a more quality feel to it. It feels so disposable

First impulse purchase: Tomoko nendoroid, I liked the show and all but only got it because I thought the faceplates were hilarious and would be fun to mess around with, turned out I didn't really give a fuck about swapping parts that much. Ended up selling her for more than I got her so it wasn't that bad

Also bought a few accessories like chairs and teacups, and tiny swords because I thought they'd be fun to mess around with too, but the same happened and I ended up not caring.

Basically never buy a figure for its accessories.

The 60 or so odd dollars I spent on this.
If I wanted something that required a lot of labor I would've dropped 18 bucks on a gunpla I liked or something.

This happened to me with little armory guns, I got fed up with all the little parts from a rifle and just threw it away

Ugh, this.

It's not a horrible figure, but after how great I heard Shamrock and Clover both were, all the QC issues were a huge disappointment.

Wow so hard, might bust a vein there working on that unfinished figure

This is like hamhands on Downs syndrome.

No, they are like any model kits, require a bit of seam welding and paint to look as good as possible.

I've never done any of that with the bandai kits and they usually turn out pretty well. What's they typical method for doing this?

my local chinatown store sold a bunch of old revoltechs for 10$ on clearance a few years ago. Gigantor, some of the getters, a black sea bat thing. it was the greatest bargain ive ever gotten on japanese figures, but i didnt really have fun with them, and only kept like two guys

At first the QC wasn't that big of an issue, but now it seems like every time I pick her up a new joint has become loose. As my first Polynian it has successfully turned me off the line.
>>5767534
Ah yes, thank you for highlighting an issue I didn't have, I'll make sure to call you when I have some conclusions I need someone to jump to.

Man, thank God, and Paypal, that the payment window for Yume expired on me before I could get to pay for it.
Only downside is waiting up to fucking November for the re-release, but at least I can get her a senpai to look up to in the meantime.

I just hope this doesn't hit Daibadi too hard.
The new scarf-wearing boxing robot girl looks great and I hope they can make more crazy designs like that instead of just repaints of the fucking fetish robots.

putty and sanding.
plastic cement, the kind that melts plastic, and sanding.
super glue and baking soda, and sanding.

Only method that doesn't require sanding is using overly thick paints and not giving a shit.

probably these. as you can tell by pic, there is fuck all you can do with them. I wasnt expecting a lot of articulation but whatever articulation they had was SHIT. Arms move forwards and a little back, head tilts a MINISCULE amount.

theyre cute but a waste of money.

They came as a set, if I remember correctly. OP probably preordered two or three sets at once, then got them and realized their limitations.

Figma Mikasa and Eren. They're not bad figures by any stretch of the imagination but I only really got them after I binge-watched Shingeki no Kyojin. They're super fiddly to pose when they have the 3D Manoeuvre Gear on and they take up loads of shelf space. I got 'em for about £40 each which didn't seem unreasonable given the sheer amount of stuff in the box, but I still kinda regret it. I've got them packed away, I'll probably sell them.

I should've bought Wreckage. Though now I have a base for trying to make an Obsidian so not all is lost I guess.

What a piece of shit.

I bought a complete set. You could buy them in separate groups or all together and get the limited edition one as well.
