Got mine in earlier, a little disappointed with the QC. I assumed the switch to a jap factory would boost the quality, but it seems the same as the old factory. Hopefully the joints will hold up longer compared to the older ones. Still, very nice figure, just wish mine wasn't having issues.
>sticky paint on the alternate hands
>left eye fell out (though, I was able to put it back into it's socket. Its a little lose though, it popped back out inside of it's head while I had it sitting on my desk.
>torso, waist, jaw, toes, and head are all a little loose, feels like they could fall apart at any moment, though has had yet too, which is great.
>The jaw is on the verge of falling off right out of the box, the head parts either won't hold together tight, or have a hard time reconnecting correctly. Neck causes some issues with the jaw that the carb unit doesn't seem to have (not sure about anti carb, don't have him with me atm.
>the torso creaks like crazy. The shell feels very flimsy and could break if you're not careful. I hope its just me being paranoid, but that sound and hollowness is not something i have experienced with the carb or anti carb.
>A few joints are VERY stiff, specifically the shoulders. Word of warning, be very gentle with moving them as the connection for the torso and the arm is a very thin peg, and it looks like it could break easily if you use too much force. (I'm in some pretty warm weather, so I didn't need to heat up the joints, so for those of you in snowy places, please break out the blow dryer before posing!)
Those so far are my issues. It seems like a lot, but after getting him posed on my desk, I'm super happy to have him. He's super cute and charming! I could get him to sit down pretty naturally looking too. Maybe a tad expensive for $150, considering he only has the face mask and two extra set of hands, but his articulation is really something else. I feel its an improvement over both the carb and anticarb units, at least in the hips
