Posted by Blowfish On September - 15 - 2008

Oh what a wonderful day! I have my day off and the postman delivers 2 small boxes from HLJ^^.The Content and my EPIC Fail is right after the Jump!

Its the long awaited Kanu Figma plus Cammy and Lucia that ive bought for 70% off at HLJ`s Clearance Sale!In the end i paid more for the figma than for the other 2 figures :D

Ive only had experience with Revoltechs so far and i was quite excited about my first Figma.They feel alot more like PVC Figures in contrast to the plastic feel of Revoltechs.Kanu feels really fragile compared to  Asuka/Rei/Revy and i am quite scared to break any of the joints.Ive read about the weak joints in alot blogs  and tried to be as careful as possible.While all the joints are still intact i failed in another department: Kanus spear.I havent had any problems with Reis Lance of Longius so far but i already scratched off alot of paint of the spear when i tried to put it into Kanus hand.The  paint is now in Kanus hand and the spear shows ugly white plastic.I didnt use any force or did anything else wrong…The paint just went off.I wonder if other people are having the same problem with Kanus Spear…

The paint isnt supposed to be in her palm GRrrrrrrrr

The paint isnt supposed to be in her palm GRrrrrrrrr

I display Kanu without her spear right now because i dont wanna scratch more paint off.If anyone has a hint on how to fix this ill be grateful.

Ill post reviews of the figures soon.

Giving back some love!

    That sucks about Kanus spear, sorry to hear she turned out that way… I don’t have any paint problems with any of my figmas yet. As I really don’t know what to do if paint comes off i don’t have any sound advice right now, but if I find out anything that would help I’ll let you know.

  5. Q Said,

    That’s odd. I haven’t seen paint coming off that badly before. A lot of people are having problems with their figmas recently. Has it got to do with the quality check?

    @Q
    Yeah the complaints of people became more and more in the last months
    It seems that ive got a Monday Model

    @Otaku Dan
    Yeah i could try that but i fear that itll come off again

    @James
    Yes it is.You cant push the spear through the hands if you dont take it of.The paint came off during that process.

    Pics are up :D
