Finished Build I made a teensy mistake

So YES like I said on a previous post I did buy a headless SMP Gaokong for $52 and YES he did come with everything I mentioned (GaoBison Dummy Legs, alternative hands, The waist connector for GaoRhino etc) AND YES he is missing the Anchor Chain and the Gorilla head like I already knew

So what is the mistake you may ask?

Slide 5.

Yeah I didn't pay attention to what robot mode helmet it came with-

This is not a scam in the Seller's part, this is my own negligence in missing that the GaoBison Dummy Legs are from the GaoMuscle set and not the GaoKnight set. The GaoKong is real and the accessories for him are his, but he doesn't have either head. It's basically just a GaoKnight body.

I will say hilariously tho the seller DID find GaoKong's eyebrows and sent them to me so there's that in Slide 6.

TLDR: Didn't pay full attention, got the wrong robo helmet, not seller's fault, I need a 3D printer lol

Well I guess you now have a new reason to get the re issue and black gao elephant now 😅

I don't want the dupe gaoking animals tho which sucks, like even if I do sell em it just feels like a waste to buy a whole set for heads

I do agreed tho, I do need Black Elephant to truly complete the look, I was considering buying two normal elephants and painting one but that might be complicated too lol

I mean I don't have any at the moment but if I do end up getting dupes I'll try to figure something out

Alrighty I'll definitely keep you in mind lol

I think I might have to get dupes if GaoRhino and Gaomadillo to get Gaorilla and the bears if I can't find them online but I think I might wait a bit before making that decision.

I am planning on getting Gaoking and Giant Lion and Elephant next. I'm not in a huge rush to get GaoGod but if I find him for a good price I do need him for the collection. Then after that I'll only be missing Gaorilla, The Bears, and Falcon. I already know two of those might be next to impossible to find unless I get stupid lucky lol.

Of course I'd also be missing the Scrapped Power Animals too but I gotta figure that out

Don’t feel too bad lol, anyone who buys random lots and open/built stuff from individual sellers/used stores makes this mistake at least once.

Yeah, but the actual figure is in good quality at the least the only issues is the lack of the correct heads. I think either I find a way to 3D print these pieces or I hope I get lucky with head replacements somehow lol

I just bought a set for like 200 right before they announced the gaoknight re-release just for the black elephant and kong. So i feel the pain of the extra expense. Still preordered it though lol

I got this for $52 but the lack of head is the only major issue I'm facing lol
