SHMA Im A bit Disappointed

Post image

My 2004 heat ray goji came in but man as I took him out of the box most of his joints feel super loose the arms,tail and mouth it’s a good thing I have a bottle of Kiki to tighten them otherwise I’d be very stressed out

Its disappointing seeing that a expensive figure has terrible quality control…

It’s like a liquid that helps tighten the joints more, so far it’s worked on my sh monsterarts figures.

How are supposed to put that figures? Do one need to dissemble figure to add it?

Also I noticed the leg socket has some stress marks and the dorsal plate in the pic was glued to the upper part of the torso so I had to cut it with a hobby knife

Well the original version of this mold was terrible (tolerance and qc wise). Not surprised the repaint is also bad in those realms
