mechaninac Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 My Lisa has been stuck in pre-shipment hell since the 6th... Quote
jenius Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Yeah, I got a notification a long while ago but last I checked it was still in HK. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Mine might have gotten sent early, since they stuck in some parts for my VF-1S, it arrived without wing hardpoints and I said they could ship them with the Misa I had on order. Quote
Jasonc Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Looks like the Gorgeous Sheryl Nome figure is delayed again until late November. I got an email from AmiAmi. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 My 2 Lisas are coming in on Monday. Looking forward to putting her in some poses. Quote

Roy Focker Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 I'm not a big fan of their stands. Lisa/Misa fell off her stand in the display case. She's not broken but I can't find her laptop. Now I have to option to either wait and magically find it 6 months from now or remove every item out of the case and search for it today. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Odd, she seems to peg in fairly securely, at least for mine. Quote
treker14 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 I ordered my Lisa from BBTS but have received it yet. Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Help! I was taking pictures of Misa/Lisa and was removing her right saluting hand and the tiny wrist peg broke off in the hand. I switched out hands on the peg about 4 times total since I got the figure. First time using that hand. It didn't feel like it was giving me any trouble. Is this even fixable? Quote

Their customer service is superb. Quote

Were kitzconcept customer service able to help you? I'm waiting to hear back from them myself. Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 20, 2020 Posted October 20, 2020 Haven't contacted them yet. Not sure what can be done. Looking at seeing what kind of repair I can do. For those that haven't broke your figure yet. Pick out your favorite hands and stick with them for now until the end of time. I no longer consider these action figures. They are pre-assembled plastic models with limit articulation. Quote
sh9000 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I’ve slowly and carefully removed the hands and swapped them multiple times on Lisa with no problems. Quote
Slave IV Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Yeah, the joints are delicate but as long as you are careful and used to swapping small parts like it, there shouldn’t be a problem. Either way, I think KC should be able to help if you explain what happened and ask nicely. Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 This is not a joke but her other hand just broke off. I literally just picked her up and started to gently move her unbroken wrist. Barely moved it 1 cm when the whole wrist peg broke. Quote

I was going to open mine today but got caught up and probably won’t get to it. Quote
Roy Focker Posted October 24, 2020 Posted October 24, 2020 1 cm is just the first number I came up with when typing. I haven't mastered the metric system. Should have said that I just started to move her hand when it broke. Quote
technoblue Posted October 25, 2020 Posted October 25, 2020 Oof. That’s terribly frustrating. I’ve been there too—sometimes it’s simply a bad joint; sometimes I accidentally move the joint beyond its range without thinking. Hm. I wonder if any of KC figures are compatible with Figma joint spares? Goodsmile is selling different colored sets at the moment, for preorder on their US site even. As long as the color matches and you can clear the broken pieces from the socket, it could be another option. Anyway, just throwing it out there. I still need to check joint compatibility myself. KC may also send spare joints if you write to customer support about your issue. Quote
technoblue Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 +1 Personally, I wish Hikaru had less aggressive and more dreamy eyes for this particular shot, but otherwise it's spot on to the scene. Hikaru and Misa look great together scale-wise to my old eyes. Well done, @sh9000. Quote

Roy Focker Posted November 13, 2020 Posted November 13, 2020 Customer Service helped fix my issue with some replacement parts. The peg that fits in the forearm is much thicker than the peg that fits in the hand. When fishing out the peg in the wrist ended up making forearm hole slightly larger. I selected 2 hands to be the life-time hands. I think I know what the problem is. The hand holes might be too small. Combined with fragile/small joint pegs. When testing the new range of motion I noticed the hands were no longer rotating at the hand peg. That hand hole/peg is too tight. Rotation was now happening in the forearm hole that became larger when I was fishing out the broken peg. Quote
Jasonc Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 The Sheryl Gorgeous figure has been once again delayed. Delay says late December now. Quote

However they better not have these issues for Dana, or any Zentraedi soldier figs that we would want to put into fire team poses. Quote
Jasonc Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 It says middle of December, so I'm just waiting for my payment notice for Sheryl. Quote
borgified Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 @Lolicon - Hopefully that you'll get your "I dream of Genie" Sheryl soon. Quote

That's also my main problem with Dynaction Eva Type-01. Not sure where to put it. That's why I didn't place an order. But then atleast the Eva can bend like this somehow. Quote
