So that means don’t preorder the first batch, yes? That used to be my general rule for third party toys, especially for new companies. But since it's Sazabi I jumped the gun. I checked another review and it looks like the inner shoulder joint will have some weight issues. Hopefully, that could be easily remedied. Quote

anime52k8 Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 So, should I cancel my preorder? Mines for the march batch but that's pretty worrying. Quote

Alphahorizon Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Think even the March release is to soon to fix the issues? Quote

The issues mentioned above don't sound too bad. No major breakages so that's good. I think as long as I can tighten the inner shoulder joint with some superglue/ floor polish, I should be satisfied.

I think as long as I can tighten the inner shoulder joint with some superglue/ floor polish, I should be satisfied. I haven't receive my shipping notification yet on this Sazabi. But if ever, this is going to be my second experience for getting a figure that has some issues from a new 3P company. The first one was the Zeta one, which I think has more issues than the Sazabi. And there were no signs of Zeta getting a 2nd batch release that has fixes since the current release already went for discount at ShowZ. Atleast there's a good chance that Sazabi can be fix during the 2nd batch release. Quote
SuperHobo Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 Man, the packaging for SInanju is looking pretty "garage kit" like and back alley level of quality. https://ggmara.blogspot.com/2020/01/1100_13.html Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 13, 2020 Posted January 13, 2020 The Metal Club Freedom is going to get released soon. I know Metal Club already have a good reputation on these KO stuff. However, I prefer what WuMing did on their Freedom, design-wise. Which I just bought a 2nd batch version just last week. Hope it's not going to have loose joints nor any issues again from the first batch release.

Until those issues came out after it got released a few days ago. Quote

WuMing was using the superior model, a Resin Kit for the 2.0 Freedom. Unfortunately. there are a lot of QC problem, they even had to scrap the whole first batch due to how bad the pre-prod review. Unfortunately, first batch to market is still bad. Quote

I think as long as I can tighten the inner shoulder joint with some superglue/ floor polish, I should be satisfied. I'm not real concerned. I knew I was gambling. And maybe with some fine tuning it can work for me. I don't play, only display, so it probably won't be a big deal. Looks like the real problem is going to be the need for a turntable for this guy. Man, the back side looks just as good as the front! Quote

But frakk this was almost 200US. That is not acceptable. Quote

slaginpit Posted January 13, 2020 Author Posted January 13, 2020 crap i hate this collecting business. I looked at the Metal Club. I have the kysh with which is good quality the shoulder on the left is starting to sag a bit, nothing than a little nail polish could fix. I looked at my aged Metal Build Bandai Freedom looked at the Metal Club looked back the Bandai and said frakk it. I used my premium points and bit the wallet. Cei La Vie wallet. I hated you anyways Quote

Let's just say that here's other stuff on the WuMing figure that I like more than the Metal Club. The only thing I'm thinking now is that since this is my first WuMing figure, I wish that it's not a let down. Quote

According the experience of MB line i hope that Bandai will ignore MG line and will made own design for Freedom v2. And maybe it will be close to these 3p Metal Build figures, who knows? Anyway, last time there are too many 3p figures for me - Kshatriya, Sazabi, Sinanju, maybe Nu... Edited January 13, 2020 by doomgart Quote
