Sanity is Optional Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 I managed to get a set of replacement legs from Arcadia directly, however as stated earlier: I communicated with Arcadia in Japanese. I asked them to ship it to the address registered to my Arcadia webstore account, which is a Japanese address. Quote

Sanity is Optional Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Good luck, I will say that the leg replacement was quite easy, though closing the plastic clamshell was quite tight on the knurled pin used in the gerwalk joint. Quote
Mommar Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 I have no friends in Japan so I'm SOL. Already put the decals on the legs too... Quote

I just did it, it's easy. https://www.tenso.com/en That's what I did, Tenso for address, and google translate to augment my 3 semesters of college Japanese. But at this point it's mostly google translate doing the lifting (just translate it back to English to double-check the translation, and keep the sentences simple). Quote
sqidd Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 That looks great! I'm way too lazy, blind and hammer handed to do that. Quote
Mommar Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Dude, I barely have the eyesight for it anymore. Those damn white strips... Quote

I am trying to add details to the toy but I don't want to use the sticker sheet provided. The other possibily would be to print waterslide decals using a scan of the sticker sheet, so if somebody here can do it or knows someone who can, I'm all ears, thanks! AFAIK there aren't any SV-51 waterslides in this scale. There are for the 1/72 kits. As far as the 2nd option, you'd have to find someone that has access to a printer that can print white ink. Quote
valhary Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 still wondering where the hell must go the number 15 and 16 of the sticker sheet Quote

Chronocidal Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Anyone dig out the old Yamato D.D. figure to try in this one? Arcadia seems to have lost the ability to make in-scale figures, and this one is so tiny he can't even reach the controls. Quote
valhary Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 I feel the same this Ivanov is too small Quote
jenius Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Finally got mine... Now I need to figure out if the foot is wrong... Quote

I was hoping maybe someone on these boards would be able to print waterslide decals. Quote

I'll do that when I get home... I don't trust my own judgement on these things. The feet were pretty jostled on first look. Edited December 3, 2019 by jenius Quote
jenius Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Uh oh guys... I think something is afoot! I'm assuming they're supposed to be mirror images... it also looks like the one in the right in this picture is angled out a bit so I'm assuming that's the problem foot? Quote

Yep, you need to replace the right one. Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Looks like you got two left feet. You can try contacting the seller and seeing if they can get you a set of replacement legs. Quote

I'll give Anime-Export a chance now that I have it in hand. They stopped talking to me before they shipped it. They offered to check it... and then never did and stopped talking to me. Now that I have the toy... maybe they'll do something for me because it's a more traditional "hey, my toy arrived broken" type request? We'll see... if not I'll reach out to someone in Japan. If someone has the right foot and doesn't need it, let me know! Quote
Sandman Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Has this problem always the right foot and never the left? What are people doing with all these extra left feet? Quote

Slave IV Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Seems like every one I’ve seen posted has the wrong foot on the right. Now it’s making me thing the feet were attached to the slider bars as part of the process before assembling into legs and because the slider bars are asymmetrical but all the same on both sides, they attached the same left foot to all of them.

You would think at some point they would have run short of that foot (about half way through) and noticed. Quote

Yeah, you would think. Or they were just like damn, we need to produce more left feet, we must’ve accidentally shorted the production of them. Quote
