Does anyone else have problems with Android #17's arms being tight at the shoulders or is it an issue with mine specifically? I looked under his armpit and saw what appeared to be stress marks from the joints being tight, and I wanted to make sure nobody else is having this issue. For context's sake, here are some pictures. Left arm:  Right arm:  If there's a way to fix this please post about it. |

There are some posts with UI Goku wrist and neck pegs broken. Be careful. I just tried to change my Goku`s hands and they are super tight, so I didn`t force it. I`m glad I saw some posts about it. I`m going to use warm water... |

My gosh, how in the world did you take such a macro shot like that?? It's as if you used a microscope! A minute long soak in freshly microwaved water (in a glass measuring cup) generally helps in these situations. Figuarts scare me though too. I've never put the Demoniacal Fit Yamcha head on my Yamcha because the neck peg on Yamcha scares me to death  |

I've heard hair dryers and sanding the peg hole open also works. |

As a reminder, heat your Exclusive 17s up before doing ANYTHING with them.  Might just leave my #18 and UI Goku in their boxes. Regardless of if they look like golf's been played with them using a sledgehammer, not taking the same risks I did here. Tamashii Nations Quality. |

 Like I said in the upcoming releases thread, this actually isn't the end of the world for Jiren. He can still sing Goku the greatest Christmas carol of all time.
All jokes aside, Jiren's arm is still functional, if not a little loose now. If anything, at least he's no longer squealing from being moved. Plus, (unlike a certain long-haired simian I know of,) I can still switch his arms no problemo. Broken figure? Yep. Still functional? I guess so..? Still really bad QC (and engineering) on Tamashii's end. They should really find somewhere other than Vietnam to outsource figure production to, as the Vietnamese figures tend to have much lighter plastic with tighter joints, which is not a good balance and leads to breakages. |

Did it go back on in the end or did it completely sheer off the peg!?

yes it broke completely. the 'joints' were very stiff , almost 'frozen' i turned the biceps few times and it cracked . I didn't even use much force. Fortunately, i'll get another one for free

Once a joke always a joke. That's Tamashii Nations Quality for ya.
I knew the piss poor QC on Jiren was a result of the manufacturer shift. Dollar Store plastic and stiff joints is never a good mix.

I did notice the joints on my Bardock were extremely stiff when I opened it. I guess I'll have to try and remember to be extra careful when positioning in future.

That's the thing with Figuarts nowadays. The QC has been on a downward spiral for the last two, three years and Tamashii has not cared whatsoever. |
