OH SNAP!!

GASP O_o


*Runs off to get superglue*
Protip: If you're building HGFC Fuun Saiki, please sandpaper the front legs' ball joint quite a bit, it is extremely tight and it's a plastic-to-plastic connection (absolutely no polycaps on Fuun Saiki).

  1. wha....no wonder almost all the pre-release review of HGFC Master+ Fuunsaiki got they Fuunsaiki's joint modded to the aftermarket ones

  2. Yeah, if you want the Fuun Saiki to be more than a huge piece of slightly movable accessory, you need to mod it.
    To be honest most of the joints like the tail and the forelegs are quite fine despite being plastic-to-plastic, but that front leg balljoint is just a no-no ;^^.
    Oh, and the hoof is unmovable, so I think it's gonna be pretty hard to make all the hoof flat on the ground without making the position look kinda weird.

  4. Oh dear... When this type of situation happens, it really dampens the spirits a little...

    Yeah, I actually do most of the work (lining, painting) during the first build because I broke a part from my 3rd kit when trying to disassemble it, which made me afraid of disassembling any kit ever since ;^^.
    Never expected it to happen on joint's though. I basically sweared out loud in the middle of the night.

    @Gundam Gunso:
    To be honest, this one actually kinda did the opposite for me, because it was 2 AM and I was just going to sleep after fiddling with it a little bit.
    When it broke, I lost all drowsiness and actually stayed awake until 4 AM hahaha.
    And now I had an headache ;=_=.
