SuperHobo Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 17 minutes ago, no3Ljm said: So it’s a third party practice to always have a 2nd batch release with fixes? 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.

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 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no3Ljm Posted January 13, 2020 Share 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.

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'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.

But frakk this was almost 200US. That is not acceptable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slaginpit Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
