Anyone have experience tightening the joints on the Yamato 1/12 Scopedogs?  The hip ball joints in particular on my Turbo Custom have gotten very loose and I believe it is the rubber "weeping" and not providing any friction.  The wheels are doing the same thing (it's like they have a slight oily coating) although the rubber doesn't actually appear to be decaying as such.  Was planning on giving all the rubber bits a wipedown with some isopropyl alcohol but not quite sure if this will make things better or worse.

Thanks.

for tightening the hip ball joints, you can try either Kiki:

or the old reliable Future/Pledge polish:

Not sure about the issue with the wheels, tho, I've read  about oil/oily residue stuff mentioned from before. 

Could be very different from the loose hips joints.

P Bandai high grade on the way. I couldn’t read what scale on the pics at tag hobby 

4AD0ECED-5899-4E32-91C0-702725D65D1F.jpeg

Maybe 1/35 scale?

Plamax looks bigger and they don't seem as small as the old 1/48 Actic Gear stuff from Takara.

a non-scale ARTPLA Scopdog Turbo

"Non-scale" is an industry-standard abbreviation that means "We're not concerned with accuracy, we're not interested in consistency, and we're perplexed by arithmetic." 🙄

Looking a bit more into this hg scopedog and I might pass. Seems that you just get the Scopedog and standard rifle. If you want an opening cockpit with pilot figure and optional hands with fancy effect parts, that’s an extra purchase at the exclusive store. If you want the weapon pack and standing figure, that another extra web exclusive purchase. I’m guessing the full thing would be around $60 or more after all that.

I might just stick to wave kits and maybe the max factory ones

Are these the same as the previous release versions with new finish? The warrior one appears to have a few new accessories, but I have mine boxed up after the move, so I can’t compare these to the original releases

Thanks. That’s kinda what I figured I have the original ones, but these do look good. I’m not sure if I want to try and get them or not even though that warrior one is pretty tempting with all the extra stuff.
