Make or Break # 1: S.H.Figuarts Wizard Flame Style
Just a little something new I'll be adding for the blog; the Make or Break section will be where I will post about different problems I've encountered with my own collection of figures either to inform fellow collectors about some stuff regarding a figure or a general inquiry from yours truly so that you, the readers, can help me in some of my hobby problems; the very first would be a short advisory regarding S.H.Figuarts Kamen Rider Wizard Flame Style.

Quality Control Issues
Well, guess whose hands are these?
So, the first random entry for the month focuses on QC issues.
Well, the reveal the figure in the pic, it's the hands of figma Sakuya Izayoi, where I've encountered my most recent factory creation defect. Apparently, my Sakuya is lacking the right hand you use to clip up the throwing knives that come along with her... What happened instead was that I got a duplicate of the fist right hand instead of the one supposedly present. It could've been other hands, but unlucky me really had to lose one of Sakuya's trademark hands, well, I still have the left but that feels so incomplete and annoying. So, what did I do? As you can see above, the other fist looks like it has a little bit of space in between two of the fingers, well, I tried to make some spaces with the duplicated hand but I actually failed in the end.
Hey hey hey, why didn't I just return it to where I got it, right? The problem is... I got this freshly new from a friend some time back in 2010, but I never opened it immediately due to the fact that I don't open things unless I pay for them completely first, so, my friend just gave it me that time so he wouldn't have to carry it around and I, on the other hand, only managed to pay for Sakuya completely last month which explains the lateness of opening her up and failure of being able to somehow return it.
This wasn't really the very first QC issue I've encountered as there's also some problems before with my Nendoroid Ryoko, but I let that pass. Anyway, you can see what's wrong with the pic below.
So, did you notice it? If not, look clearly at the left arm, it's just another right hand, twisted backwards so it'd look like the left hand. Clearly, these things really are annoying, likewise, I have a friend who bought a wingless S.H. Figuarts Unkh just last month. These QC issues really give much pain to some unfortunate collectors, and what's more is that usually you see these problems when you already carefully play with it all and thus, some times, local shops won't even replace these things due to a lot of loopholes for the customer.
So, now... I'm left at whether I should get another Sakuya or just leave it as is. Well, there is at least the left hand but still, would it be worth the expense for just one hand or should I leave it be? In case I get another, problem is no one might buy my old one since it is a fact that it lacks a signature hand. -_-

Major Figure Fail
This is my Wave soft Xecty...
Approximately 4 months ago...
I bought Soft Xecty due to her very accurate face compared to Koto's rendition of Xecty which I find inaccurate in terms of face, next to that, the soft parts were also good, so, there... Upon buying, I loved the figure even became one of my favorites in tsuki; but not anymore...
At first, a few weeks of display was very annoying since the soft parts proves hard to clean whenever they absorb dust particles. So, after around 2-3 weeks of display, I decided to return her to her package, to avoid any more dust problems. Supposedly, box preservation won't damage the figure but yesterday, I noticed something... Unpleasant...

Actually I was really surprised, so, I immediately removed her out of the box to check if it was my imagination. It turned out to be true after all... Her supposedly "soft" parts actually expanded, making the figure really REALLY DISTORTED. Heat is probably my only answer but there isn't any direct sunlight from where she is stored. But fuck, she looks like a blob Xecty now. I think the soft material is rubber, but really this is annoying, I just wish I knew how to fix her back into shape. Wave sure did a failure at their so called soft line, and it had me crying over it since it was freaking expensive. Blob Xecty pics below...
