Currently she's sitting as my all time favorite release this year, right above Sanji! Just like you mentioned at the end she's super fun to pose and has the accessories to back it up. The only figure in my collection so far that I can't put down so that speaks wonders LMAO. Just for the fun factor alone I can forgive the messy finish and the off likeness (though it's still 100x better than Figma IMO).
For me, it's mostly the finish that detracts. And maybe they could've done the shoulder articulation better. Otherwise, she's really good. As for her likeness? I think it's still better than the Figma's. Neither are 100%, but the SHF at least captures the spirit of Power. Good figure, but I am considering taking the matte spray to her.
wow, u already have figma power ? i'm still waiting for the price drop 🤣 i dont understand, from the photos i saw figma has the better likeness... i guess i'll just see when i get her on hand.
i read some people use silicon oil. but i cant find the right one, so i use regular motor oil 5w30. it's great so far. you can also use tamiya grease that's designed for plastic parts. there are 2 types of swivel joint. 1. ball & socket (like shf sanji or sentinel miles), 2. peg (like marvel legends) i read some collectors use something like kiki joint tightener ( i dont know if the spelling is correct ) if u're in the US. but i dont have it in my country, so i usually detach the thigh, then stuff some very thin strands from cottonball in the socket. some shreds of toilet paper also work. make sure it's thin, and add layers as necessary until it gets traction. do not overstuff it, as the socket might crack from too much pressure (like naruto kid's butterfly joint) good luck & thx for the visit 😁🙏
honestly, there's always risk when disassembling figuarts. they're just not built as friendly as figmas or buzzmods. even the wobbly BFTF trunks' thigh peg might snap if you're not careful. 😢 needless to say, unless it bothers you much, i'd suggest against detaching the thigh. but if u decide to do it anyway, remember to dip her in hot water firsthand. as a rule of thumb : 1. dont use boiling hot water. 2. dip her for 30 seconds max. 3. repeat. 4. just be patient & do it slowly. g'luck friend 😁
