    Did you ever get this sorted out?

    I just got my Deadlock and Drift from ActionRobo (bought during their Spring Sale).

    And mine has two left hip pieces installed.

    Not sure what do :/

    I had a very similar problem with my iron factory Prowl that came with two right legs. Which I purchased from an Chinese eBay seller.

    I was able to contact the seller who contacted iron factory. IF sent the part to the seller who was able to get the other leg shipped to me. AR should be able to help.

    It's just the hip piece, but still disheartening.

    Since it didn't look like it effected transformation at all, I wasn't going to bother trying to get parts shipped from China -- but sent them an email anyway with a link to this thread -- because you can't upload photos on their contact-me page.

    I did indeed. I phoned Kapow Toys about it and follow their instruction on how to send it back. After days of waiting, I rang them back and they told me that the replacement figure would arrive in a few days.

    And it did, now I have a flawless (from what I can tell) Norimune.

    Thanks for getting back to me. Hopefully AR can help me out also.

    Not the most horrible thing since I got these guys for steal, and it doesn't affect transformation; but I'd rather one that is assembled correctly.

    Guess I'm not the only one who got stuck with a misassembled figure. Thank goodness Bababobo was able to get a replacement arm.

    But seriously, what happened with this? Where's Iron Factory's usual quality?

    Hope future releases are better.

    Got mine a few days back from Action Robo's sale. Fun bots for the price I paid, but I'm glad I didnt pay full price. The alt modes are even lamer than I thought. They'll stay in bot mode anyway.

    I kinda like the alt mode on Deadlock. The guns make it better.

    Looks like Kuma got a misassembled hip too. I ordered these guys from the action robo sale and now I'm waiting with trepidation to see what might be wrong with my set.

    Yea. I didn't even think twice about it because I'm used to companies who have just used same parts for each side.

    I don't know whether or not I even want to be bothered trying to get a replacement.

    I'd say go for it. No harm in trying.

    Are there any bonuses with the twin pack or is it just the same content as the two individual packs combined?

    Ordering both will get you two individual boxes - no additional content. Most retailers cut the price a bit if you get them together however.

    For anyone who owns Muramasa, how easy would you say it is to remove his head? And can the shoulder parts be rotated down so they are flush with his back or do they always jut out?

    Not sure on the head. His shoulder bits can be rotated backwards 90 degrees to lay flatter just like Norimune's.
