    I had an item shipped from ShowZ the day before they supposedly shipped Capone and one a week after and both arrived within 10-11 days, so make of that what you will. I have a conspiracy theory about what's happening, but it's 99% likely wrong so I don't want to share it and spread libelous rumors.

    It's funny about the package size, because I didn't have anywhere near this much of a wait when it was my WeiJiang Ultima Guard. To be fair, that wasn't right after Black Friday or CNY, but definitely not 38 days without a tracking update.

    Is anyone else having problems getting these 2 car limbs to stay connected? Very odd that they didn't have a better plan.

    Montana stays planted on mine but not so much for Henry.

    Here's how I connected Henry. It's flush but still not that secure.

    It's already pegged in at the back.

    If I can clamp the two pieces together inside the leg then it will be more secure.

    Depending on who you get them from and what shipping you pay yes they match up in price, or it can be a difference in like $20 but it shouldn't be like that lol Blackarachnia is an $80-90 figure in my opinion and Bee 2.0 is a $60-75 tops.. Takara needs to rethink their game or they're going to be lost in the flood of affordable MP alternatives

    From the numerous reviews and posts made by those who own them, I think I can safely say he does not.....

    You may be right, I got an adapter for Montana but still not much help for him. Hopefully there will be better way to combine these.

    Received my Capone over Christmas, but only got opening the box yesterday - initial impressions are that I like the transformation of Capone, although his head is super loose & floppy, and I'm happy enough overall - but the Attila trailer has been so disappointing that I'd be attempted to abandon the set altogether. Neither hip will rotate down & a hip-skirt fell off. I don't know how to fix it, & dubious WD40 would be enough as black plastic section that houses the ratchets looks fit to blow apart any time I try to move the hips up or down (& rotating the hips 180 like some others have suggested above doesn't do a thing on my copy).

    Keep raising, rotating, and repositiong those hip joints. It is a mission and they are hard to move... but twisting them 180 degrees and putting them back in position will allow you to balance the hips in a perpendicular 90 degree stance.



    I thought the hip joints on my combined Menasor frame were frozen and locked. Tried oil and even a lever to help bend at the base joints. Nothing worked until I followed the video. Also mark the hips with a sticker as it is easy to get confused at to which is the front and back sides. The hips or internal hip gears move in unison I think as well.

    Well, sent in a request for them to look into where mine is. Hopefully will get a better response than just "its in customs".....

    Yeah, tried that, they’re now ‘locked’ & won’t move in any direction People that are a fab hand at working at figures probably wouldn’t see massive issue with this, but it is to me. Can’t even transform trailer back to fit figure back in box

    Sorry to hear that. Might be time to disassemble and evaluate the cause.

    Has anyone who ordered from Show.z received theirs yet? I know due to the size of the book it might taking a little longer. But it is going on 4 weeks now.
