The best way to get ahold of replacement parts for your order at showz is to go thru their after sales portal on their website. You enter in your order number, product, and contact info and then they will be in touch.

If you randomly pm or message, they will do their best but it's more likely to get lost in the shuffle.

Just my 2 cents but that's what's worked for me..

 

I have tried that method and my request got lost somehow. You can mail [email protected] if that ever happens

 

Finally, someone repainted him like I envisioned!! This is what I hope a metallic repaint looks like!!!

 

And how might I do that kind sir?

 

Well report from V 2 owners seems to be ok. I got five guys who bought the V 2 version.. enjoying it very much.

They said they hardly felt the need to refer to the PDF fixes file  

 

Thanks for that input. I might try my luck again then.

 

I think that what really matters about this figure is its plastic, especially the one used internally for the joints of the legs, if this plastic remains the same, we are talking about the same figure that can hardly be touched. I will wait for another Ko or another future figure

 

Took him out today to test the joints out a little bit. Really fun.

 

I perfectly agree. I should wait for another one too but I don't know if I am strong enough.

 

How do you feel about the hips ratchets? Do they still feel solid as new?

 

So far. I either store or display my figures so they don't get a lot of play time out of me. I'll keep a look out as time passes. Still he seems to still be holding up. How quickly did yours break?

 

To add, i never owned the Batch 1 so i don't know what the internals look like. Chances are the ratchet might be the same...

 

Pretty fast. I tweaked him a lot as I was trying to find fixes and apply them while writing the PDF. But I didn't play a lot with him.

 

I haven't seen many others complain about that joint for batch 1. You sure you're not an isolated issue?

 

I am pretty sure I am yes. And that's why I am very tempted to get another. I just love that mold.

 

You still win if you wait for a professional review. You also win if you get this one now. Meaning, you know what to look for.

 

I have a hard time believing no one serious has reviewed the second batch yet. Even chinese review would be nice as some understand chinese here.

 

I'll see if I can find one.

 

I did a little asking around and checking for myself and discovered that there isn't a new review out yet. I'll keep looking. Thing is, if there were one, it would have already been on YouTube by now as Chinese reviewers post there occasionally.

 

Nope not isolated. Mine is first batch too and now the left leg hip ratchet is like a ragdoll
