    I never had any particular problems with it, at least til a 3 foot fall onto tile. Admittedly my fault also. I think the core design is fine but the way the door and the floor plate piece rotate separately is deceptive, and I could definitely see breaking it.

    Here's a picture of my breakage. Disregard the glue slime though.

    It's been almost exactly 3 months since I got in contact with XTB and they delivered! My boy is whole again.

    Great news!

    Both Skids and Harold are awesome figures. Happy I picked up Skids.

    Thanks guys! He's one of my favorite figures for whatever reason and getting him all fixed up is quite a joy. :D

    They gave him the replacement part. The latest pics show the fix on both sides--he's just holding his old broken door.

    not sure if anyone already replied, but both Savant and Taiho have a hard time keeping those upper arms tabbed in when you display him. I find it mildly annoying but as they do hold in a pose I’m fine with it..

    It honestly might be worth it just removing the clasps entirely. Certainly not ideal since it’s a good look and concept, but would remove the hinderance.

    Just got Herald on Ali Express for 74.88 CAD or 59.87 USD. That’s after shipping. Pretty darn good deal.

    Maybe it's using a different name, the cheapest I found on Aliexpress is still above 80 USD

    I just placed the order and now it’s temp out of stock. Maybe they were just trying to get rid of the stock? We’ll see. I’ve ordered from Toy House Store lots and they’re reliable so we’ll see.

    Herald is fantastic, and worth the original price.
