    Ouch. That’s really unfortunate, this is why I was concerned a while back about such large areas of clear plastic.

    No idea, but could well be pin pushed in the factory with the clear part misaligned and getting broken. Nevertheless I'd urge everyone to be careful when transforming that particular joint - during rotation of that joint when you are extending the lower leg out, that small hinge is the only connection between the lower leg assembly and the rest of the figure, so it could be easy to accidentally apply some force or twist the wrong direction, especially since according to the videos I've seen, you need to pause that rotation half way, while it is still unsupported, to perform the knee twist.

    That said, the list of MPs with painted clear plastic parts is probably longer than the list without, and we don't usually have any issues, so I'm not super concerned but will handle with care.

    Is this the transparent part that is broken? Seem like it is broken during the installation in factory. IMG_20220628_193130.jpg

    Guys, I saw a person on Twitter who made a stress mark on his Shouki MP, I think they passed the image here as well.

    and I hope to have all the Members, but I see that Shouki is almost all transparent plastic, it terrifies me, I only hope that Getsuei and Yukikaze, my favorites of the 3 that have been shown, will not have the same luck either, although I do not think so

    TRUE?

    DHL says my Shouki should be here Friday. I'm quite excited despite the clear plastic kerfuffle.

    Imagine feeling so entitled to think that everything in the world should be immediately available to you.

    Whirl and RB JP version had minimal tampos while the international version which was released earlier, had those laminate decals. It must have been a regional sales decision (I did secure those international version decals for my JP Whirl.) Now we have that unification model that all sides of the Pacific and Atlantic have the same version.:(
