That's why I try to get shipments from any company OTHER than Amazon, no matter the country. They don't care about their packaging. The tiniest thing could be thrown into a box fit to protect MP44 against a hurricane, and MP44 could be tossed into a torn envelope 1 size too small. It's just chaotic.

 

I'm not fond of stickers or having to pick up a magazine for them but I really like how they break up all the blue on the chest plate/shield.

But for this item just like you, you went for AJP.

 

Hopefully tomorrow... :/

 

I did not

 

The stickers are looking good in every pic I've seen so far.

That wasn't an AJP DHL box?

 

Finally.

 

It wasn't. It was just a DHL box

 

AJP always uses DHL when they ship to me. That's automatic. Amiami on the other hand, well, I specify DHL but they Amaimi packs them good. Amazon, both USA and JP has a somewhat mix result.

 

Just an update for this - if anyone is interested for these cap fillers, I put it up on shapeways:
Mushroom Peg Cover for MPG Shouki by LTMc2h6 on Shapeways

I would have preferred to print them and ship them myself, since I could attempt to paint match them too, however my 3D printer seems to have difficulty printing out such small parts, so there are many junk prints, but I'll keep on testing that out, since shipping on shapeways seems ludicrous for such small parts... and $25 on a giftcard to open up a store.

 

Got shouki and they're a pretty good figure my only issues are the arm swivels falling off easily and rotating the shoulder panels for transformation (maybe there's an easier way to transform them that I'm missing)

 

Unfortunately the arms falling off seem to be an issue for a few board members now, but the shoulder panels move pretty smoothly - I would recommend wotafa’s review part 2. His transformation back to alt mode gives a pretty good idea on how it should be done

 

ok I'll check it out, i haven't run into issues yet but the lack of clearance make me fear the paint will scratch off the panels

 

Man he really does scale pretty damn well.


Although if you do prefer the combined mode scale or something slightly more close to alt-mode scale I'd say he can be used in a CHUG display pretty well too.

 

Looks good and definitely seems like it'd work for chug which is my primary collection, but if I get him I'd feel obliged to get the entire team and I don't think I can talk myself into spending as much as it's gonna end up being on one combiner team. Maybe I'll pick them up if a sale happens or like a KO but won't be too hung up on not being able to get it at all.

 

First time seeing the blue "full power" version sticker used.

Aren't the combined mode ratchets on cw/potp stronger than this?
