    Have the ratchets in Getsuei's knees worn down a lot on anyone else's copy? mine have become pretty loose and there's visible powdery debris around the joints which I assume is plastic dust

    Personally, I'm just willing to wait for a ko if there'll be any. I don't do this very often but I'm not going to stress out over a fact that I invested 700 bucks in a set that may be broken out of the box. At least 4P companies are providing replacement parts...

    Its a weird design, the inner side of the leg is a kind of ratchet, so when it bends it feel ratcheted, the actual part rotating is a friction joint.

    That is the way I am rapidly leaning. I may just enjoy shouki as a one off and get kos if they make them or a mainline one

    My replacement Yukikaze has arrived, and the first thing I did was transform it to check if the knee joints were broken. I'm happy to report that they came out intact. However, his right clavicle joint droops down whenever I move it, which was not an issue with the cracked knee figure.

    You just apply for a refund, ship it to them, then they'll refund the cost of the item + shipping to you once they receive it. Or you could buy another, and if it has issues as well you can frankenstein it with your old one, then apply for a refund and return the crappy one.

    As a Dr. Yellow fan I can’t decide what would make the most sense for a repaint. Shouki? Yurikaze? It was Yurikaze on the original repaint, but the 200 series Dr. Yellow had green accents instead of blue. The 0 series, what Shouki is, had blue accents, but then it wouldn’t be the leg bot. These are the important questions.

    You can ask them to look at Yukikaze, if its cracked, its cracked out the box. Getsuei really isnt an issue, more of a transformation thing. there were some issues when people got him first in hand, but those kind of stopped pretty quickly
