    Here's the pictures:

    My brother had a feeling that it was stuck, and that when I tried to move it, the force of the move placed itself onto the stick holding the leg. And then it snapped. That, and the current temperature of the air softened the plastic.

    Stupid freaking Texan heat!!

    It looks like the leg just came off the balljoint...unless Gils doesn't have balljoints for hips.

    Dremare, clearly you don't deserve Figuarts. I think you'd be happier with a toyline more your speed, like the Dragon Knight figures. :lol

    Dremare just needs to learn how to treat his figures with more care, that's all.

    Yea, thanks for the insults, you guys. REALLY helps my self-esteem getting these things.

    Look, I can't buy these figures all the time either, in fact, these are my first two SHFs. IXA is lucky, because I could fix his arm. Gills, I might have to buy an ENTIRELY NEW ONE, because the damn stick holding the balljoint broke, and the only way to fix it is to glue it in and never play with it again, which defeats the entire purpose of action figures. And knowing me, I like to play with my toys.

    And like I said, the heat must've soften the damn plastic, and I used too much force to move the leg.

    Protip: self-esteem and what toys you own have absolutely nothing in common.

    Besides, those Dragon Knight figures are kinda cool, like R&M Lite. Would've helped a ton if Venosnaker was released.

    Yea, actually, I looked at the DK toys before. They didn't really appeal to me.

    I never once found those Dragon Knight toys, ever...even when I went to the states last summer, I still didn't find them there.

    I think it's understandable for Dremare to have problems with Figuarts breakage. I've heard various quality control issues with them. Heck - My Urataros STILL has a loose ankle preventing him from standing (yeah, the "fix" for it wore off...)

    But to chime in on the new KR show; Really? I mean, Os sounds nice, but Regulus seemed so much more awesome. But who knows, I'll probably grow to like it.

    I like Japan's mentality of writing down numbers and saying "No, say it like THIS!" :lol 

    I've BARELY seen them. When I do it's usually just the human versions of Dragon Knight and Wing Knight. I guess this shows us how well normal people in a KR toyline would sell.

    Argh, I just need to find a way to fix it. And I don't know how without permanently gluing the damn leg back into it!

    I never found Dragon Knight toys in stores either. They were mainly found at TRU and I rarely ever get to one. Didn't stop me from getting most of them!

    Still looking for Wing Knight's bike and Magnugiga (he'd look cool next to Hulkbuster IM) if somebody can oblige.

    It doesn't help when the figures look NOTHING like the actors themselves!

    Case in point:
    [​IMG]

    If it weren't for Dark wing being there, could you even tell that it's suppose to be Len?
    I know that Project BM did come out with figures of the human versions of the Riders...

    Off the top of my head, I know Tsukasa, Phillip, Shotarou, Hibiki, Takeshi Hongo, and Wataru had one...I wonder how well those sold?

    Wataru specifically bares a very close resemblance to his actor:

    Ahh, there's also Souji.

    [​IMG]

    These figures look impressive, but the price totally kills it. D: I'd go for a Souji and Hibiki if they didn't cost an arm and a leg.

    I think there's also one of Tachibana (Hongo's mentor from the Showa era), which is awesome. He comes with a pipe and everything.

    I don't know, but looking back at it, it's probably because I made a mistake of not moving the leg properly when I tried his Rider Kick....
