I'm glad you guys said something about SDCC Gohan's arm problem, I was completely unaware of that but it's good to know considering SDCC Gohan is next on my DBZ list. Any solutions for fixing this kind of problem? How does the forearm pop out? Is it a loose peg or what? |

Nah I honestly hate the paint job of the manga version, Gohan looks waaay too pale and the colors of his gi look very dull, plus he wouldn't match up with my SDCC Piccolo  |

I do prefer the skin shading on the SDCC version but I like the lighter gi on the original. I'm the same with Piccolo. I would love the pink scales but on the manga version. If I had any skills I would paint mine but I just know I would stuff it up lol.

I had some problems with Perfect Cell's elbows popping off easily, might have just been mine. I decided to just pop both off and apply some glue, since the knees appear to be glued on, which fixed it.

Yea, sort of. It was like an almost key hole shaped notch that just slides into a key hole shaped hole on the the elbow joint. |

It is such a shame that all these SDCC Gohan figures are having this problem. I think I remember someone saying it might be caused my mold degradation.

That's the usual excuse/reason.

Hey guys was wondering if anyone has ever had an issue of a peg breaking off a ball joint. It didn't happen to any of my dbz figures but it happened to my sh figuarts sailor moon figure. The peg on the right wrist ball joint broke off today. It broke so easily too, I knew it wasn't very strong but I guess I just used too much pressure causing it to snap. I can probably doctor it but I'm not sure on how it will result. Might not be pose able ever again. It's really disappointing, I've only had the figure for a week. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there a way I can contact Bandai or Bluefin and get a new bicep piece or anything? Sorry this isn't exactly dbz related but it is sh figuarts related and this is the only sh figuarts forum that I know of... Here's a picture of what I'm talking about: Attachment Deleted |

As far as I know, they don't offer replacement parts.
Where did you buy it? Perhaps they would offer you a refund/exchange?

I haven't had any joints break yet but I am worried about the head peg on my Figuarts Monkey D Luffy. There really isn't much plastic connecting the peg to the joint. All the DBZ ones seem to be made out of a stronger plastic too compared to other Figuarts figures.
