Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
dust? in your closet? the great arnval and mighty strarf collect dust *nearly loses conciesness at the thought* your kidding right? [/quote]
Of course I am! I'm a huge Strarf fanboy, and I've been driving myself insane with anticipation for these two.
They shall live on my desk, as close to me as possible, until such time as I can work them into my comic :p[/quote]
ok, LOL, i though you were but it still freaked out a little, ive been told im a spaz LOL XD
i really messed up the quotes here so this probably doesnt make much sense

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
MINE FINALLY CAME!!!! im so excited, but my arnval mk2's leg keeps falling off, from the hip and not the thigh were it was intended to pop off, but i still really like her, is there anything i can do to fix this and maybe tighten the joint? exact opposite with strarf,her big armor legs are to tight but thats easilly fixed, they are super awsome!!!

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
Actually, i noticed that my girls' legs like to pop off at the ball joint, too. None of my other Shinki have ever had that happen. It's easily fixed, but there are some things that leave me wondering about the QC on these two... Apparently there was one report of a Strarf that didn't come with a chest piece... But I digress. The legs haven't come off of mine since I popped them back into place the first time, so I'm not terribly concerned. Just give it a bit of pressure and it should stay in there pretty well.

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
i did use pressure to put it back in but her left leg still falls off if im posing her and shes moved to much, and its pretty loose so her leg hangs kinda,Hylian Pirate wrote:Actually, i noticed that my girls' legs like to pop off at the ball joint, too.

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
Yay! Finally got them after almost 2 weeks of delay in Customs... I'm glad that there wasn't any issue with the figures like some Japanese bloggers had.

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
maybe you could try using those Tamiya cement or a normal stationery glue (do NOT use super glue), apply a layer of glue on the extruded part (the 'male' part where you're gonna stick it into the hole with), wait for it to dry before assembling. the layer of glue is just acting as a buff to thicken the 'male' parts.star wrote:i did use pressure to put it back in but her left leg still falls off if im posing her and shes moved to much, and its pretty loose so her leg hangs kinda,Hylian Pirate wrote:Actually, i noticed that my girls' legs like to pop off at the ball joint, too.

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
I was wondering if anyone knows if these will get a wider release.
I was just looking at these stop motion animations on flikr...
Also ... if anyone knows... is it still possible for a proxy service to order the bundle (both figures and game) ?

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
I THINK the set is still available. I dont see any 'Sold Out' signs, anyways.
Shouldnt hurt to send an email to your proxy and have them check to see if they can order it before you send them money.

Re: Arnval and Strarf Mk 2
Oh well....
The proxy service replied saying both these and Altines are "sold out in the market and only available in Yahoo Japan Auction".
I'm guessing this is a little too expensive for plastic ... as my wife would say.
Has anyone ever done this ... proxy bid on yahoo Japan ?
I was disappointed because their home page has these figures at the top of their "new items" list. But as they wrote, the web page hadnt been updated in a while....http://www.e-toyjapan.com/
