one problem with my GFF (isa p lng kc meron ako) there are some pieces that fall when i try to move the limbs. specifically the skirt of my crossbone falls off when i move its left leg forward.
another problem with GFFs (this was posted in the old GT boards i think) was the paint job. not that there were any errors with the colors. but when the toy is painted the joints are included. and sometimes the joints are put into the sockets with the paint still wet. what you get when it dries up is a joint that doesn't move and is bound to break when forced. happend to some guy and his GP01 i think. what he did was to soak the toy in hot water to soften the paint, take the toy apart and sand the stiff joint to loosen it up.

oh yeah, forgot about this: the gasha sickness found in GFFs. when exposed to heat some elongated parts (like a beam saber or a long gun barrel) tend to bend.

I have a few to share, first with the MG Freedom. The slot that holds its beam rifle in the back skirt is a bit loose. I've had a couple of time where the beam rifle fell off during handling. Sa PG Strike naman, yung front chest panel niya tends to pop off when I try to rotate the shoulders forward. And the joints in the legs can't keep the Strike to stand upright when it's coupled with the Alie. For the PG Wing Zero, the panles in the arms also have a tendency to pop-off and the spring mechanism in in its smaller wings sometimes doesn't work. So far yung lang muna ang mga comon problems ko. I'll see if I could find some more.

2 cents on the sazabi
It's not as good as many people would think.
-There are proportion issues
-Not that articulate
-Details are ok but more would have been expected for an MG release
-Price (The box is huge, as Big as a PG although the parts would fit on a FAZZ MG box)
-Only includes the Beam rifle that was used on the first half of the OVA more would have been nice
If you love the design simply a must have ;D

Yup the Dreaded Gasha sickness Try and put it in a cool dry place na lang or try and support the end with a clear cube or something of the sort, that way it does not hang ang droop  |

ako naman yung very first Model Kit ko after collecting again HG 1/144 na MS14fs - Gelgoog Marine yung beam rifle niya na mahaba hindi niya ma grip naloloose at nalalaglag ng konti kailangan mo pa itaas para mahawakan ng maayos yung mahaba niyang beam rifle. Then when I try to experiment and recolor my Gelgoog Marine I was trying to take off the left leg under his skirt hehehe. Then when I cannot take it off I was forcing it slowly to take it off then suddenly bam it broke  man maybe it was me not the MS fault I was to careless hehehe  . But anyways thats all I could say.  |

if you're referring to the pelvic shaft that holds the ball or the ball itself, thats a fatal factory defect the kit itself notoriously has.

darn.. indi pla ako pwede magkaroon ng FIX... minsan kc mainit sa room ko e... paano na ung deep striker??? =( oo, ang deepstriker ang isa sa pinaka kawawa sa init. ive read posts before saying that the long beam rifle/cannon of the deepstriker tends to droop down in heat. pero tama un post ni lonewolf, if you could keep it in somewhere cool or have a clear tube or something else to prop up droop-susceptive parts then it'll be ok. actually, i've seem pics of the GFF FAZZ and in its package a clear tube was included to prop up ots huge beam cannon. |

MG Strike Rouge/Aile Strike Gundam: Two-part feet are almost worthless without stiffening them with Elmers Glue. Keep it on the display stand.
MG Wing ver.Ka: Antennae are bound to break because of Bird Mode transformation. They have some give in the narrower ends, but they're actually brittle.
MG Zeta Plus A1: Frequent re-posing will weaken the locking mechanism for the crotch/leg plates.

I had some minor problems with my kits. I used to play around with them but I learned my lesson well. What suffered was my Gundam Wing kits though. Compared to the newer models like the Gundam Seed line, I must say that the Wing kits arent that sturdy. Their joint tend to loosen up quickly. I must say, my Deathscythe is just months old but it already has flimsy joints eventhough I dont touch him that much. Regarding the MG's, like shuni said, the Strike feet are prone to some loosening but its ok as long as you dont over pose it. They still provide stable footing for the said model kit. (It's one of my favorites! ;D) The Zeta MG however suffered the most. Its flimsy wing binder tell it all. Its better of being fixed posed either as an MS or in Wave Rider mode. I would also say that the Freedom MG has difficulty supporting the weight of its wings. Although its not yet a problem with my kit, I can see that it will be an issue in due time. Overall, it just depends on how you take care of your kits. Although we cant avoid some defects et al, its not a problem since we can fix some of the minor flaws. |

well if theres a will... theres a pack of super glue waiting to be used ;D ezactly! superglue, the modeler's bestfriend... more kit problems: 1/144 epyon.. Loose leg joints.. flymsy feet. not much posseability, skirt keeps falling off, stupid looking transformation. 1/144 hg heavyarms custom, the hinge that holds the chest doors in place tends to break easily.. they need to be reinforced asap to avoid this. (i applied a thin layer of supahglue to stiffen it up) other bandai kits, aura battler dunbine, (renewal version) the plastic is very brittle, esp the thin blue parts.. the dark green parts, esp the sword, tends to bend when exposed to heat... |
