Something rather… Unfortunate had happened…
orz… Seriously.
I was twisting gently like normal which this had happened. It just gave.
The infamous transparent joint. The bane of any figma owner.
Not even the recently released B*RS figma isn’t safe, I’ve heard.
orz
Two guests?
Subaru is appalled.
Surprise guest.
orz…..
Sorry Teana, something more pressing had happened…
OI~! Haruhi~! WHAT YOU”RE DOING~!?
*Max Factory
Ho?…
*shakes fist* ONORE Max F.~! Use a stronger material, please~!
What to do next? Go out and looking for a pin vise. orz
Noooooo~~ not Marisa! T_T
and I though me breaking my RG’s beam rifle peg was bad enough.
Good luck on finding and doing the pin, I’ll be double careful next tiume I play with my roommate’s Figma.
…
Thanks, what I need now is a pin vise or a 1mm drill bit.
If the figma has a transparent joint, it’ll break (Subaru does not, opened her already).
Though Revoljoints won’t break in half, the newer ones in QB lineup can still break in pieces, literally. One of my joint in Revoltech Menace just got dismantled, as in the parts which made up the joint is seperated into 3 pieces. So no figure is safe from bad joints. ^^;
Whut?… You’re the first case I’ve heard about that. Could the pieces be assembled back into one? If yes, that’s good, else… orz.
Agree on your last point there…
p.s. Haruhi’s torso joint is flims…
Haruhi: I HEARD THAT~!
MEDIC!
That’s pretty painful. Hope you can get her patched up, somehow.
And to think, I’ve pulled my Saber in half several times…
Medic indeed. ๐ฆ
Will, as figma parts aren’t sold here…
Saber’s safe (methinks) but not B*RS…
Woah! I had no idea figma joints were THAT breakable :S
Now you know…. sadly… ๐ฆ
orz
Oh my man….my heart aches seeing the joint breaking down like that…considering she is one of your fave figures of the moment..
Possible to dig out the old joint and replace it with something else like those left over gunpla joints instead?
Very… orz
As digging the old joint and use gunpla ones are out of the question as figma aren’t meant to be taken apart at the torso and there’s no gunpla joint that I have that has the same design she’s using…
It had to happen to your latest collection =_=
Wonder if you can ask dino to find joints
Will try but somehow I’m not to sure on how exactly to yank out the halves that’s stuck…
ouch.. i feel you bd77.. i had a few broken joints before too.. hopefully you can fix it with some drill, cement and plastic rod.. gonna be some mod!! i pray for marisa zeeee….. get well soon!!! we’ll miss you!! =D
Thanks…
What I need now (at the moment) is a 1mm drill bit and a (hard) metal wire to joint back the halves…
how about brass bars? those little ones about 2mm?
2 mm is pretty thick, 1mm is enough
Now I feel like replacing all my Figures joints with metal!
Aww poor lil beam(hell)spammer, hope you get fixed soon^^
Actually, Chubbs is kinda right there. When I was building the (still) not finished Astray Figma, I kinda played around with the first failed figma body, and popped up the torso joint and replaced it with Exia’s feet to leg ball joint, and it fits!(I’ll send an image as soon as possible…
Goodluck with drilling process
Thanks… Was very unexpected…
A picture is very appreciative. =D
oh no! Quick! Brass bars! Drill! power drill! Ghostofzeon.com! Help! Wheres the pvc ball joints when u need 1??
BRS: … *ka-chick*
BLAM!
Don’t post comment while you’re driving…
Oho… A ninja get, eh?
Bewarn, B*RS also uses the same joint as Marisa for the torso.
agreed BRS has that kinda joint… uh… I popped her waist more than twice… So i better not do it again…
okay….now that’s is deadly disturbing…transparent joint..i see…clear/transparent plastic usually pretty hard and less flexible than normal plastic, and their tension point is lesser than standard plastic…
OO : Ouch…ZD, you broke mine as well right?
Me : ^^;;;
i always think that such thing will happen when it comes to plastic-plastic joint, making me to choose plastic-PC joints
@Syful power drill is too much
Mikee said exia’s feet-to leg ball joint, hmm..maybe Zoids Blox joint should fits? (maybe it will be slight larger,sanding shall help)
good luck on repairing Marisa, all the best
too bad i own no Figma, otherwise i may think on some solutions
Found the source of the problem: The socket for her waist is TOO TIGHT for the ball joint to move freely. The same case like my Daizengar and HoiHoi-san.
Nearly done with the repairs…
OMG Now I’m gonna have to be super extra careful with my figmas! T.T” *is scared* even BRS has that joint?! Gahh!
Hope Marisa gets well and gets fixed soon ^^
Since you have B*RS, one word for you: beware.
Thanks, dude.
osteoporosis!!! XD
aww man that is painful to look at ๐ฆ hope she will make a full recovery after surgery… even though i still think she can wreak havoc in that state. good luck dr. bd
i still prefer figma to Frauleins even thought they are more fragile, need a petition for “posable figures need metal joints!”
Recovery, yes, fully, wait and see…
Oh my…. That looks very painful….
It is… very… ugu…
That’s an unfortunate accident but nothing a pin vise, a metal rod and some super glue can’t fix! Good luck! ๐
That’s what I’m doing now. =D
Damn that sucks. Especially round the waist >< ouch!
Hopefully you can get her fixed up.
My figma Canaan suffered (still does) from a locked shoulder joint which resulted in me breaking her arm off soon as I tried to move the joint. Her arm is back on but I can't do very much with it anymore ๐ฆ
Fixed, but… orz
My friend’s Saber Alter suffers like yours, stiff shoulder joints, but nothing like a swab of WD-40 to solve it. =D
Oh geez man im sorry!
I had no idea Marisa had one of those clear joints in, which makes me wonder if Reimu does as well, she has a loose arm as it is! :c
Ouch…
Afraid she does also… Loose arm… Tried to take out and coat it with a (thin) layer of Mr Cement?
What!! Broken ToT.
Yes… TT_TT
Woah that sucks, at least now I will treat my Marisa when if I get her with extra care.
It’s good to see you simply thought to fix it rather than cry over spilled milk.
Please do, also, try to test whether yours can twist and move about the torso, if can hardly move, then your’s also suffer the same fate as mine: socket size too small.
Heh. Its’ the engineering part of me. =D
Also, I followed this maxim:
I got to mention, man, that is so totally Marisa. Even within the games people say the same thing about Marisa.
wow………that was very irritating moment ๐ฆ . I hope u can find its spare or unless u can fix it by yourself
Very painful, yes… orz
Spares? I wish~! But she’s fix now. Some what…
Oh my, I sorry to hear/read that. Poor Marisa! She’s your fav, I think, some more!
But from the comments above, it looks like you have fixed her somewhat. Hope it works out well in the end. ><
Yeah… Sadly…
Fixed and will do a post on the problem analysis and solving later on.
oooohh this is why u ask me where did I buy my pin vise :D…. havent visit blogs for a while lol…. didnt know this happened to marisa! O_o…
such a broken joint.. they should use better material.. stronger and less brittle one *sigh*
Now you know. *fires ion cannon shots at Tsuki’s pc*
It’s not about the joint material, it’s something else entirely…
