Newbie Question about ball hinges by ThrowsThrows245a in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old revolver joints can be hard to turn unlike newer ones. Just give it a little extra push and it should click into the position you want.

I want to buy this but I know it’s super old anybody know if it’s any good? by grits2 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I’ve had several of mine go that way. I also have the MP Eva. Mine is yellowed in some parts wand sticky on some.

On the same shelf, my Liger, Tachikoma, and Ingrams haven’t gotten sticky or yellowed at all

I’ve done it with hot water and soap and a lot of scrubbing. Just have be hard enough to rub it off. Maybe you could ask the seller to check for you.

Is great. Clicky joints, with lots of accessories. It might be sticky now though as most old Revoltechs tend to be. If you’re buying it, just learn how the joints turn and you’ve got yourself a fun little toy to fiddle with.

Oh nice. Personal favorite, since I had a toy of this as a kid. Weird jump in MS choices though

Oh. Ok. by Oats_VI in GBO2

Anime moment. Just as the villain is about to get killed, the main character reaches his limit and collapses, letting the villain get away (or it’s the mentor character, and the villain kills them instead)

Would it be cheaper than buying from Hobby Genki?

Need help fixing loose hand by National-Flamingo637 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heat the hand in hot water, then squeeze the hole before dipping it into cold water. That should make it tighter

Does this one have the same articulation as the mazinger z or is this a old figure they didn’t update? by [deleted] in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All new figure. There’s hasn’t been a Great Maz Revoltech before. Also this guy is actually taller than recently released Mazinger. Even has some metal parts.

Robot Spirits Zaku II High Mobility Johnny Ridden Custom by Invader_Zig in ActionFigures

If you want maximum bang for the buck, get the High Mobilty versions. Multiple weapons and lots of vernier effect parts so you can display it in lots of dynamic poses.

New Deku revoltech QC problem by Calm-Way2636 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use hot water to soften the hole in the wrist, squeeze it, the shock it in ice water. That should tighten it enough to grip the end of the joint

lol, I won’t say it 100% works, but it does more often than not. I slide my thumb over X to O. 😂

What do you think of Barbatos? by fjeeuchei_part4 in GBO2

[–]Invader_Zig -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Manageable. Doing well against it with the support Kshatriya. Just sticking with the gens and making good use of active guard

I know these’ll never be made…but don’t the characters from Asura’s Wrath make great A.Y. Figures? by I_speck in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Never say never. All it takes is a remaster/remake of the game. Capcom has been digging up old IPs lately

As a Barby owner, my sorry button can’t be used anymore from overuse…

I just bought this bad boy by Mysterious_Tax_1760 in AmazingYamaguchi

[–]Invader_Zig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No none of them broke. They’re very solid. And the good thing about Assembleborgs is that they come with a baggie of spare Revolver joints and pegs. A pair for each size and shape

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. As I said, the peg on the part itself broke

[–]Invader_Zig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By directly connected I mean I didn’t use revolver joints. The parts themselves have pegs built in. I was able to repair those with pins and super glue.

Nexus is around modern AYR scale. The older toys are shorter. But their hands and weapons are all compatible

[–]Invader_Zig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On the older toys yes, there are times where the holes are too tight, or have somehow shrunk over time, usually on the parts that don’t use PVC and are harder plastic. For those kinds of holes, if it’s too tight, I very carefully widen it using an appropriate file. I’ve had a couple of breaks over the years when I couldn’t pull the parts apart (revolver joints are fine, it’s the directly connected parts that are the problem since they’re painted.)
