    Congratulations, @Lttr Prssd. I really want to find one of these little Frankies. He's pulling off his best Elvis impersonation.

    He's definitely a cool little dude. He has a bit of a production issue, but I think I fixed it well enough to not be overly peeved about it. The two pieces don't fit together well, and the male part was so folded up it actually split (or was cut intentionally) to accommodate the overage. I checked with Mark Nagata and his was the same way.

    This is the first I've heard of it. Good thing you investigated that divet. Who knows how far the tear would have gone had you not taken the stress off it. I know that must've been a bit disappointing, but at least it was an interior issue and one that you think you got a handle on... Besides, Frankenstein's been known to need some surgery from time to time. ;)

    That was my major fear, that the split would continue straight on down his behind. Pretty sure he'll be okay now, as long as I stop fiddling with it. Gotta get my hands on some other Frankies now. I remember being thoroughly confused and enthralled by the movie when I saw it so many moons ago.Don't think I've seen it since I was a kid but it made a lasting impression.

    I was super bummed that I didn't find a single Cojika Toy kaiju at Super Festival.

    This one is my favorite so far. So fun in-person. Probably good that way... aftermarket prices make it hard to actually collect this stuff, haha still the newest version is kind of sexy.

    Same thing for mine, but that's not a big deal. I had not noticed it from the outside and I had to open it to check when I read your post.

    This is my favorite sculpt from RxH since the old days, the blue is really nice. I almost pulled the trigger on the new silver on black with yellow eyes. Really liked the eyes but I'm only going to collect one of each sculpt so I'll wait for a clear-color/painted to come out (hopefully green). I can't make the same mistake where I ended up with a whole shelf of just Chaos Fighters lol.

    Yeah, I'm approaching it the same way...and I like this sculpt the most since the new format took hold--hone borg coming in second. I just want one of each but if he does another (colorful) classic gojira colorway, I'll have to give in.

    Only reason I found out about it is that he came apart pretty easily when I was first looking him over. I noticed the fold, then the split/cut and thought, "Well, I don't want it to continue splitting." I contacted Mark Nagata about his, and to see if he had any suggestions. Then I just figured I'd take off some of that extra vinyl. Fits together much better now, there's no pressure on the split, and he doesn't come apart any easier than he already did.

    Big thanks to Mark for helping me get one of these gals from SuFes! Fell in love with this sculpt when first seeing it, really timeless to me. :)
