First for RETAIL NEUROI WITCH WHEN

Did anyone pickup Aigis in the end? Is she worth grabbing?

>>5628954
Some other anon on previous threads had her. She looked great and is larger that the polynians but I still haven't pulled the trigger. I might any day though if I get some extra cash.

I hope Yume comes in by the middle of the week. Need my robot school girl man.

>>5628151
Ordered Mel and I don't even want her anymore. Arse

>>5628972

Why not?

>>5629043
Not him but the hair is kinda dumb-looking and the design is sort of all over the place.
I still like it, it keeps growing on me.

>>5629107
I actually love her hair and it's what convinced me to get her. Still didn't preorder though....

>>5629043
Not entirely sure. I love the design but I'm not bothered about owning a lewdish robot girl anymore.

>>5629263
FInally you find out about your sexual orientation?

>>5628972
>>5629107
>>5629229
>>5629263

I don't get it. You guys don't like her, but you do? So, you like her, but regret preordering her?

Honestly, I like her look a lot. In fact, at one point, I was almost convinced I liked her better than Yume. I think I like them both pretty equally now, but the only thing I don't really care to much for on Mel is the green on her swimsuit. It sort of looks odd to me. However, I love her concept, look, and accessories.

Besides, having all the extra parts to potentially start swapping with some of the others is also nice. I don't want to miss figures in this line, just by virtue of the fact that I don't want to miss the parts/clothes/accessories and regret it down the line.

Ok when the fuck does Yume drop?
She's February on HLJ and still just sitting at "Order Stop" for me.

>>5629448

She got delayed from February to April back at like the end of January.

Thursday or Friday, in the last thread, there was a post with a pic from Daibadi's twitter that said the shipment was going through customs into Japan, and after they pass through, they get sent out to individual retailers.

So, it'll be sometime very soon. Likely within the next few days.

>>5629448
Fuck off Andrew.

>>5629346
No I like her, I'm just being all stingy with my money. I will when I find a good place to preorder her from.

>>5629448
Anon who posted the FB pics here. >>5629476 is right. Shes passing through customs right now so my guess is that maybe sometime in the middle of the week she should be getting sent to sellers then to the buyers. So be patient anon, she'll be here soon.

>>5628151
>can take off emil's goofy hat

Damnit, looks like I gotta buy more trap bots.

>>5629932

Not a trap. A shota.

Know the difference. It could save your life.

>>5629935
>it could save your life
... ~_~

>>5629346
>I don't get it. You guys don't like her, but you do? So, you like her, but regret preordering her?

I like the design but I regreat preordering for some reason. May be entirely down to enforcing stricter preorder rules on myself and knowing that I wouldn't preorder it now if it was to go up today to order.

Maybe getting her in hand will convince me I like a lewd robot girl.

Emil a cute!

>>5631458
Fuck he's cute.

I wasn't sure if I was gonna preorder him, but I gotta.

>>5631458
Bulge is there but i'm just not feeling this shota. Might look better when combined with bigger fembots.

Some anon is selling the Daibadi Aigis for $100 shipped on the BST thread if anyone wants/has the funds to buy her.

>>5632422
And as the other anon right after them posted, she can be found cheaper elsewhere.

>>5629346
>I don't get it. You guys don't like her, but you do? So, you like her, but regret preordering her?
Something about these robutts... They're very easy to fall out of love with. I wouldn't go quite so far as to call them dick buys, but they're borderline for the most part.

My Shamrock is pretty much the only toy I own that I've considered selling.

Just paid for my amiami order with Yume in it. She'll be on the way soon folks!

>>5633049
Just checked, hadn't gotten an email that it was ready for payment, but the order was ready to complete on site. Weird, but also finished the order!

>>5633049
Gah!! I haven't gotten mine so I guess mine will cone in the morning... Cant wait though! Then I can finally have the rest of my April orders ship!

>>5633073
*Come. Also this means that Emil should be going up for PO soon too according to Daibadi's FB page.

Paid for mine earlier too.

Now, the wait.

Nothing from HLJ yet. Hope it comes through tomorrow before GW starts.

I'm a bit worried because my original order got cancelled and I reordered it after a while when the order stop was gone for like brief moment. Possibility for not fulfilling my order is high...

Still waiting for HLJ to send me my payment request for Yume and for them to put up Emil for PO. The wait...it hurts...

>>5634323
I feel your pain brothah!

>>5633483
I surprisingly buy these not for the lewdness, but because they're cute and well designed, so I'm loving this. Tempted to get Mel too since she gives me a Splatoon/summer beach feel.

Just put in my PO for Emil on HLJ. They goofed on his name again and have him as Porinian Emil. Still though this means Yume is ever closer. I need her man

And now I have both grey Clover and grey Shamrock PO'd. Just started collecting toys as an adult and already I'm falling down the rabbit hole. Halp.

>>5635771
Just make sure you have a budget and that you do your beat to stay in it. That's the best advice I ever got here >_< I was at the point once where I consistently had $2-3k orders from AmiAmi and I was literally just working to buy toys. It was nice but super stressful...

>>5635905
Oh, I have the budget, lol. But up to now the most I ever spent on a figure was $40, as my adult-years collection is still small right now. I already have enough for one of them shipped, just need to lock away the rest to PayPal over the next 2-3 pay checks in increments. Aside from rent and utilities (live with folks) I pay for all my food, gas, necessities, and frivolities all while working full time with insurance. I was wondering what the new big expenditure in my newfound hobby would be, and the answer is a pair of grey robutts.

Emil is up on HLJ under another name like >>5635631 stated

Amiami did the same and called him "Emir"

>>5636509
Heres another

Are these guys from a show or something? I tried googling them but all it comes up with are the figures

>>5636540
They're not from a show but they're making some VN based off of them.

>>5636540
They are essentially fetish-bots. It didn't quite start that was as the designer did many characters before these as garage kits. Unfortunately, the fetish designs sell, or fortunately since they are well constructed figures.

The true unfortunate part comes in the form of never receiving any character from this world that the designer made aside from the niche fetish one. I highly doubt that we will ever get the large bulky robot or the sleeker human male in a jump suit, unless he comes with a bulge like the male ones have thus far.

I support the line both because I enjoy the character design and because I want more releases like his Aegis, there were many others that are quite desirable but may never happen, the most popular being Samus and Roll. Megaman to a lesser degree as he has a few figures at this point.

Anyway, I got my payment request for Yume from AmiAmi yesterday. I paid already but I am pretty on the fence about keeping her.

>>5636599
>sleeker human male in a jump suit
I don't think I've seen this one before.

>>5636599

You've got to remember that this has really only been a figure line for maybe a little over a year. It seems like kind of a start-up anyway. You can't expect dozens of figures in that amount of time.

Also, the figures are good, but a lot of people found Aegis to be too expensive, when there are cheaper options out there, and are from more well known, established lines, and they're good figures on their own.

Seems like not that many people even still know about Daibadi or the Polynians yet.

>>5636599
How study are these figs? Seen some reviews about 'em and they don't appear to be that solid.

>>5636655
This. Anon is right. The line is still in its early run so within time they could expand their roster of figures and include others from other series likebthey did with Aigis.

For right now, it seems they're working on the early Polynians that were kits before and it somewhat works in our favor IMO since it leaves us with chance to secure our own figures (and resell them, if thats what you want) but it does hinder them a bit as it is still not well established within the large toy collecting community but again that can all change with time.

>>5628972
I cant wait to get her. Clover is lonely.

Is Polynian 'clothing' just mecha components they can remove like armor or it just extensions of their body (meaning Mel, Yume, and Emil are all actually naked in actuality)?

>>5637525
>>5637527
>>5637531
How good are the joints overall? Seems like some japs are complaining about them.
http://nov.2chan.net/y/res/3515414.htm

>>5637740
They take some getting used to. They probably don't like that, or the fact that they're so prominent and not being hidden.

>>5637741
I actually like that they are so prominent and incorporated into the design instead of looking like an eyesore like most joints fucking weird notches cut out of your toy's elbow always look awkward.

Not sure if it's been said before, but Mel is open for preorder on HLJ as of now.

>>5637741
Not that. I mean if they joints are loose at all.

>>5637783
They're friction joints so over time if you mive them around alot and put them through alot of stress they may loosen and get all floppy. But with good care they'll hold up pretty well.

Still waiting on my email from HLJ for yume, anyone else or should I be worried O-O

>>5637882
No I'm in the same boat anon. Been waiting all damn week. Maybe later today? I hope at least. I have other stuff in my warehouse and I just need her to ship them all out.

>>5637882
>>5637928
>tfw amiami already shipped Yume

Hang in there, soldiers.

>>5637783
>>5637786

I repose Clover a lot, and none of her joints have gotten weak.

The arms and legs just peg on, so if you're doing some kind of extreme pose, they can sometimes pop off, but they go right back on, and stay on just fine on their own, though.

I wasn't really planning on getting the greyscale Clover and Shamrock, because I much prefer their normal colors and they won't match the other Polynians, but I'm really regretting missing out on their normal colors so I preordered them.

>>5638877
Do you know if they improved/changed the molds of the figures in someway, compared to colored ones? Didn't pick up the colored ones either, so I might pick up one of the gray ones.

Will her sandals be removable?

>This will actually be make or break on her for me.

>>5639116
None of the promotional images show her with them off, but I don't see why they wouldn't be. The naked ones have pegs on their feet for stands, I could imagine that's how the sandals go on.

>>5639116

Even if they can't, just switch the feet over from one of the other figures.

>>5639116
We had this same question asked on here a few threads ago. We agreed that they most likely wont be removable as all the promo images that show her with her accessories dont't show her with them off or show them as accessories.

>>5639116
The model kit ver. has them off if that helps.

Question for people who bought the original Clover and Shamrock figures off Amiami:

What was the shipping rate for North America, Oceania, etc? Or at least what did either figure's package weigh?

>>5639981
>What was the shipping rate for North America, Oceania, etc?

My order had both Clover and Shamrock plus Kivala. EMS was 2400 Yen to Wisconsin.

Yume by herself was 1500 Yen.

I preordered him, but totally get what you're saying. If he came in colors closer to Yume's but possibly a bit darker maybe he'd be perfect.

>>5641689
I actually like the colors they used, the earthy tones is a nice contrast from the cooler color schemes used in Yume and Mel's clothing and gear.

Still hesitant to PO Emil, though. Already have dark Clover and Shamrock ordered and don't want to blow so much money so soon.

>>5641689
Never preordered before, but if I preordered Emil now, when's the soonest I'd get messaged about a payment request? October?

>>5642004
On the release date.

>>5642004
Whenever they get them in stock. AmiAmi says November, but that's subject to change. I think all the Polynian releases so far have had their release pushed back.

I still call him Berries & Cream.

>>5644013
I've contemplated it but I haven't worked with kits yet... I'd just fuck it up.

>>5641657
Someone on MFC pointed out that he looks like a UPS employee with his color scheme and "scanner" gun.

It doesn't bother me.

Just got my Yume which is my first Polynian.
So far shes great but not sure if others have had this problem so far her ponytail was a pain to attach, her left hair/ear piece keeps falling off, left skirt attachment wont fit in the hole and when it does it pops right out, she keeps falling in half where her stomach attaches to her legs.

Not sure what to do since it makes posing and well keeping everything together a pain. Is there a way I can fix them or get replacement pieces? Also I can post pictures of the problem spots if needed.

>>5644543
>So far she's great
>Except nothing fits and she explodes into pieces if I try and pose her

Er...

So I went on a pre-order impulse and got the gray version of Clover before it wasn't available on AmiAmi anymore, and managed to also get Mel from a different site.

These better be good.

>>5644562
Yeah that pretty much sums up what I meant.
I mean she can be posed and those problems can be fixed I think...but still not a good first impression. Feels like a bought a bootlegged figma...

>>5644628
I would probably get a replacement or a refund if it keeps giving you trouble.

Also, how do the joints feel?

>>5644648
The arms are stiff and the knee joints are kind of loose so she cant keep a good standing position sometimes. Also the joint that connects her chest and stomach together doesnt have much friction so she kind of tilts a bit or slouches over a bit.

>>5644628
Sad to hear, I was a Clover early adopter and thought it was a great figure.

Funnily enough I cancelled my Yume preorder at the last second to pick up the SHF Scout Trooper. I'd never considered Daibadi might not have enough experience to make peg-in parts work well yet.

>>5644794
Yeah I already have the tanned Clover and Mel pre-ordered but this is a bad first impression.
I can tell the pegs like on the skirt accessories are a bit too big or misshaped to fit in the holes. As for the other issues not sure whats causing them and have yet to see any complaints from others.

I haven't heard or seen any other complaints about Yume. Mine should be here today or tomorrow, so I can check her out soon.

I've had Clover since she originally came out, and never had any problems with her, at least.

>>5644543
Mine's almost here, I hope that's not a problem for all the figures and you were just unlucky. As bad as that sounds.

Ill do that then because I think its fair to get a new one or parts for it with the price I paid.
>>5645257

>>5644806
There is a complaint like a few posts above yours, anon.

>>5645521
That's why I said I haven't seen any OTHER complaints. His is the only one I've seen so far.

Got Mine today

>Loose knee joints
She doesn't flop around at the knees, but it does feel lacking in friction. She holds a pose fine, though
>Hair pain in the ass to insert
Yep, but once it was in, no complaints there
>Loose torso
No problem with Mine
>Stiff arms
Elbows fill a bit stiff, but still moves smoothly. Wish the joints were this stiff at the knees, though.
>Hip plates pop off
It does feel like the pegs should be just a smidgen longer, but I've had no problems of them popping off once I got them on.

Her thighs are deliciously thick. She so damned cute, I have no complaints about her at all; I feel like I got My money's worth out of her. I'll try to do some pics this week.

>>5645693
I got mine today, but I haven't been able to open her yet. Got the box and had to head off to work. I'll open her up when I get home in the morning and take a look at her and maybe take some pics.

>>5645693
So I guess it has as much QC variation as MoMo figures.

>>5645693
Yeah the hair was a pain like I said but it is in there so won't have to worry about it anymore.

As for the arms once I moved them around a bit they got better.

As for the other problems they still remain though I think I can fix the skirt attachment not staying on by using glue which is ok with me since I see no reason to remove them. Not sure about the left ear/hair piece that keeps popping off though.

>>5645794
Honestly, that's kind of the feeling I get too. But like MoMo, there's enough strength in the originality of the designs and appeal of the robutts that QC issues are kind of worth the price to pay to help support this line.

>>5644690
I'm having basically all the same problems with mine, all her joints are either tight as hell or flopping around like a noodle. There's also random flecks of red/pink paint on some of the white sections, and a scratch on one of her legs. I'm quite unimpressed given the cost of the thing.

>>5645855
Sad to say someone else has similar problems but yeah that's like I said makes me feel upset for what I paid.
Really though besides the small pieces that fall off the biggest thing is that she keeps falling in half.

Any confirmation on being able to swap faces between Yume and the lewdbots?

What's the best way to go about complaining about the quality of my Yume without outright sending a messaging demanding a new one?

Am I going to be expected to provide pictures as well, because all I have is my phone which refuses to take good up-close shots.

I've never had to complain about the quality of an item I've gotten from a Japanese company before because they generally seem to take care in maintaining a standard befitting the price.

I can't even get her ponytail to fit into her ribbon piece or her head.

Also, what's up with her gripping hands just having pegs instead of the hobby joints?

>>5645988
>what's up with her gripping hands just having pegs instead of the hobby joints?

Unfortunately in all likelihood the volume that the hobby join peg need to slot in to inside the hand is conflicting with where the gripping hole need to be. It's sad to hear they went with that as a fix, I would like to see if there is another design solution to keep the joint.

Welp, pre-ordered shota or along with the gray lewbots. Think I'll paint Emil's white parts gray for swapping out with Clover and Shamrock.

Also, is it just me or do the gray Clover and Shamrock seem MORE lewd than the white originals?

>>5646237
They do seem more lewd. Their bodies seem to have a little shine to them and those blushes glowing on the dark skin look lewd.

File: lewd_robot_girls.jpg (97KB, 691x922px) Image search: [Google]

97KB, 691x922px

Finally opened mine up.

I didn't have any problems with her, other than like others have said, her hair peg is maybe a little to big, or the hole on her head is maybe a little small. I'm guessing the heat treatment could probably fix that and get it to stay in fine.

Also, she was apart at the torso in the box, but once I put other together, she didn't come apart again.

Don't have any loose joints or anything on mine.

Her and Clover will share lots of sexy tiems together, while waiting for more of these to come out.

>>5646237
>>5646328

I'm willing to bet the final product for the grey ones will be like the regular white ones in that the skin is more matte, so they won't be as shiny.

>>5646371
It looks like she has thicker thighs than Clover.

>>5646328
I think it might just be my liking darker-skinned waifus in manga, so any toning on skin looks sexy to me.

But the fact that the joints are less of a color-contrast yet still noticeably darker also plays a role in my boner for these dark robutts.

I like that we're finally getting some new faces and hands and stuff. Makes for some more nice variety.

>>5646434
Nah, I think it was from the angle of the shot.

>>5646635 and >>5646638 you can see they're identical (or at least nearly). Which is good. I didn't get Yume but at least I didn't miss out on them thighs while ordering Clover.

>>5646087
I didn't think of that but it makes sense.

They could have tried something like figma hands, but I guess these figures (being based on GKs) are designed around the universal joint system.

File: robutts.jpg (880KB, 810x1080px) Image search: [Google]

880KB, 810x1080px

My Yume came in today.
Like folks here have reported, getting the ponytail in her head requires some force, and even though I had some pop-age here and there, all the joints feel firm.
The only issue with mine is that the peg in the sword holding hand is a bit tinier than the hole itself, so it tends to wobble somewhat.

Aside from that, it's a pretty cool figure

Opened my Yume today too.

The ponytail hole required a little warming and after a few hours of handling I'm convinced that one of her legs is the tiniest bit longer than the other, but otherwise no issues. None of the peg-in parts have been popping out and the quality of the paint is on-par with my Clover and Shamrock.

>>5645945
>>5645940
>Blowjob face

How long before the japanese imageboards are overflooded with lewd new pics of shamrock?

Got my Yume in today, and I have to add my +1 to floppy-ass knees.

She can stand just fine, and most poses so far seem to be as stable as any other highly-poseable person figure, but her right knee in particular will flap around if you breathe on it wrong. I wish they were as tight as the hips or shoulders, those are great.

The ponytail was a nightmare, too, and I'm pretty sure I don't have it in all the way yet.

Ultimately, I'm not super bothered by the joint strengths, because they're standard issue hobby joints. I can fix them or replace them cheaply.

She's my first Daibadi purchase, and probably my only Polynian, unless we get more designs like >>5638189, but I have to say, overall, I'm very happy with the figure.

My only "real" complaints are that the neck area seems too long? and the simple foot-peg base doesn't really do shit. Otherwise, she's great.

>>5646638
I am surprised I am not feeling like i missed out

Got Yume today. Gotta say, all the joints on mine are quite loose except the shoulders. Here's a tip though. If you find that the ponytail is hard to plug in, reverse the joint. For some reason, it made life easier.

Also, +1 for falling apart at the torso. A LOT. Can't pick her up by the top without the bottom just falling off.

>>5647701
Just putting her in this pose took way too much effort. Apart from the torso popping apart several times, the loose knees kept giving away and the feet were hopeless at balancing her.

Figma stand was a must.

1MB, 2982x2239px

>>5647703
It's a shame because the design is cute and I'm sure I can fix the looseness of the joints. I guess my expectations were too high since I'm only used to figuarts/figma figures.

I think the biggest disappointment is that I boxed her away after messing with her for just an hour. Just couldn't bare the looseness and the torso coming apart. Here's to hoping Mei and Emil will be better.

I preordered Yume on HLJ. She'll be my first Polynian, but reading the above has me scared.
She's cute, but should I keep her? Is she worth keeping?

>>5647811
Only get her if you're willing to fix whatever issue, if any, that might plague your copy.

Design wise, I love her. It's the execution that sucks. And again, it's all fixable stuff.

Finally got my Yume today after the mail guy almost missed me. When I first got her out of the box, I could already tell the left arm has some serious friction issues, like, it wouldn't even hold a position for more than 2 seconds. The Torso joint is really stiff-- It was as if I could break it if I tried forcing it a little too much. I'm also having troubles with her hair like others have mentioned.

Overall, I'm sorta "meh". I loved the sexy as hell aesthetic of the figure, but I don't really see myself messing around with it a lot.

>>5647701
Yeah I was the anon that posted about my issues with it earlier and surprised you and a few others share the same issues. Especially with the torso falling apart. I go to pick her up or move something and I either lose her top or bottom half on the floor. As for the loose joints the right knee is the same one thats loose for me as well. I'm gonna keep her posed the best I can since she has nice sitting poses but I gave up on keeping her skirt on as the peg that holds it just pops off.

>tfw you wanted to use yume as a more action-oriented figure and pose her a lot but everything points to her being ill-fitted for it
I hope mine is not shit.

>>5648172
Yeah. After seeing reading these posts all day it's made me think about getting her. I ordered her late and am still waiting for her since HLJ has her as backordered. I hope that maybe the the joint problems were restricted to just a batch of figures, I still plan on getting her as I like the design but problems still worry me

As a casual who just stumbled into the thread, are the normal color versions of Clover going to get another run?

The grey looks like shit and all the normal color versions I've seen are going for big $$$.

>>5628164
That thing has been on my mind for the last several days. Get out of my head.

I've got the grays preordered via hlj and this thread is not filling me with confidence in this decision

>>5648220
The white naked ones are mostly fine

>>5648220
I currently have all of the polynians POed on HLJ but I'm actually considering cancelling my Shamrock. It'll help me save some cash and I actually find myself wanting him less as time passes

>>5648220
Shamrock and Clover shouldn't have problems as the white ones were fine. Can't see how they'd be any different as repaints.

But I've got Emil PO'd and now I'm worried he's going to be all rag-doll at the joints like Yume seems to suffer from.

Maybe if we switch out Yume's joints with tanned Clover/Shamrock and have Yume more active and the other in a more static pose?

id like to ask a question. i pre ordered the shamrock grey on amiami, and it didnt ask for upfront payment. should i worry? will i get my toy? or did i miss out?

>>5648405
>Should I worry?
No. AmiAmi never asks for upfront payment. You pay only when they have your item in-stock.

Okay so for those of you who have their Yume (not me still waiting) Looks like Daibadi has posted a repair turotial/how to for the loose joints on Yume or other Polynians. It says to follow the description on each picture to repair it. It also says that it should be done at our own risk as doing it wrong could mess up the joint.

>>5648462
Ugh fucking stupid.

I'm just going to cancel my order at HLJ. With such a mess of a figure I don't feel like fixing some shit thats been delayed for awhile now on their part.

Not to mention these quality control issues are a fucking pain.

>>5648464
I been thinking about cancelling mine too but I like her design a bit too much. Yeah I heard about the joints and such but I might just keep her than regret it later when I see others fix theirs up. Plus I do have masking tape laying around in case she does come with the problems mentioned by others.

>>5647589
It's already starting on Twitter.

>>5648376
That was my plan if the Yume I get has similar issues as everyone else's, swapping joints between the ones I'm shooting/posing and the ones on the sidelines.

>>5648195
Daibadi is thinking about it, it'll happen if what they're doing now goes okay.

>>5648195
>>5648491

Clover did get a rerelease at one point.

Also since earlier someone said I can contact them via FB I tried and it says the message was viewed a day ago yet no reply. I tried twitter as well and they just referred me back to their FB page. It seems once I mentioned the issues they didn't want to reply...

My Yume just got here a while ago.

I didn't really have any issues getting her ponytail in, and the pegs on and around her skirt haven't given me any issues, but her torso falling off and her knees being loose is sadly the case with mine, as well. The knees I could live with, but her falling in half at the slightest touch is not ideal.

Kinda regretting preordering Emil.

Have Yume and Mel on order and I don't plan on canceling either. I know not everyone who gets unlucky with a botched robot will be willing to drop more money on extra parts for an already expensive figur. But for those of us who are crazy enough to at least we can pick up extra hobby base joints and swap them around till we get a nice set.

>>5648703

I was thinking the same thing. I plan on buying multiples of most of these figures anyway for the parts swapping, so I am sure I will always have spare joints anyway.

Now that's a good plan right there.

You know, this whole ordeal I read of now reminds me of the Original Effect thread. Good designs, nice guys behind the designs, actual demand, and then QC issues.

I don't need to be tempted by more things! (>x<)

>>5648887
You don't have to be tempted, MoMos are a real gamble in QC terms. Chocolatte there, and her compatriot Hi-Riridine, for example, were both given these really high-contrast promo shots that made them look more like they were gunmetal than flat gray, and a lot of people didn't like that owing to the bait-and-switch feel it game. This happened early on in the line's birth too, with people thinking the nazi robot Ingenue Head would get an alternate hairpiece and hat, when in fact she did not. Also exploding knees and loose joints, though this seems a tad less common.

Like I said I'm still buying but I'm still aware of the risks.

>>5644529
And his hat reminds me of a tau drone. Could trap bots be tau usps?

HOW TO FUCK DID Y'ALL MANAGE TO GET THE PONYTAIL TO ATTACH!!!?

Hey /toy/ I'm new to figures. Can you clear a few things up for me? Is this supposed to be an overpriced piece of shit? I paid $70 (including shipping) to get this, and literally EVERYTHING is falling apart on it..

>left hand that holds the briefcase falls right out of her wrist
>left knee is so loose it makes he fall over
>right thigh is longer than left so she can't even stand up straight

I can confirm that both knees are super loose and make her fall backwards. There goes any degree of possibility I thought she would have.

This is pretty much the only toy I have ever bought as an adult, and it will likely be my last. This is just such a massive piece of shit, and I paid a lot for it. I was going to get Emil too so I could pose them next to each other on my desk. Y'know something cute for my cubicle. But nah, I'd have to be an idiot to buy any more of this garbage. I'll just buy a fucking plant or some shit.

I don't care how cute a figure may look, I'm never going to let myself get tricked into this shit again.

I'd say patience and time but even that almost got me no where. Thought I was gonna break something else just trying to put it in.

Dude all the same problems and like I said earlier I messaged them on FB and they saw it yet didnt reply when I mentioned the quality..

At least yours doesnt fall in half like mine and another anon mentioned earlier its fucking stupid.

I'm sorry to hear that anon. At least you are suffering this frustration alone. If that's any consolation...

I did eventually get the ponytail in. My thumbs hurt like fucking shit though. What I did was removed the ball joint from the pony tail completely, and then wiggle and pounded it into the hole in the head. Once it I twisted it around a bunch. Then removed it and assembled it all together.

Everything falling is a massive quality issue. And the fact that one leg is noticeably longer than the other seems like an inexcusable oversight.

I was tempted to buy the others too. So glad I chose not to.

>>5649380
aren't* suffering

>>5649376
Nah, they're basically OC's with a bit of backstory from a startup figure maker.

Gee, I can't wait for my polinesian to pose her doing actually interesting stuff.

>>5648462
I really just want it to work so it's nice having that as a backup plan in case my copy has bad joints.
It's still fucking bullshit but Daibadi seem to be concerned about it being that way.

>>5649380
The past ones didn't have any QC issues, though.
It's so weird it turned out like this, you'd think that this being their third mass release they wouldn't have these problems they didn't have on earlier releases.

>>5649416
There's a visual novel coming soon, tho.

I lucked out for the most part on mine. I've only got the loose knees and the waist sliding off.

I grabbed some Hobby Base joints for the knees, but I'm wondering if there's any reason why I can't glue the lower torso to the waist? Seems like it could hold everything together a bit more. I remember that was a problem with Clover too, and I never got around to fixing it either.

>>5649651

I don't think you'd want to glue her, if you ever plan on taking the skirt off.

They're from a yet to be released visual novel. The Polynians are basically robot aliens who arrive on Earth and the humans don't trust them. War breaks out but eventually ends when the humans and the robots find out they're sexually compatible and Clover, the naked female robot, gives birth to the first human/Polynian child.

Also iirc Shamrock and the rest of the boy Polynians canonically can become mpreg.

Try not to let this put you off figures too badly. This company is the new kid on the block (and might not be on the block for very long if this is representative, damn shame considering their first three figures were solid), try getting some things from Bandai (SHF, SIC, Movie Realization), Max Factory (Figma), Medicos (Super Action Statue) or Mezco (One:12 Collective) before calling it a wash.

Or if you've got money to burn, Hot Toys.

While, for the most part, I really hate ultra realistic toys and prefer stylization, there's a few exceptions I made to get Hot toys. Mainly based off movies and designs that I'm really fond of. Robocop, for example.

that said, I never get the people who buy up tons of them for a bunch of generic Hollywood movies. Marvel Hot toys displays are sickening. Most of those designs are trash.

>>5649893
I like the MCU designs but the Hot Toys displays of them reek of how boring they look. They are like the second tier of collectors with a lot of money but offensively scarce imagination.

If someone is going to start burning through money I'd suggest Assault Lillies or getting into customization.

it's not just him, My pony tail was also a nightmare. both the peg hole and indentation for the ribbon to snap in place were too small and STILL doesn't stay attached.

when you go to confirm payment there's a drop box option to combine with other orders. Either that or go into your account settings and click on modify orders and try tinkering around there.

Just a heads up, most of the peg holes are too small for msg pegs. There are a few exceptions. The smaller sword/ hatchet handles from the laser sword fit her hands, but when you combine the sword ther are no pegs small enough for her to hold.

My ponytail peg is stiff, but managable. My problem definitely is in the waist, I think the peg might have to be chopped down in a few places to be sturdy.

I did all of those but the only answer I got from them was the mail confirming I made the order. I'm waiting for the mail with the payment link.

Ok, so for those of us having problems with her falling apart at the waist, her body is composed of an upper body that has a joint in it, a middle stomach section that the joint goes thru, into the hips. You might want to try taking all three of these pieces apart and reversing the joint, or just taking the joint and placing it directly into her hip hole without going thru her stomach part, twisting it around to stretch the plastic a bit before reassembling. I fiddled with the joint for awhile and she is way more stable now, not falling off at the waist all the time at least.

Not all of the MCU figures are bad, I've got the Silver Centurion and the IM2 suits, those look great. The problems started when they began releasing Iron Man, Captain America, Black Widow, etc figures on a seemingly weekly basis.

I do also have Robocop, that's possibly my favourite movie ever and it wouldn't have felt right passing on the ultimate collectible for the character.

>>5649863
I'm truly sorry this was a disappointing experience for you, anon. If you want some 'cute' figures look into Figma, they're generally pretty solid. Alternatively get some of the Star Wars SHFs if you're into that kind of thing.

I'm preordering these regardless. The might learn from Yume and perfect their execution on these.

>>5650323
I think the problem is less with Daibadi and more with their factory in China. China's getting notorious for this shit, they'll deliver great things on your first couple of projects and as soon as they've secured lengthier contracts cut the quality of their output.

It's why a lot of companies are moving their manufacturing elsewhere, to places like Vietnam and Malaysia.

No way!

>>5650327
This. And in general if you are making stuff in china you need one of your guys, or a really trust worthy contact on the factory floor at all times. Factories will cut corners to increase there own margin and I have seen (This is in regard to electronics manufacturing) factors swap out parts for cut rate alternative and then pass the savings back to the ODM with out saying a word like it was an okay thing to do.

What I am guessing is happening here, and this is a big guess because I don't know how Daibadi handles their relation ship with Hobby Base. Is that the injection molding tooling on the Hobby Base joints was getting really worn out and the factory decided they they were going to get a couple thousand extra pulls out of the molds before going through the expense of redoing the tooling. The problem has mostly already been fixed but it still produced a bad batch of joints that, knowingly or not, slipped though QC.

Yeah this is what I thought. Since people from Daibadi pushed Yume back because they saw how they were turning out and wanted to fix the problems they saw. All this to try to give the buyers a good product but looks like some thing still managed to pass by.

>>5650198
Does have any kind of range of movement there or it's ok if you glue it to the upper body?

>>5650502
Even if you didn't glue it, there wouldn't be any movement, because there are three pegs that hold the figure together there.

I'd love to buy 'em

I'm sorry to hear how riddled with QC issues Yume ended as. I've yet to receive mine because I went with cheapo shipping, but at least I have time to temper my expectations.

Also I might have missed out from earlier generals but was there ever a fix posted for Clover's torso gap? The piece on mine doesn't fit perfectly, see pic related

Is there any other figure like Shamrock?
I want the bodytype, but I can't seem to find one.
I also don't want to drop a hundred on a single fig that isn't a BJD.

Yeah, there's a joint in there so she can lean forward/back a bit or twist her torso sideways; gluing her chest to her stomach will lock the balljoint in and make moving it impossible. If you are talking about gluing her stomach(waist) and hip together, that I could see working well since you can still slip her skirt over her waist, and there doesn't seem to be room for movement between those two parts, plus it is one of the spots where the figure is most likely to come apart at. Pictured is her chest removed from balljoint, which goes thru the stomach into her hips.

>>5650548
This was from the company's blog.

http://daibadi.at.webry.info/201503/article_1.html

Basically shave a very tiny amount off the bottom peg of the torso joint.
There's a diagram at the link.

>>5650563
I've always been cheap and never spent more than a hundred bucks.
I would repair them, repaint them, sew one set of tiny clothes and resell them for a profit.

I see. Do the part with the ball joint stay firm at all? As long as the ball joint part is ok the other part could be glued together.
I don't have mine yet but I think I can fix it if the problem is just there.

the part with the ball joint is a little looser than I would like, but it's tight enough that she holds together. The connection you have pictured is the one that was pretty unstable for me, it's better now but at first she was falling apart there all the time.

I just followed the guide on daibadi's facebook page where they have you pry apart the balljoints and apply masking tape to the shaft to give it some extra friction, knees are holding together much better too.

>resell them for a profit.
I like how you try to make yourself sound so much better that everybody else by adding this little bit. You don't just sell them, you sell them at a profit.
Like a 6 year old would do while trying to one-up his schoolyard playmates.

>>5650689
How anal brutally murdered are you?

He sounds nothing like that he just makes a profit off a hobby nothing more.

>>5650689
it's not about 'sounding better' than anyone, it's literally the only way I could get into the hobby. BJDs are expensive as fuck (as you so mentioned) and I happened to be dirt poor. I had painting, sculpting and sewing talents, so I used them to earn the money to buy the dolls I actually wanted.

>>5650703
That person who you just responded to isn't the same one who originally responded to you.

I'm the one who said doll owners usually spend thousands. I don't care if you fix them up and resell them like that other guy was flipping out about.

Thank you anon. I will try this.

Do you have any recommendations for pegs that simply fall out of holes? My Yume's hands with the hole (for holding the briefcase and sword) simply fall right out.

Also, my thumbs STILL hurt from trying to get her ponytail in yesterdaty

>>5649202
Heat the head piece a little with a hair dryer, then insert the ponytail joint.

>>5644543
This. This exact thing. She falls apart in the middle. And I had to use a hair dryer to get her ponytail in. Also, why do her leg joints go up into the body instead of to the left or back? To make her move her legs forward I have to pull them off, spin the joint around, and put it back. Then I cant spread them. Bad first impression.

For those having waist joint problems. Remove her torso, take her belly peice off and shove the joints peg in. It should fit fine once you get it in good. Take off the joint now and plug her belly back in. Make sure you shove the peg in good, but be careful not to break off anything. I'm going to do a review of her later and then hit her with some floor polish.

Newfag who now has a huge ladyboner for original Polynian Shamrock here hi.

I have a few questions despite lurking:
- Is the original with light skin and pink hair discontinued or did I make this up to scare myself?
- If it's still being made, how often does amiami restock them? Ebay's scalp prices don't appeal to me...
- Can I find it easily from mandarake's site without japanese terms?
- How tall is he really? In cm preferrably being a Eurofag

Feel free to lecture me for not knowing shit, I just think I fell in love and Sham might be the one.

>>5649863

Don't let it turn you off Anon, but do let the experience wisen you.

Always look for reviews of something before buying it. Several reviews.

>>5651268
Most japanese figures don't really have the long runs where they keep being restocked the way western toys do. So yeah, original Shamrock is not currently in production.

But Daibadi has said they'll consider another run if their other figures are successful and they think there's demand for original Shamrock and/or Clover.

>>5650775
Saviour!

>>5651278
The problem is the two Polynians before Yume had great reviews. And Yume's preorder went fast everywhere so any latecomers just straight up didn't get her.

>>5651512
>latecomers
Don't remind me. I ordered Yume the last time her orders opened in March and now have to suffer with back order syndrome from HLJ.

Is it safe to store Yume's extra parts and face plates together in a small plastic baggie, or will it ruin the paint?

>>5651702
At least you have a possibility of her not being complete shit, unlike the rest of us early adopters.

How many people here got their Yume from Amiami? I'm already prepared to repair her but I wanna know if the bad batch is there too.

>>5652153
That's what I'm hoping. Maybe the new ones they get in stock will be some of the ones that Daibadi sent back for repairs when the pushed her release back. If not I'm ok with the tape fix since I have masking tape laying around.

>>5652193
How do you fix one leg being longer than another?

>>5652204
okay. That I don't know. Might have to live with that my Mikasa figma has the leg problem too but I've been meaning to ask, is it the white leg pieces that are longer than the other leg or is it the joint peg just being a bit too long?

>>5652168
I got a solid Yume from amiami. No falling apart issues, joints hold. Just had the ponytail peg hole and leg length issues.

Well I brought out the other two toys I own and thought I would mix up the poses they were currently displayed in.

After fiddling with all 3 it crystal clear that Yume is the cutest one I have, and also the worst quality control. She would be so much cooler and posable if she didn't rain down pieces.

I can now say I am part of team breaks in half. Literally everything about her falls apart. Damn shame since it is so detailed and posable...

Oh and these aren't how I ended up posing them. Nobody told me toys could be so l-lewd.
