congrats anon

>>5947925
The left thigh peg is malformed and falls right out ;_;

And some of the joints are a little loose.

Wut do

>>5947987
From where did you get her? Maybe you can email the seller for a replacement, and the loose joints can be fixed with a little of nail polish or pledge (this is something that manny people here recomend)

>>5948017
It was taobao through a middleman :|

After checking the other leg and trying to fix it with tape I don't think any of that stuff will do. The shape is off in a way that the thigh pops out a little. I'm going to try remaking the joint with a 3mm nylock nut and a 3mm set screw.

>>5948037
Hmm, Sorry anon for this issue with your fig, I hope that you can fix it

>>5948042
I hope so too friend

Does anyone happen to know what type of plastic the body of the MoMos are made of?

>>5948057
Unfortunately no, but you could probably tweet Optune about it.

>>5946146
>MoMo
more like NoMo

Have one and it's floppy even with Super glue.

Man this thing was a nightmare to fix.

I cut off the peg and drilled a hole in the leg to replace it with a screw and nylock nut, but no adhesive could hold a metal on plastic torsional force so nothing I tried worked. Eventually I superglued the peg I cut off back into the socket and then drilled a hole into it and combined the thigh and leg with a set screw.

The material was so soft it would barely drill and in the end it came out crooked, which is driving me insane. Somehow I improved it a little by widening the holes and using electrical tape to make them tight.

At least it doesn't pop out constantly and can stand on its own. Though I think I'm getting a little sick from breathing PVC dust.

I really wish these had better quality control, but as much as I love nazi fembots I kinda regret getting this considering it was nearly $80 after shipping and all.

>>5950112
Glad to see you got her on her feet, at least, but sorry to hear still.

>>5946149

I'm interested, but someone knows hoe good is the artwork of the comics of this company?

>>5950112
>I really wish these had better quality control

This is one of those things where you're REALLY better off just sucking up the extra cost of buying off a (your country here) site with a good return policy in case you get a bum copy.

>>5956829
As far as I know that one's out of print, so it'll be hard to find anywhere.

>>5956833

I meant MoMo's in general.

Is it true that Coreplay is the new Original Effect, either made up of people from there (probably pissed with the all-Momo direction) or as a new label?

Someone have mentioned this in other thread IIRC, but IDK if there any truth on this or is something made up, I see that the Coreplay figures have a similar look to the ones that OE have done, maybe Coreplay have been founded by some people that have work in OE.
Something that is helping to believe this is that the OE facebook page haven't been updated in more that a year and the the OE site is down. but if that were the case that OE is dead, who was in charge of producing and making all the MoMos that we have got in the latest months?

I had that same problem with that same momo. My legs fell off at the thigh like there was nothing holding them in. I tried a bunch of stuff for friction, but in the end, the only solution was to pry the little socket caps out of the leg hole, screw them onto the thigh peg, then epoxy the socket cap back into the leg hole.The legs are no longer interchangeable, but after this fiasco I no longer want another momo so it doesn't matter.

>>5959726
>but if that were the case that OE is dead, who was in charge of producing and making all the MoMos that we have got in the latest months?
There seems to be every indication that they're definitely out of business. So I don't know how these things are coming out.

Yeah, It seems like so, the guys on futaba have a thread now about the Coreplay figures, where (as far as I understand using a web translator) they have said the same, Original Effect is now out of business, which is a pity, because the MoMo figs have a stylish design and had potential, there have been some QC error in some of the figs, but now this line have entered 'Busou Shiki' territory; sad part is that it seems like we won't be getting the other cools MoMo designs afterall.

They have shown a Sylvanas Windrunner fig, which looks neat

>>5966501
>it seems like we won't be getting the other cools MoMo designs afterall.
Because they did that stupid shit of putting out the most pedestrian figures first. Well, maybe given the QC control issues it was for the best. But it's like with a lot of action figure lines. "Hey, we're doing a new X-Men series! Our first three waves will have 15 variants of Wolverine, and a Magneto. But Wave 4 will have all the characters you want! Oops! Nobody bought the first two waves, time to cancel the line!"

>>5966508
They were very clear on Facebook that this is NOT related to any licensed properties. Any appearance otherwise is totally coincidental.

>>5966554
>Because they did that stupid shit of putting out the most pedestrian figures first.
This, but the last wave at least have the first Monstrous types (the two cats and the bee)
Now who will make more MoMos?

>>5966504
Thats a pretty disapointing body and face. Was hoping she'd have more range. Ah well, glad i passed on getting the dark skinned one. Still, i hope other people are enjoying them.

No more MoMo? Ah, RIP.

>>5966599
It'd probably actually be a good idea to tweet Optune about this.

Is the quality control any better in the monstrous types? Wanting to know before I dropped the money.

I get your point, I guess that they were testing the waters with the simplest versions, then they will release the more complex ones, as anon in >>5966599 said, they begin to release the monstrous types, but now it seems that the future of this line is uncertain

>>5967459
>It'd probably actually be a good idea to tweet Optune about this.
I send him a tweet, no answer yet

>>5967719

Worst part is all the build up for the fishfriends, means if we do get something like a final wave it probably wont be the bugs.

>>5967983
Thanks. I ordered the AC Play "enslaved alien princess" outfit and I really think this would be a good body for that. I know it's meant for the Phicen seamless, but I love the sculpted detail on this body compared to the those things.
I guess this is more for the 1:6 thread.

>>5968287
Post pics if you get this outfit with that doll body

>>5966508
That ass seems really mediocre. The thighs gave me high hopes.

Wait, are MoMo's gonna stop being made or something?

Do anyone know where you can buy those screw and bolt for the knee fix

>>5970882
Yeahave, and the lack of replies prove it.

Wait, so what about us who have paid pre-orders for momos?

Are those going to be canceled and refunded or is it just that no new ones will be made?

>>5974420
Presumably/hopefully the latter but frankly I can't tell what's happening with MoMos as figures on the whole.

>>5974420
I can be wrong, but the latest Momos are already out (the bee and the cats) so there isn't any momos on preorder, right?

>>5974437
>frankly I can't tell what's happening with MoMos as figures on the whole.
this, many guys here are jumping into conclusions and we have not confirmed shit yet

>>5975017

well the hi-rirdine vol.2 was scheduled to be out on oct.31st from ekia. I don't know if it was released prior to that.

>>5975760
Hi-Riridine 2 has been released already on other import sites.

Optune posted some stuff on his twitter, mostly just bits about the aquatic types, though.

>>5981160
Had someone asked him about if is true that original effect is dead or not?

>>5981272
Figmoe mentioned giving it a shot earlier but hasn't gotten a response. To be fair I do agree with another guy who'd mentioned earlier it's bit too early to come to any conclusions as of yet.

Meanwhile on the AngryViking' twitter

>>5984519
Neat.
I kinda find it interesting how they sort of made the faces more traditionally flat as opposed to the more blocky-wedgeish faces MoMos have.

>>5984519
>no fucking faces

GARBAGE

>>5985541
You can see the center Orca-type's got eyes. My guess is the artist was trying to go for the look that MoMos tend to have where their hair obscures their eyes, but at the same time they were trying to make their faces look more visibly human.

>>5985541
>This faggot doesn't realize that the hair piece of the MoMos usually conseal their eyes
GTFO

guys, its just easier to not draw faces. thats probably the only reason

>>5984519
Is there any date for this comic?

>>5996862
Still no word on the fate of OE?

Did the Spider MoMo get a preorder date yet

>>6001645
>>6001652
No, and no, unfortunately.

Wah, it's too bad this line's so dead-seeming.
I was thinking about picking up a MoMo off HLJ during the Christmas sales if they have 'em marked off. Exlair, Eins, or a bunny?

>>6007632
Eclair looks cool based on the design

I just got a hi rirdine from bbts. I had a preorder on ekia for one as well but it seems that batch might not be fulfilled as it said oct 31 release

>>6010280

she seems to be fine, I haven't taken her out of the plastic yet. orca color ver.

As long as your momo is wrapped in the plastic there seems to be no way for it to bounce around or touch the edges of the container.

gotta eat breakfast first

>>6010677
Watch the legs yo.

>>6010688

yeah, I plan on loosening up the joints a bit softly

heard those things could be a bit rigid

Just 1 pic cause I don't have time to pose stuff.

Some observations:
The shoulder joints, and maybe the elbows and wrists seem like the parts most likely to break. You need to be careful and know which way the joints are facing if you don't want to risk bending them the wrong way.
Her knees, shoulders and feet are double jointed so the articulation is pretty good. Her left shoulder was a bit loose for me, everything else seemed alright tightness-wise. I thought the standing would be weird due to how curved her legs are, but the flexibility in the feet makes up for it.
The arms, kneecaps and feet can pop out. Scared the crap out of me when they did cause I thought I borke something, but they slid back in like nothing happened.
Looks nice, molding could be a bit better, but can't complain. I'm glad I bought it.

Also I have to dust my fucking desk god damn.

>>6011030
Hum, well, at least yours didn't bust.

I've been stalking Manda, Ebay, and Yahoo Japan since they came out and haven't seen them at all.

Good luck with that, but I doubt the dudes who own them are gonna sell them anytime soon.

I wonder if the comics are still happening

>>6027510
I think so, I'm curious about how they will develop the story.

Don't die MoMo!
