I feel like I'm one of the few that got this and didn't have qc issues. Granted I regret not buying the anime color version as I have zero attachment to the godaikin colors I have 40 & 40R as well without any issues on either. Lucky!!! Dang.. maybe I should have rolled the dice on another one.. but got scared and just got the anime color one.. hopefully I can get a replacement with bluefin. Cuz now I'll have both gx40 and gx 40r!

Dang it.. read the spare part policy.. says if the toy has been on the market for more than 8 months.. they can't help...
I still sent an email to see if they can help, but we'll see what they say.
Man!!! This sucks! Seems like this is an easy fix and just need a spring and some sort of shaft to repair this... So frustrating..
Do u guys dare me to take apart the anime color one I'm about to receive and just swap parts? Lol!!!

After that, maybe ask here and in FB collector groups if anyone has a broken one they wouldn't mind giving parts for. You can also look at the anime color one to see how you can repair the joint, maybe with some parts from a hardware store and some patience. Personally I wouldn't swap parts from a non-broken figure to fix a broken figure, and risk the chance of breaking another.

Great News! I combined mine just once... and sweated so much to disassemble it that I never did it again. The arms got attached so hard that I was afraid of breaking or ripping Sphinx... took me 40 minutes to separate it from the white robot... such a stressful experience...

How does wutafa do it? He makes it so easy to disassemble. Maybe it's a good thing that I got both gx40 and gx40r. Gx40 just feels more solid .
Does anyone agree? Or is the QC on the R vary that much from person to person?

How does wutafa do it? He makes it so easy to disassemble. Wotafa sort of "cheats" i think He sprays tight joints/connections with Tokyo Marui Silicon Oil. He has several instructional videos about it in his YT channel, but he only applied it on some TFs and vintage pieces. Just assuming he does the same with his SOCs, another example is Big Moth’s “toes” from his GX-13R Dancougar vid, he pulled those out quite easily without exerting that much effort.
