It's basically a hit or miss, I got mine okay but my friend got his broken, I don't know if super glue will fix it (I think he sold his piece already).

my cm's brave Goshogun came with the antenna detached. it was not broken it just fell out. all i had to do is put it back on but it does fall off once in a while. the antenna is gold chromed so gluing it will leave a mark. i am sure superglue will fix it.

here's mine, It got here broken at the very tip. I contacted the person I bought it from and he sent me a new head! turns out there was a little grain of sand looking thing in the box and it turned out to be the tip so I glued it back on but it was noticeable...but not enought to be annoying. his excellent service led me to buy one more goshogun and a 1969 Mazinger  |

Sorry to hear that your's came broken. It is a particularly thin and sharp piece of plastic--dangerous for young kids. The CM's figure is definitely an adult collector's piece given the price point and features like the menacingly sharp horn. I guess if it were made of metal, the horn would be dangerous even for adults.  But then we wouldn't have to worry as much about broken ones. |

They designed the box just a little bit too small. The robot doesn't rest deep enough in the styrofoam so the horn usualy ends up protruding through the styrofoam cover and also ends up taking a lot of stress from the top of the box/cover.

... It is a particularly thin and sharp piece of plastic--dangerous for young kids. The CM's figure is definitely an adult collector's piece given the price point and features like the menacingly sharp horn. .. and SHARP weapons, I still get chills over the time I did my video review. I was trying to squeeze the axe handle through his hand and the spear end of it SLICED the meaty part of my hand open. it was so clean and perfect that it didn't bleed. it split open and then only when I kept seperating the skin to look that it started bleeding. I mean there is sharp and then there is Goshogun weapon sharp. this piece of molded plastic is no joke. the horn is blunt in comparison. and to the HLJ customer, Im sorry they haven't been able to replace your horn. They usually send out a replacement piece. they have an area where they keep items just for parts replacement. maybe they don't have any of those in stock. I've dealt with HLJ for years buying everything and never had complaints. someone should make repro horns...hmmm... they can't be that hard to make right? |

They sent the replacement part in sal - very carefully bubble-wrapped in a box. As for timing, it was about one week between i submitted my issue and got notification that they sent me the part, and another 25 day to receive it. |
