So, I got one of these Limited Kingdans from Anime-Export. I already had the original GK version, but since the price was fair enough, I decided to get me a fully finished one as well. When I opened the figure, I noticed it had a very noticeable scratch/mark right in the front of the skirt...  So, I contacted AE and asked for their assistance. Today I got an email from them stating that they will be sending me a new Kingdan. Wow! Of course, no celebration until I receive it...  }D So out of curiosity, are they letting you keep the scratched one? Or dI'd they ask you to return it? |

Got my replacement Kingdan X10 a few minutes ago, and it is perfect this time! Now I have three ET Kingdams: Original GK version, and two limited AE exclusive version (one scratched).  . I may repainted one in manga colors... Or maybe not.  }D |

guys, i got a chance to handle him today. so heres my pros and cons
pros
sculpt is just beautiful. very faithful to how Kingdan should look....including the oversized hands.
the plastic feels very dense and heavy like resin...maybe it is resin? including his accessories, his sword holding hand and a sword, i dont notice ANY pvcs or abs on this release.
the magnet joints feel nice and strong. exception of sword holding shoulder....its seems like its not making full contact with the shoulder magnet all the time.
looks very nice on my shelf
cons
horrible cheap styro coffin. there are ton of styro spikes and styro dust all over everywhere when opening this thing. they used the cheapest styro they can find. its not the dense and tidyones that i find on hot toys. i toss the whole package in the garbage. i dont want this in my house as immediate health of my family is more important then eviornment issue. besides, there no recyling facility for styro in my area, so dumpster it goes....
paint app is very minimal, almost 80 percent of the figure is bare plastic or resin.... which is not really a bad thing as you can paint it yourself.
of 20 percent what was painted, its very sloppy.....bleeding in many areas.
finally, you can only rotate the waist, as its only a peg joint...no ab crunch.
hands look bit big....but hey. its source accurate so im not going to count against it.
overall, im happy to have sturdy well sculpted and decently articulated KingDan figure and so i would recommend it. he feels great!!
but I want ET to stay away from cheap styro packaging.

Odd all of my ET toys have come in plastic trays maybe cu this is indeed resin it's a paint yourself kit originally see mine..so maybe styro is better to support resin in this case. It usually comes loose in bags in a box when unpainted like my version.. Huh strange

yeah, i love this solid feel of this prebuilt resin. feels unbreakable.
speaking of Garage Kit, i wish Somebody will produce do it yourself diecast robot where id put togather a prepainted metal robot with a pair of included screw driver.
like a model kit Die cast robot. how cool would that be?
