I sanded the pegs on mine down. They fit nice and snug in the backpack now. This is a beautiful display piece. Heavy metal frame, metal weapons, very tight joints. Looks stunning w the 4 wings of light attached, the LED base on, and LED eyes lit up. The stand so far has been adequate enough to pose, take pics, and return the figure to a regular “feet on the ground pose” The hands are fully articulated although the thumb on my right hand is loose (womp womp) The pegs on the wing attachments don’t fit into the four holes on the back pack. I gave it my all...no luck. I finally took some sandpaper, wrapped it around the peg and sanded in ten second intervals. Doesn’t take long at all so go very slowly. All four wings are good to go now. The only issue I have w this figure is the amount of metal they put in the weapons. A fully metal sword sounds great except for the fact that the figure can’t hold them. The articulated fingers aren’t strong enough so the sword is useless. The gorgeous spear is METAL. Too heavy to really do much w. I have this guy in full display and let me say....when you walk into the room it immediately demands your attention. People want to hold the metal weapons, see it w lights on, ask about it, or stare in awe. I got the full set that includes the following; One figure 2 wing of light sets (for the butterflied wing look Blue LED base I look forward to their next efforts Lay off the metal weapons and make the articulated fingers strong like the Hurricane for the next one guys! 😄😄🙌🏼🤪 This company got me started collecting toys ,now i have alot of Sentinel and a few Bandai toys....but moshow/poison/vientiane toys still top the list for me as it is priced so well form a scale and quality pov....i have collected all the have to offer and looking forward to more from them..excellent toys and i appreciate your overview of this amazing toy |

My first Gundam was the Hurricane. That sucker still amazes me. The value is off the charts w these. I wish I would have bought two. One to keep mint and one to pose the living hell out of.

I haven't had a chance to do it on mine yet. At least for the small sword, a little blue tack will hold the sword in its hand. The large sword would need a 2-handed pose, and blue tack may help with the spear for some poses. The sculpt on this figure is fantastic, just like the Buster and Strike before it. Moshow's 00 QAN(T) is superior to Bandai's MB release. |

I think it may turn out that Li Hua release turns out to be another Moshow figure.
Source for this Gerbera Tetra toy please. It doesn't sound like something a 3rd party would take a chance on before any number of Gundam designs that would generate way more interest and sell more than the Gerbera.

Yep! That's what I meant.
So excited when I saw these. Finally a Zeon MS got its Metal Build treatment. Not Sazabi, of course! But a decent one. Cima Garahau is quite a well known pilot in UC timeline.
Better save some money from now. LOL

Went w light sanding as I don’t want WD40 on my figures and I’m not sure it would have stayed in. My pegs were way too big for the holes. imgur.com/a/WJjvZWV |

And how would it deal with the sizing issue? I sprayed a little amount on the cotton buds then wiped it on the pegs and holes |
