Has anyone appreciated the Turn A gundams as much as I have? I find it was a refresing toy design. Then ages later, it still looks fresh and so very original in desing. What, we have Sid Meade to thank right?

i love the turn A gundam design too. it took me like 3 try to get a chogokin A gundam with a good shoulder and it was worth it.

The chogokin figure of the the Turn A is pretty nice except for the exceedingly fragile shoulder--poor manufacturing design, a more flexible material should've been chosen. Oh well. Good to see a different take on Gundam, but I'm still not that fond of the moustachioed face though.

once in awhile it pops up on ebay for around $30. really cheap. great figure. the broken shoulder armor is pretty easy to fix.

So after years of waiting, I finally found one of these figures, and when I had the box opened in the store, the right shoulder plate was notably looser than the one on the left. Is this the extent of the broken shoulder syndrome? The shoulder plate was still attached to the shoulder, albeit very loosely. It's like the thin plastic ring which attaches it to the shoulder is still intact, but whatever creates friction between that and the shoulder is gone (glue? another ring of some kind to thicken up the connection?). Regardless, I proceeded to purchase the figure, hoping that there's probably a fix for this.
So, is the damage in these figures normally worse than what I found, or are loose shoulders par for the course?
More importantly, is there a fix for this?
