Is there some reason regular x is noticeably shorter than zero? I mean I can headcanon the height difference because zero is definitely bigger than x in atleast X3. I get that x came out way before zero but I built zero first and not only is x much less sturdy than zero but the height is mostly my question.

Is there a way to fully remove nub marks without painting? I’ve tried the recommended method of using single blade nippers and the double cut method, sanding the remaining nub down and doing some polishing, but the plastic is still discolored. Does anyone face a similar issue and is there any advice to properly remove the nub marks? Thanks!

I know it’s a Sousai sub-line but like, do we know anything about it otherwise? seems to lean into a more spy/tactical theme and Penetrator and Wolf seem to be color-schemed to pair well.

Square Enix Bring Arts shoulder ball joint was so incredibly stiff in one arm. I thought I was slowly turning the joint, but instead I was twisting the point between both ends of the joint and couldn't see what was happening until it was too late because his jacket sleeve was in the way.

Are there any replacement joints that'll fit this? Popping the other arm out and measuring, the ball seems to be 6-7mm in diameter (fwiw, entire figure is 6"/15cm tall).
I was looking at Kotobukiya Tops Sets, but have no idea how big its shoulder ball joints are. Does anyone have one of those sets to be able to give me a measurement of its shoulder ball joint?
Thanks!

I want to buy it, but have had bad experiences with older kotobukiya kits. I am also concerned about posability, all the photos i can find for reviews have it either in ship mode or A-posing.

Is it good, bad, fragile, etc?
