Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
Not sure if it is due to the climate....I would say a good portion of collectors in Taiwan have cracking in their Goku.
Another collector just posted pics
Very very scary..  hh

Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
Hmm...is it very warm over there in Taiwan?
I've just checked mine, thkfully its still intact for now...
Not sure, if anybody like kenmoo or Shaun have encountered the same problems.
This really sucks, Medicom ought to send replacement parts out to customers overseas and not just restrict it to their own country.

Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
Yeah Kaz
Taiwan is pretty hot and humid. Don't know how it is compared with Singapore though. The collectors who have experienced cracking have Goku out of the box and not in direct sunlight. Guess we'll find out how bad the problem is in other countries soon. Just something to look out for.
These pictures remind me why I am so afraid of rubber figures. Will likely mean passing up on the HT Hellboy figure.

Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
Singapore is pretty hot & humid too...I have it displayed for bout two months before putting it back into the box....
Damn...not just the Hellboy figs, Im even worried about the two batman suits, whether they will crack over time....

Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
That's really bad, Darren. Fortunately I'm in Canada. Still, that sucks. I think you can order parts from Medicom, they come with little order catalogues sometimes (all in Japanese) but I don't know if you'll be able to order a new neck as they're usually for new hands.

Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
Same problems in HK. This pic was from a HK collector. Really really sucks. I hate to say it but I would suggest that you refrain from purchasing any DBZ figures (withe rubber skin) for the time being.

Re: Medicom DragonBall Z Figures
How would Goku look on a massive body? is it that much of a difference besides the arms. I dont think its really necessary for him to have a muscular neck.
