Square Enix Dragon Quest III: Bring Arts Hero Action Figure

This action figure looks great in a lighted case. The quality is very good.

STAY AWAY. Horrible quality. Nothing compared to figma . Too many interchangeable parts . As soon as i tried to switch the skirts, the piece broke. So disappointed

A good figure, sadly taken down a peg because of horrible quality control!!!I got this figure in the mail, first thing out of the box , the stand, breaks on me right away. The stand can be very important for posing or even standing the figure up properly.The defects didn’t end there. The shields’ handle was completely askew. Simply put a return needed to be made! Consider me shocked when the replacement figure likewise has issues as well, again the shield with the askew handle (though gratefully it came unglued and I found you could simply snap it in place in the correct position. A half good half bad situation), it just made me realize how bad quality control was.There are however choices made with the figure that while not defects also brought the figure down.There’s a peg system for the head and hands. For the head this sort of works, makes swapping easy. Three faces to choose from. The hands though are too loose and easily pop off while trying to pose figure.Worst of all is the bended knee pose. Your suppose to be able to pull the legs off and place the new skirt piece in so he can pose bent down, but I simply couldn’t risk damaging the figure by pulling the legs off. For making the hands and head so effortless to change, not doing the same for the legs makes zero sense. I’m simply not gonna use this pose.The box, it should also be noted, had issues too. It’s a beautiful piece; but one came with the end crushed in (thanks amazon...), and the other had a magnet inside to connect to the folding cover flap - but came unglued. I can still place it in there with it, but it’s still yet another problem maring an otherwise wonderful figure.In addition, the instructions are bafflingly printed on the insert inside the box. This is such a horrible cost cutting measure, that it felt nearly insulting considering the price of the piece. Seriously? You can’t include a darn piece of paper with instructions on itIt’s still a good figure. Just be prepared to use amazon ‘s return and replacement policy

I have seen many reviews about the poor quality control so coming in I was very careful around moving and posing the figure. Even still, I managed to drop my figure about 10 inches onto a hard marble table and checked to see if there was any damage. Luckily I didn't see anything concerning and it still held up perfectly. Maybe I just got lucky with mine, but it looks good, is articulated well, and scales well with my 1/12 super smash collection. The only problem is the right hand easily comes out (before I dropped it too).I recommend if you really don't need to see the figure with the other skirt that you avoid changing that out cause things might break while trying to switch it up.
