SH Figuarts -- Piccolo

So, first off, this is Piccolo in his Manga colors instead of his anime colors, which means yellow arm bulges and a red belt instead of pink arm bulges and a blue belt. That said, I'm a little torn on this figure. I think that perhaps, because the figure I bought was pre-owned, it might just be a little more beat up than most. Here's my reasons for disappointment which may have nothing to do with the actual figure design: His joints are all very loose. He comes apart too easily at the waist and the shoulders. For my figure, his arms have a hard time actually pegging into place, so they fall off pretty easily. Also, it's tough to change heads, because the ball joint on the neck just doesn't want to be pegged into the head. The shoulder pieces of his gi tend to fall off pretty easily as well. But that might all be from frequent over-use.

All that said, the detail is wonderful as usual. He's got great paint details on his shoes and ankles. One of his heads has bulging veins that look pretty great. His cape has two different front pieces, one normal and one with a cutout for his crossed-arms to fit over.
