The upper arm for my gaiking cracked due to the pressure of the force fitted metal peg and the weak plastic used. I just measured all the dimension of the arm and managed to make a model to print a replacement. The printed piece was easy to install after some filing. After being painted white it looks as good just as the original part and probably a bit more durable since I thickened it a bit.

Haha, now I'm thinking of replacing the head and the skull chest. I actually don't like the look of how Daiku Maryu's skull is sculpted on this. Since I have the model for the skull I can probably find a way to print and attach it.

CFF: So today at Target I saw the electronic Voltron. This is the non-combiner version, and it is well proportioned. It also has faux scratches to simulate battle damage. Dec 26, 2016 22:41:04 GMT

CFF: At $36.99, the price was not bad. But with only 4 copies available which were roughly handled, and poor paint apps on the face and other small areas, I was a bit turned off and did not buy it. I might buy a copy later on as new stock becomes available... Dec 26, 2016 22:44:00 GMT

CFF: ...and manufacturing quality improves. Dec 26, 2016 22:44:27 GMT

CFF: Yay!!! I finally bought the NES Classic Edition at my local Target!
