Are you trying to delude yourself into believing that so you can more easily avoid Super Action Statues and the insane cost some of them have on the aftermarket???

Because they're fantastic!

Black Dio did have some widespread issues of quality though, seems like his production was rushed to meet higher demand or something else went down with that figure's production and assembly. Silver Chariot Second came out perfectly by comparison.

Oh, unless you're referring to those Kotobukiya two-packs from Part 3-5. They seem to be just okay and only the Stands in those sets are articulated, which is utter nonsense.

What were the complaints on Black Dio? I have him and he seems awesome.

Not anytime soon, Keith. Have fun in a whole new rabbit hole.

Most prevalent complaints were with the deco, in paint chips and the faded look of the sleeves compared to the torso and pants. There's also been cases of misassembly of nearly any part imaginable, wrong heads being included, seams not being glued together, missing pieces... Black Dio has run the full gamut of issues, but of course they're not all bad, and there's enough out there where any issues are minor or nonexistent that Dio is still worth considering as an SAS, but his problems have been more endemic than most SAS that I know.

Oh well, I'm glad mine is one of the good ones then. How are the Kinnikuman figures? I got one of the limiteds of Robin Mask, but I don't want to open it.
