I have heard his wings either break or one is kind of limp and won't stay up is this a common problem and is ghidorah worth the money?

The wing issues were fixed a long while ago. Per Bandai explanation both wings are suppose to sag a little so that they can replicate a 360 flight movement. However, it can look aestheticlly displeasing. I am able to flap my ghidorahs wings by holding its body And lifting it up and down using gravity for the wings. They don't break.

Ours broke. But to be fair we did get it for our 5 year old. I wouldn't suggest using it as a toy for a child.

I bought this for my son who is an avid anything Godzilla collector. He has not had a problem with it and has played with it several times. It is delicate in areas such as the tail and wings but will hold up nicely if not abused. I would not recommend for a younger or irresponsible child or young adult. As far as worth, This is a definite collectors item and should be treated as such. The detail is fantastic and looks amazing and while the price is rather high it blows the toys store versions out of the water. I am planning on purchasing the burning Godzilla as a birthday gift.

The wings can break pretty easily at the base. You have to be very careful with them. You can move them a little bit.This figure is best to be adult owned and should only be displayed in a safe place. I think a child would break it very easily very quickly.I have one and mine is pretty cool no defects or problems.

The wings, usually the left one, is very floppy right out of the box and will break easily, the right wing looks sturdier, but don't be deceived, it will break easy as well, and I have what was advertised as the later "improved" version.
1596144
It is common and unavoidable due to the way it joints. Mine is very slightly limp but you can move the wings if you slowly move them from the base only. Other than that its deffinatly worth it. Hope that helps

Nope.Not at all,cos I have it and no problem as far as I am concerned. Well,compared to Biolantte this one worth more money than some Tamashii S.H. Monsterarts figures of Godzilla Series. Trust me.

That is true. The wings are very delicate. The left wing on mine is limp. I found a position for the wings that looks good and have not moved them since. That aside, if you are a big fan or serious Monsterarts collector it is worth it since it looks great. If you intend on "playing" with it, it will not hold up and you should find a cheaper stronger alternative

According to a post on the tohokingdom.com forum, the problem with the wings have been fixed:http://www.tohokingdom.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=636792&sid;=4a735bfc01cd76ac66fb1f15a033bd3aI'm not sure how much of a fix they did, but I just received mine last month (Jan 2014) and the wings didn't break off when I flexed them (I did handle them from the base though). The left wing still seems to sag a bit though. Part of the original problem was the double hinge they used.

The one we got my son is a single blade not the double. Unfortunately it wasn't a good buy. It's the biggest of the few we have owned which was nice but we had problems almost from the start. No matter what we tried we could not get it to fly forward. On the second flight it crashed and I had to order a new tail rotor. On the very next flight it fell from flight and broke an engine gear cog. It wasn't worth fixing after that and now sits on a shelf in my sons room. Made me angry to see my sons sadness. I then got a 4 chan slightly smaller and it's been great. The bigger copters are more fun to fly but I'll get a different one next time Hope that helps.

Motor failures are a major issue! Every 10-60 flights all micro motors that fit in this quadcopter will no longer work. However do not fear a sudden motor failure in the middle of a flight, and I would only recommend this quadcopter to someone who will fly it no more than 3 times a week. If you are planning on flying it a lot do not get any similar helicopter, instead by a more expensive and better one. Finally this was a great quadcopter for beginners, but not for regular flights or experts.

We have not had any problems with legs or arms coming off. And they do not come off as part of the "story" (like luke getting his hand cut off) either. They do fit in the Falcon of the same series.

I suggest buying a Structure that is easy for him. Kinda like this this one right here. If he is familiar with the show, then he'll love mighty Blue-Eyes and the next gen of Blue-Eyes Azure EYES! For you see Duel Monsters is a tad bit complicated at times to understand. So I also suggest let him play the game online. If I helped then right on. Here's the link for the game http://ygopro.de/en/ and as for the item here I bought it as well, still love it and good buy.

The george in this set does not bend his arms. I am not sure why since in other sets he does. If you guy grandpa pigs train for example, he does bend his arms and his legs move as well to sit down. Other reviews have said they received a counterfeit version of this toy, not really from fisher price. I would compare your set with the photo of the fisher price toy because despite george bending his arms or not, it might be fake for other reasons.

Arlene is right - the blades collapse completely into the hilt. I'm not sure what "MOM2" is complaining about - the blades are supposed to stick a bit so that they don't collapse when hit during play. Besides, getting a model that lights up wouldn't make the blades "get stuck" less.
2279091
Yes, this is most definitely a problem!!! It means that the tang of the blade ( the part of the blade inside the handle ) is broken somewhere in the handle. Either that or the wooden covering over the tang is broken. Both are serious flaws and will cause the sword to break if it is used. I bought the hand-and-a-half sword too from Amazon and it had the same flaw yours has. If you ordered it from Amazon, they will replace it as long as you've had it for less than thirty days.

I checked my son's R2 and it seems pretty much like you described. It also seems like those box-like attachments on the inside of the two main legs don't help getting it in good tilted positions either. I know he loves his, but it is more of a show piece, like his Death Star, than an every day active playing piece. He only plays with his R2 when he's showing it off to people!

If there are no defects it is very simple. The base pose goes through the slit in the bottom of the wing, tail section and the small nodule on top and at the back of the head goes through the eyelet in the middle and top of the wing/tail section. There is a little stretching done to get this to happen but once in the wings certainly won't fall off. I have had mine in winds up to 30knots without any problem.

As far as I know this is a restock of this figure by DC Collectibles, according to the last news this new shipping of figures was carefully checked, but some problems with articulations remained. I keep my figures in the box, so Im not very aware of this problem. What I recommend you, is to talk to costumer service via chat, and explain them the problems with this figure, maybe they can send someone to pick up the best version of the figure in the warehouse.

The one I ordered also has a small hole in the wing. The hole appears to be a manufacturing defect (incomplete fill). I returned the first one I received only to have the same defect in the replacement. Clearly a majority of the parts have this hole. My daughter liked the dragon so much, she decided to keep it accepting the fact that nearly all of the figures have the same hole.

Nope! Even the wings, which have been fragile in my opinion on earlier gunpla, are made up of some pretty sturdy plastic!

Mine still works fine, i made sure i bought the original Disney company toy, my son handles it rough and throws it hard on the carpet/bed - hopefully it stays good, but if yours broken for what ever reason, try calling amazon / company, not necessary they should replace it but you never know.....
1760545
the plastic this model is made of is not cheap but is delicate. the big pieces can withstand some pressure. but keep in mind it does have brittle parts such as small, thin parts. such as the wings, V-crest on the head, and beam saber effect parts. also keep in mind this is NOT a toy for children to rough house with. its for collectors and decorative display only.

It is a very delicate model and it will break if labded hard.but it is also relitivly easy to repair with foam safe ca glue. I recomend flying over shin high grass that way your firs few landings will be less likly to break the model.

It didn't. I sent it back to them and they tried to blame it on my crashing it. But it never flew. Only flipped over backwards no matter how much trim or forward thrust I used. I have been flying R/C for 40 years. I think I know what to do. They even charged me a 15% restocking fee without offering a replacement. I wouldn't do business with these characters. However, my friend has one that works fine. About 15 minutes a charge. Find a different vendor.
