No problem. Wow, that is quite the piece, can't wait to see it lit up. Godzilla just has some cocaine left on his foot after he was gearing up to battle Kong Is that a Berserk canvas I see?

Thanks! It certainly is something. And it does appear that Godzilla was into the nose beers on the boat ride over here. Any thoughts on cleaning it up?

I'm excited to see it lit up as well, really hoping there are no issues. One of the building pieces, I believe in Kongs portion, had something rattling around inside of it ��

I believe the main image is lifted right from the Manga, so it would be Miura. They have also combined a picture of the Berserker armor as Guts didn't have it yet when the main pic appeared in the Manga. I found it for sale on etsy.

That Godzilla knockoff I bought from Aliexpress and even my Angurius from RICSAN was covered in foam. All I did take it outside and using canned air blow what I could off. The rest I took a small brush too, couple hard ones needed a toothpick.

Looks AWESOME BTW! Wish I had room for it. My Kaiju room is just about full now though.

Well it isn't all sunshine and roses over here. Or whatever the saying is.

I ordered the power adapters they spec(5V 6A DC output) and have been testing them this morning. Godzilla works perfectly. One building on the Kong portion doesn't work, and TWO buildings on the city portion don't work. I'm an electrician and tested for voltage on all 3 base contacts and they are showing just under the 5V. I'm going to try and rig up some wiring connecting the base contacts to those on the bottoms of the buildings, to see if there is an issue just with the contact point where they insert. If the buildings light up by connecting them with wiring it should prove this one way or the other.

Another thing, Kongs outstretched arm has a much more matte finish than the rest of his body. It's like there was a clear coat or something that was applied everywhere else, but missed there. I'm attaching a pic, hopefully it illustrates this.

Between the issues with the light up, foam being fused to Godzillas foot, and potentially an issue with the paint on Kong, it seems like I may be looking at trying to get a replacement dio.

Tested all the buildings using some scrap wire to make the connections, and all of them work. No internal problems, so it is just the connections from the base to the buildings. When I put the one with the prime 1 logo on it in, it actually ended up making connection and is working, but two that still don't. The building on Kongs portion really doesn't fit well either, it rocks back and forth. For the price tag on this thing some of these quality issues are troubling.

Yeah they either missed it or it's supposed to be a different color of fur? Does it match the other arm? Can't really tell by your pics.

That royally sucks about the light issues. I haven't plugged my Godzilla bust in since I bought it though I do like the idea I could . P1 used to just slip up in paint now it seems like it's paint, sculpting and electrical issues. I hate to say it but it might be time to start looking elsewhere.
