Some of you probably saw my post on the “Your Latest Purchase” thread about getting my “Holy Grail”: The Phicen Robyn Hood.
Over the last 48 hours, every piece of pleather on this figure has begun flaking and falling off…and this figure has a LOT of pleather.
That pic was from when she arrived Thursday morning, Since then, pants, top, belt, armband on the upper right arm (you can just see the edge of it behind the hair), green forearm guards…all flaking. Everything that was glued has fallen off (collar, little black pouches on the shoulder straps).
The figure was mint in box, so basically, as soon as it came in contact with my air conditioned environment, the process began.
I’m disappointed, but I’m not angry, and I don’t blame the seller. I got it from a private seller on Yahoo! Japan Auctions, and the Japanese are generally meticulous with maintaining and storing their figures. At this point, I just have to laugh and chalk it up to being part of the hobby. I’ll make my own Robyn with what I have left (head, body, hands, quiver, bow, arrows).
