cleverfille (6 days ago) #40251088Potential forewarning to those who want to display her riding Hermes... I had her displayed that way with her cap + goggles on for a little less than two weeks and the connector for Hermes' tiny stand started leaning. Wish GSC had taken the time to make the stand component stronger. She's really great otherwise.

I just tried posing her on Hermes for the first time and I can see what you're talking about. The peg on Hermes' small stand is a tad too long and as a result it sticks out a couple of millimeters. This combined with how top heavy she is with her hat equipped causes Hermes to lean back on that peg.

One solution might be to cut and shorten the peg so the stand fits flush underneath Hermes. The solution I'm currently using is to just use the regular stand connector and base on Kino's back to help keep her stable while riding Hermes.

This probably isn't the right place for it, but since you love Kino as much as I do, CR's exclusive Koto set is 10% off through Tuesday!

Yeah, we've PMed each other before! =) I actually already preordered that Kino a while ago, wanted to make absolutely sure not to miss her, but I appreciate the heads up!

Celtic7Guardian (22 days ago) #39457425Enjoy them! =)

Enjoy them! =)

Celtic7Guardian (23 days ago) #39398889I just got my duo, and they're adorable! There were a couple of very tiny quality issues on Kino, only noticeable because I went over every bit of paint carefully, and Hermes looks great! While the flower preorder bonus is pretty small, I think it's cute and I'm glad I got it. I had a heck of a time with getting Kino to hold the biggest gun, but the other two were fine. She holds the flower and cup well, though unlike the pictures on the box, the mug mine has is painted in rather than having a handle separated from the cup, probably to avoid easy breaking. What I cared about most was having Kino being able to ride Hermes and that set-up was far less nightmarish than I envisioned. I'm not sure it's safe to do so without having the Nendoroid stand holding her in place while she is on Hermes, but with said stand in place, they appear to be solid in placement.
With Kino and Hermes being some of my favorites and Kino's Journey possibly being my favorite anime period, I'm very happy that the Nendoroid came out so well! Easily one of the best IMO. =)

Ahhh, got mine today, too; can't wait to open them! <3
