Changes
Support Arm
The new support arm facilitates easier assembly and posing, as well as interference with the figure. The new design is also more compact and allows for more articulation that the original design.
● Chamfered to reduce contact with the figure
● Screw size reduced to reduce contact with the figure
● Rotation axis added to increase range of motion
● Slit added to increase range of motion

Base
The new base has been reduced in thickness by 34% and contains 8 support arm holes instead of the original 13. This is to allow the base to be more inconspicuous for a more seamless display.
● Thickness reduced from 8mm to 5.3mm
● Number of holes reduced from 13 to 8

● Please note that we will not be able to respond to inquiries about if an order will be shipped with the old or new support arm, base and joint parts.
● Batches of the same product (identical character/identical product number) that are shipped at the same time will contain the same support arm, base and joint parts.
● For rereleased products, please note that the same product (identical character/identical product number) may contain a mix of old and new support arm, base and joint parts. (1*)
(1*) Example: products from the original run in November 2023 containing the old support arm, base and joint parts, while the November 2024 rereleased version contains the new support arm, base and joint parts.
