My fiance actually suggested lacquering a tight string wrap around the wrists and then making him a pair of tekko to cover them. I don't wanna do that though; it's so...permanent. Still waiting to see what the vendor says. I may use electrical tape, but I'm not going to move him until I'm ready to work on him, so I don't think the splits will get worse...

Quick update, guys!

I just got an email back from the vendor telling me he's going to look into replacement arms for me. I'll let you know what he finds!

Thanks guys! ^^ Over on Triad's forum someone told me it's a pretty common problem. x.x So I'm going to fix his current arms, see if the vendor I got him from can get some replacements and get an Obitsu body to switch his head to if he can't to lessen further wear on his original body. Still waiting to hear if the vendor can get replacement parts.

Sorry for the hiatus all; I'm back! With updates!

I spoke with the vendor I got Jin from and he's been trying to contact Triad, but they aren't returning his calls and emails. Additionally, I've found the seams on his legs splitting now, So while I'm gluing to preserve this body, I'll be getting him an Obitsu.

I had a question too; Anybody have any experience with Crazy Owners? Some of their stuff looks pretty good, but I'd like to hear from someone who may have one of their action figures before I take the plunge.

You might try reach the owners of Traid through their forum. I hope poor Jin can be fixed. I had bought several outfits from Crazy Owners in the past. They are well made. The figures themselves are on "Dragon" like bodies and I find that they pose quite nicely. You might want to ask JanetT, Pandor and Warrior I think they have some "Dragon" or "CO" figures. :D

Thanks. ^^ I was just going to glue him and call it good, but perhaps I should try to contact Triad's owners myself. It's not like he's been abused or anything and he's very obviously falling apart. u.u

Thanks for the info! I'll have to ask them, lol. I was looking at CO's Musashi and kendoka figures as well as some of the clothing. Jin could use a change...and a new set of swords!
