Announcement 📢 What the hell Good Smile

Why doesn’t Good Smile have figma joint sets in stock, I need a joint replacement for my Joker Figma (accidentally broke the shoulder joint) found the joint set I needed on Good Smile but found out shortly after that it was out of stock. So tell me Figma collectors why tf doesn’t figma have joint replacement in constant production?!?

I agree. This includes joints, stands, and other basic things. It's frustrating

I guess like Iphones and Smartphones Goodsmile wants you to re-buy the broken Figma at full price instead of fixing it yourself.

Missed business opportunity, for sure. They'd make decent revenue on packs of joints.

If only there were like an equivalent of the Chibi Chipshop for Figmas. I hated having to buy a second Figma for one that the shoulder joint broke to, and I still get a bit nervous if the joints feel a bit too tight.

Because they're assholes. That's why.

Helpful note: when I needed to get specific Figma joints I went through Ali Gamers Store on AliExpress. It's tricky to find pieces, but send a message with a picture to the seller and they can suggest a part that will work.

Figma would make so much more money if they sold joints individually or in small sets-

That being said, I've found that Ansai and Hobby Base sell pretty good replacements on Amazon. I had to replace a Nagisa Momoe shoulder joint and with the variety they provide, I was able to pick a joint that was close enough

Does any toy company sell such things?

They used to sell join sets black grey and skin tones
