So, I recently bought the SDCC Goku Blue Kaioken SH Figuarts, and it appears to be authentic, but after handling it I ran into several issues.

&#x200B;

Both legs came apart and I had to reattach them myself. The waist joint is extremely stiff and has almost no mobility, and the torso seems to "extend" whenever I try to lean him forward or backward. I don't think that's supposed to happen, since my UI Sign Goku doesn't behave like that.

&#x200B;

Another issue is the torso paint. When I tried moving it, the paint scratched almost immediately, leaving a permanent mark on the plastic.

I'm not sure if these are known issues with this specific figure or if they can happen with SH Figuarts figures in general. I don't think it's a bootleg—the box has the official seals, it arrived sealed, included the brown shipper box, and still had the protective plastic pieces on the figure itself. The seller also claimed he bought it at SDCC and never opened it. If that's true, I'm assuming some of the joint issues could be due to the figure sitting untouched in the box for years.

&#x200B;

Given all of that, I'd appreciate some opinions. Are these problems common with this figure? Did I just get unlucky, or is there a chance I was scammed and ended up with a fake?
