Yah.. . but it is mixed with a 4000K one for the secondary light. Might need to get another one to replace it later.

Man, this sucks. My Shuraki 5 Rize PVC's left leg peg hole broke D:
No idea how it happened, I've been having it on display in my enclosed shelf ever since I received it. Now the whole weight of the figure is focused on the right leg, and I can't seem to remove the broken plastic base peg out from the left foot hole.

But it's this part as seen circled. Her base isn't flat (or made of hard plastic, for that matter), it's possible that that's putting extra stress on that peg and has caused the plastic to fatigue and break off. Anyone here have the other Shuraki figures care to tell if the base of the other figures are made of the same soft plastic as Rize's?

Not really, must have overlooked using it...
But i intended to shoot Yuna's pix in a slightly blurry state so that she won't look too "toy-ish"... How was the pix, btw?

Well, i think the material used for plastic pegs are roughly the same. Most probably the pegs cant withstand the figure weight. My Yamato's 1/7 Sonsaku Hakufu (the high kick pose one) pegs also broke, due to to the uneven weight distribution of the figure (mine was only a single peg)

Hopefully Tamiya's plastic cement (don't have a superglue around) will make it stay there forever, after leaving to dry for a whole day or two.

Mei Feng is much more stable, and her rod is metal if i remember correctly and goes in deeper as well. Problem with Rize is her skirt is very heavy, probably safer to display her in battle damage haha

If i'm not mistaken, recent standing-on-one-leg-figure's leg are actually made of ABS plastic (a type of hard plastic), so there's no risk of leaning, but may have risk of peg breaking (especially if the peg is not metal)
