mine looks fine. the nice thing about the PG gundam is that some of the gaps
caused when the pieces go tpogether make really nice panel lines

while it sure feels hevy like a toy. it is most defintly a model the
movement and posebility is insane but some of the joints (hips and sholders)
can get loose with repeated movement.

I owuln't think so besides wear on the plastic pins from taking it apart and
puttign it back to gether repeatedly
>c) Any other potential problems I should know about?
nothing special the only problemi had was wihtt he screws. I being
non-fluent in japanese had a tought time making sure i was using the correct
screws because the ony difference between some of the screws is color
(chrome vs matte black)

>d) What about the Zaku/Char Zaku?
don't have one yet couln't tell you
personally think that The PG is a great model simply for it's size and
detail
