I agree: the loose knee pad pieces are fiddly. I've dropped them on the floor in the process of posing. Fortunately, it's easy to reattach them gently, but better would have been to integrate the knee pad into the knee joint as a single piece of plastic. There are times when the best solution for a figure requires sacrificing a little 'screen accuracy.' The flexible plastic for the wrist guards is kind of annoying, too. Again, better would be to integrate the wrist guards directly into the mold for the hands. It's still my favourite figure, though.

I understand that the folks at Revoltech make good collector-quality figures, although they frequently distort body proportions as a way of 'leaving their stylized mark' on licensed characters. Judging by their popularity, the stylization appeals to many collectors.

I'd like to see more models by Figuarts. If sales for this Mark 43 are strong, maybe they'll consider it.
