The Sixshot wars seem to be on as GCreation has updated their Facebook page with flashy, fully colored shots of their upcoming project, Fuuma! This is GCreation’s take on a Masterpiece-scaled, IDW-style Sixshot, which towers over Mastermind Creations’s Hexatron, and features diecast in the calves and sword blades. Fuuma also features shuriken (ninja throwing stars), a great deal of articulation, rubber tires and tracks, and strong diecast joints!
Check out the pics after the jump, and share your thoughts in the discussion! Site sponsors have GDW-02 Fuuma up for pre-order for about $209.99 USD and is slated for release in October.

My two copies are fine, the joints are tight enough

That’s great to hear! I’ll still keep those other things in mind but I’ve been eyeing this for a while and seems worth the gamble. Much appreciated!

My Dark Fuuma reissue still be standing just fine. No issues whatsoever.

Mine is great!

Sorry to necro a bit. Is the metallic painted version worth the QC risk? So far I’m seeing loose ratchets in the hips and loose ankle joints. Is there anything else to watch out for or would not make the figure worth it?

after looking through the pictures on this thread (thanks posters!), I also just realized how overtly massive Dark Blade is. He'll tower over the rest of my figures.
I think MMC Hexatron would fit the rest of my collection better. If anyone would happen to be selling him for around $70, please message me.

For me, it feels more like a 50/50 shot after reading/watching so many reviews about him. I was really trying to avoid buying this guy because it was a hit or miss, but I caved because of how good he looks and, worst case, was prepared to buy a stand and keep him as a statue in robot-mode.
Got GDW-03M from showzstore, only had him for a few days now, but after messing around with him in robot mode, mine is solid and I have 0 issues standing him. Haven't had a chance to transform, so maybe any floppiness will become more apparent.
Read your experience with him in #1326 and that's really unfortunate. I was concerned with how securely he can hold his weapons after reading your review and watching bobbyskullface's review. Again, my copy had no issues here. In fact I was surprised at how secure it was, more than many of my other figs. Tight connection with a satisfying snap/click.
So yeah, my experiece has been positive thus far. Maybe the QC also varies depending on the production run and version (03, 03M, 03B)
EDIT: Ahh… was keeping an eye on 03M to see if it would go on sale like 03B so I could price adjust within 30 days, but it got sold out instead.

I think it's the norm, it doesn't seem like a QC thing it seems like a design thing

Floppy ankles, weak hip ratchets

What joint issues?
ArticulatedHands
hmm, wonder if there's a way to guesstimate if the joint issues that people are stating are exceptions or the norm. Dark Blade is currently $100 on ShowZ and TF Direct right now and I've very tempted

Got the metallic version of this guy. Putting QC aside if you got a lemon copy, this is the most badass looking Sixshot on the market, like, it's not even close.
Vrillon77
Ahh okay, I see, thanks. Mine should arrive in a few weeks and, to be honest, I'll probably just go through the transformations once and then leave him in bot mode as well

Ahhh hahaha it's a funny question because I have not transformed this guy once since getting him haha. I had the original and already know what his other modes are like so I just never bothered with my metallic version, so I can't truly say. However I have been messing with him in bot mode and haven't seen any paint issues yet.
Vrillon77
The metallic version looks spectacular. From your experience, does the paint seem durable, or would it be prone to chipping when going through transformations?
User_96283
Thanks bud!
BIOMEC
Looks damn good
User_96283
Yeah mines fine too. Had this guy for at least a year now as well.

Yeah, this really solidifies Fuuma as a member of the DJD….Defective Joint Division
