Yes
No
20 minutes with a screw driver last night resulted in fixed shoulders and minimal stress marks. It's not for everyone, but it was actually easier than I'd feared it would be.
To make it even easier. Pop his shoulders in a cup of boiled water first. Pin will come out easy. No stress marks
I bought one at Myer Perth CBD. There were 2 - one of each shoulder variant. So I will use Gok's mistaken yes as my yes but I won't record the bad one since I did not buy it. It's good we are getting some good shoulder copies at least. I read a rumour that Singapore and Malaysia are not getting any good ones this year and the Singapore TFW2005 sightings are showing bad copies so far.
Bought from a Toyworld the date before lockdown, it was the only one in the shop but compared to photos online the shoulders are fine. Is fine out of the box.
The easy way to check will be to see if the shoulder is fully rounded on the top, or if it has the square marks on the top.
The difference is literally measured in millimetres - both it is noticeable in both robot and cannon modes
Mine was incorrectly assembled, but no issues with just rotating the joint around.
