Gale Force Nine GF971052 D and D Kings Thunder Storm Giant Royal Guard Board Game

To begin with I will say that the sculpt is gorgeous, I do really really like the mini and am 100% happy with how the product looks, but it is a constant reoccuring problem with every Gale Force 9 miniature I buy that they just do not fit together properly at all. I constantly have to trim away plastic and create convoluted make-shift systems of supporting the pieces as they all glue together. This particular miniature does not fit together well under the arms and where the legs connect to the body from the base. When the pieces to not connect together flush you lose so much strength in the glue bonding as a smaller surface area has to hold all that weight, the end result is multiple attempts at gluing as pieces fall off and apart before you eventually end up with enough glue to keep yourself secure to the ceiling just to stop the mini leaning backwards as though it's belly laughing. I don't know where Gale Force 9 manufactures their sculpts but something is clearly going wrong in the end result for this to be a recurring problem with every mini I've got from them. 2 stars simply becauuse no others minis infuriate me to put together as much as GF9s, invest in a miniature scaffold system before purchase.
