Hello.

 

I recently opened a Perfect Six set and found that while it contained the expected 6 figures, only 2 of the weapons matched the figures (Harrier Hawk & King Cobra). The other 4 weapons were seemingly random Series 3 ones. Also one of the cards was missing and there was a double of another.

 

Is this normal for this set, or was I somewhat unlucky?

 

Thank you.

Was it (supposed to be) a sealed box and did you open the original tape for the first time or was it re-taped/sealed?

 

Overall the set seems to be in pretty nice condition and IF it´s been opened by you for the very first time you should´ve found the 6 weapons that were included in this set in a transparent wrapping. This was the standard random weapon pack they included with this set, they also handed these 6 weapon bags out during the promotion of the punch box. You might have seen images of the Clear Carps, or Striped Clear Carps, that could be obtained via the punch box in Japan which also had this 6 weapon baggy included. In Japan, from the beginning, most packaging types held the incorrect weapon for the figure on purpose because they wanted to enhance the power of trading amongst the kids. Together with the ID card information you could compose the strongest Beasts by providing the Beast you had with it´s own weapon. Long story, anyways when it comes to the incorrect weapons it´s actually correct and maybe you´re lucky that still 3 of them matched

 

In regards to the ID cards it´s a little bit weird and there you might´ve indeed been unlucky because normally (as far as I know) the correct cards should´ve been included with this set. So it could´ve been a packaging mistake.

 

It all comes down to whether it´s a sealed pack or not to be sure but if you´re the one who opened it for the first time they probably made a mistake with the cards during the assembling of this set.

 

When you have the Beasts all mint from that set they also should still be holding the MADE IN CHINA (中国製) underneath their feet. It´s possible some might have fallen off and are loose in the box as such.
 

Hope this answered things a bit.

Enjoy the Beasts!

Thank you for the detailed reply!

 

I do believe the box was sealed before I opened it. The weapons were in a little transparent bag and the figures have the 中国製 sticker on the bottom of the foot (actually, one was on the side of the foot).

 

The figures show no paint wear, but Harrier Hawk has a bad wing and foot. Like they were bent out of shape a little.

 

On the plus side, the King Cobra figure has slightly different coloring compared to the one I already had. See photos below (including a bonus one with a custom painted King Cobra).

 

And of course I got a Clear Killer Carp

 

Thanks again!

No problem.

 

Sounds like you did indeed have a sealed box set so you´re just a bit unlucky with the double ID card.

 

Figures like the Hawk and Flamingo are known to have some bending to them in some cases which is often (mainly) caused by the way they´ve been packed for years. It´s also the case with some of the figures you found in the Gacha eggs, Gumballs like the Giraffe and Bird are know for this as well. Normally you can warm them up a little with a hairdryer (not TOO HOT!) and bend them back in shape but in these cases with them being bend for years that probably wont work.

 

When it comes to the shade variation the armor of the Cobra it´s known that some figures that were available via box sets or for instance the Beasts that were packed in with the BB Vehicles or Play sets tend to show some different shades most likely because they´ve been painted in a different factory and the color they used in the various locations might be a bit off.

 

Clear Carp is obviously and awesome figure but the whole box set is so congrats!

 

Enjoy the Beasts!
