And you know what that means: time to hamhand everything to pieces while trying to disassemble them for “safe” packing. Ha! This year’s victim: a damn Kong.
So those painted shoulder pieces—when you put them on, they stay put on! Ironically, I was being extra careful with this one, since I got a mild stress fracture on the other side trying to pry it apart. After much gentle prying, this one came undone too fast for my hamhands to react, and then…
Interestingly enough, they JUST announced a HMM Karl-Kong. It’s almost glorious enough to make me forget about the horrible experience I had with the first HMM Kong. Almost. If there is some kind of announcement of improving the problems of the first one (like they did with the Geno Saurer variants), I may have to start saving. Until then…
Remember when I built a HMM Berserk Führer? Wasn’t that fun? Yeah, I still don’t have pics or a review up.

Ah, moving is always fun. (Not.) At least yours broke BEFORE you “carefully” packed it. My last moving victim: OJR Gunbluster. I disassembled it, Ziploc baggied it, wrapped it in bubble wrap, AND newspaper lined its tote. Unpack it later, and those little hoses behind the gradeup symbols had snapped off. I glued them back, but still…..
