As always, the harsh lighting that Andy uses for his reviews is very unforgiving, showing every flaw, something I appreciate every time.

Looks to me like the example reviewed this time is pretty representative of REBOR's factory QC. I notice a couple of the seams are pretty stark, especially the seam at the back of the skull, and the knee on the left leg. The paint looks nicely dine, no real flags pop up for me.

Real shame about the jaw on this one being slightly tweaked, resulting in the folded tooth, and the crooked grin the dinosaur has by the end of the review. I noticed that the lower jaw was pretty far out of line right from the start, perhaps incorrectly installed by the factory.

Yeah, this review helped solidify my decision to cancel the one I had on pre-order. Not today, Satan.  :))

Just got the notification that mine was processed from BBTS! They're now in stock but only the substandard version. Cheapest option if you are in the US, and you save 3 bucks by getting a slightly damaged box.

So it appears one of my Kiss Island's arms is stuck in place while other seems to rotate fine.

Anything I can do to loosen it?

You can try hot water, mine was also stuck but got it loose with (a lot of) force holding it close to the base where it swivels.

Well I did fiddle around a bit and wiggled the arm. It somehow loosened up and now rotates fine!

I did not know the arms could move  :*D I've had the original kiss and it was so solid I didn't want to break it, I'll have to try that thanks!

All REBOR theropods have moveble (hard to say 'poseable') arms since Killer Queen and Carnotaurus Rex.
