Reader’s Question:
Is my Nendoroid defective because it won’t stand properly? Am I attaching the support incorrectly? The front end of the support is narrow, and it only fits about halfway in. When I try to stand the Nendoroid up, it just spins around. If anyone knows how to fix this,
I would really appreciate your help.
Is My Nendoroid Defective? Let’s Figure This Out Together!
Hey there! So, I was just scrolling through some forums, and I came across your question about your Nendoroid not standing properly. I can totally relate! There was a time when I bought my first collectible figure, and I was so excited to display it. But lo and behold, it wouldn’t stand upright—just like your Nendoroid! It felt like my heart sank a little. I mean, who wants to see their prized possession topple over every time they walk by? From what you described, it sounds like you might be dealing with a couple of potential issues. The narrow front end of the support could indeed be the culprit. If it only fits halfway in, that’s definitely not ideal. I remember when I was trying to set up my figure, I thought I was doing everything right, only to realize that I had the stand attached incorrectly. It was a bit of a comedy of errors, honestly! I ended up watching a bunch of tutorial videos, and, spoiler alert, they all had me doing the same exact thing wrong! Your friend’s suggestion about checking if the support rod is defective is a good one. If you’ve searched online and didn’t find anyone else with the same issue, it might be worth reaching out to the manufacturer directly. I did that once with a different collectible, and you wouldn’t believe how responsive they were! They even sent me a replacement part free of charge. It was like Christmas in July! Also, definitely take a peek at the instruction manual. While it might seem like a chore, I found that sometimes they have those little nuggets of wisdom that can save the day. I once missed a tiny step about adjusting the angle of the base, and that made all the difference. And hey, if you find yourself getting a little frustrated, just remember: these things can be finicky! It’s all part of the charm, right? I mean, it just adds character to the whole experience. So, if you have any fun or frustrating stories about your Nendoroid or other collectibles, I’d love to hear them! Let’s figure this out together! Best of luck, and may your Nendoroid stand proudly on display soon!
