AtsunomeHi MFC, a question mixed with a mini rant roday!
What’s that one figure which you love, but is such a pain to set up / maintain.
For me it has to be my Snow Miku 2020 Nendoroid (ITEM #821402) who is absolutely adorable, but ABSOLUTELY INFURIATING to set up.
See, this Nendoroid seems fine on the surface, but if you’ve owned her at any point, you know how ridiculously fragile she is.
You try to put her on her stand, and since it doesn’t fit very well, you accidentally knock her hat off trying to adjust it!
Then, while you’re putting her hat back on, one of the little ribbon things falls off of her dress!
So, as you’re awkwardly trying to cram your hand behind her giant twintails, the horn she’s holding falls off!
Trying to put that back onto the very small connection point will almost always result in her entire hand falling off, and a huge amount of frustration.
Not to mention the fact that Yukine doesn’t seem to want to go on his stand, so you have to spend a great deal of time putting that part together.
I’m not even exaggerating, it took me well over 30 minutes just to get her into this pose: PICTURE #2852780
So yeah, cute Nendoroid, but INFURIATING to set up.
I mostly just keep her in this pose PICTURE #2765394 now, because it’s the least likely to spontaneously fall apart.
So yeah, that was my answer! Thank you for reading!
Do you have any figures like this, if so, please share them in the comments!

I feel you! I have this problem with all the Fire Emblem nendoroids, but Marth is probably the worst ;A;
ITEM #166616 her arrow is a pain to put in her bow... every now and them I am tempted to glue it on the bow... I think one day I will do it! XD
The worst fucking pain I ever had with a scale was ITEM #805856's base. I love her to death, she is nearly perfect, but her base is a fucking nightmare. You can read the comments under her entry to see all forms of problems with her base, but for me the pegs were so hard to put in and I was really scared to either break them or the mirror base and I dread the day I have to disassemble it. She was still worth every penny and I still recommend going through this pain for her.
I love how someone didn't even dare putting the main peg all the way in and just left the other out in her newest pic: picture/2896349...
Big agree on the Yoshino nendo. I have it too and it was very annoying to pose her.
I'm not sure why ITEM #9365 is classified as prepainted, she's way closer to a trading figure because she's very small and comes in many parts. All my older trading figures will crumble if you look at them wrong, but this one's the worst by far. You have to push the tail in first, then manoeuvre the left side of her hair behind it and the right side over it to pop her head on, and then try and push the tail in securely from behind the hair, which is an impossible task because the tail socket is so loose. Truly infuriating.
tbh all nendoroids are annoying to set up, which is mostly why I've stopped buying them..
ITEM #675949, Aniplex Zero Two, was hard to get on the base for the places for her feet go being too far apart, but by design. Very nerve-wracking, making it difficult in a way, to space her legs enough.
Another one is ITEM #689124 (yep, Miku again). This one, her hands, accessories, etc. are really easy to put together but oh God, her hair. Her head is SO HEAVY. If I don't support her hair somehow, her head tilts back and it really makes me worry about maintaining the neck joint :s And they always get in the way when I'm trying to pose her, as if her huge-ass dress isn't big enough.
Miku, I love you, but do something about your hair. lol.
