The wiring might be the way to go with regards to him. He's a little tricky to balance to get to stand but one he is standing, he's usually good. If it really continues to bug me, I may buck up the courage and give the wiring a go.

I had the sneaking suspicion that it was the joint design that makes him do the leg splay bit it's nice to have it confirmed (more or less). Even though he's made by the same company as Moswen and Jaiseki, the way the body is put together is very different. That's fine as technically, Kijika is a different species. It just takes a little getting used to when I have double joints in my MSD's and my SD doesn't (in the knees at least). He's also only got the hip joint where Moswen and Jaiseki have a hip and upper chest joint. But the body is just right for the look of Kijika as a character so I can't complain.

See, I hadn't thought of the colour change element for the blue resin. Mostly because I don't do anything like that. If you don't mind me asking, how are you going to protect your paint job when you're done? Is just a few good coats of Mr. Super Clear gonna do it? I know I have to be careful with Moswen's body-up to keep from scratching/rubbing off his striping.
