I've noticed a few complaints about loose joints and using nail polish to correct it. While I haven't attacked my Fubuki yet I can that Pledge Future Shine floor polish is one of the greatest purchases anyone who owns any kind of toy with a loose joint can get. I've used it to fix who knows how many...

I know of a seller on Etsy that makes custom shinki clothes. I currently have a kimono for Fubuki and an Alice in Wonderland-style dress for MaoChao on order. I could provide a link if anyone is interested.

Where did you find the balloon and sub at? I just can't seem to find them any where. I desperately need those for the cute factor.
