    Poor Japanese Dukemon. At least you fixed him. Its surprising to see that the US version actually lasted longer than its Japanese counterpart.
    If I want to display a Dukemon figure.. I tend to go for my Digiwarrier. ( I don't have the D Art) Its a decent figure.. just doesnt transform!
    Edit: The yellow plastic degradation happened to my original Garurumon figure. His chest has gone yellow. Luckily I own another but its the one from my childhood so I kept him

    Never thought that I'd see Actar nearly lose his temper. Understandable, given that Japanese figures had a reputation to uphold but the Japanese Dukemon figure literally shattered expectations.

    I remember watching the review when it came out and the Dukemon from your ShineGreyMon review and I thought that the plastic yellowing was the end of it... I was clearly wrong, I wonder if there was talks in the planning stages to change the plastic they were using so the figure didn't cripple itself over time, chrome at least doesn't functionally kill the figure only cosmetically but the plastic is definitely a deal breaker

    "It's never really going to get made is it"
    -cries in many languages-
    Also, I didn't know that the chrome in the japanese version degraded as well. Mine is still holding up fine. The white plastic however... I've acquired more than one of it from various auction sites, and I can atest that while new, unopened ones pop up every now and then, they are all unfortunately yellowed, some more than others. I've tried the famous peroxide method on it, and while it does lessen the issue, it never returns the figure to the original white color.
    The knee joints getting brittle is also true, and in fact the very first figure I got broke there. The fact it's necessary for the transformation doesn't help, either.
    Imo, the "perfect" gallantmon figure would be a mix of both: the japanese mold but using the american white plastic and painted ponytail. I also like how the american version added guilmon's heel, rotating yellow shoulder pieces and pegs on the shield, all things that could have been made in the JP version as well (yes, the shield pegs do look a bit unsightly but at least you'd have no leftover parts).
