1/6 Hot Toys – MMS - Guardians of the Galaxy: Gamora Collectible Figure

[Lumos]

Can anyone confirm if those tribal "lines" are etched in/indented or just painted on?

Don't!
Xeno said in his review, that the Hot Toys manual said don't tip/bend the arm further than, but Xeno tried to do it anyway, so It isnt like they didnt warn you.
I got some freakingly good poses out of it and mine is still fine (knock on wood, haha)

If you were careful you could have repaired the arm without tearing the skin....

I'd (like) to think articulation after Sarah Connor's arms in some ways was due to my mod...

I cannot understand why Hot Toys still insist to use that *****? This one also ruined my Hellboy figure. Rubber with metallic articulation! Hot Toys should fire the one who invented this.

Maybe HT should have gone full metal, the metal to plastic was the weak interface/connection, as was shown on Xeno's copy... the rivets gave way...

It has to be metal cause if you have thin plastic parts like that (to fit inside the rubber arm) They would just break eventually

They're just painted on

I wouldn't mind ordering this from HK now.... It may take forever for me to get it from SSC

I know. I would cancel mine and order one from Hong Kong, but I used a ton of rewards points on mine...

yikes.... no worries either way I think, unless you are impatient

I think I can wait for Gamora. Star Lord is the one I really want right now.

Yes I get more and more impatient over Starlord..... we should have gotten it last month

Just to let you know- the airmail shipments out of Hong Kong are delayed right now once they get to the US.

I ordered Gamora and Star Lord from my usual HK seller and had them shipped EMS to New York City.

The package left HK airport last Wednesday (Feb 4th) and the US Post Office tracking system still does not have the package as arriving at JFK airport in NY as of today (Feb 11th). From the HK post office website-

5 February 2015
Mail Services to the United States of America

"Due to large accumulation of mail at New York, the United States of America, mail delivery services (including Speedpost) to New York are subject to delay until further notice. Any inconvenience caused is much regretted."

Usually I get my EMS packages from HK in 5-6 days (I live in New York City) so I was concerned about where the figures were. With all the weather problems and post office delays, I don't expect to get the package at least for another 10-14 days.

So of you are located on the East Coast, be prepared for an extended wait.

I'm counting down the days till I'm in Hong Kong ! A part of me feels like I'll end up brining back ten figures which should be a nightmare taking on the plane. Gamora is a priority followed by whateve releases in two weeks. Hoping for groot and rocket

I just gotta pick up a few more figures before I move onto collecting the Guardians, hopefully by then Starlord and Gamora will be shipping and G&R will be close to shipping and Drax will be up on PO

That sculpt, so good.

 

[Phoenixblazes]

That first pose is great.

Only problem is that no way can we leave the right arm bent like that for very long.
