So, are the ankles really a thing? Mine is on the way, so I’d like to be ready to fix weak ankles if necessary
 
Has anyone had an issue with particularly poor stitching on the hand-sewn side? I just received my Deadpool from Alter Ego Comics, and the sewing is so bad it created a big bunch of fabric in the back that creates a pocket where it meets the side of the torso. Apparently Sideshow told Alter Ego it was normal enough, but it really looks like crap.
 
FINALLY!!!

Sewing on the right side of abdomen on mine is bad. It's unavoidable. They rushed this out. Honestly if you don't have ankle issues like myself, and got the later batch, that's your win there.
 
Finally got my 'processing soon' e-mail from BBTS for this. Really looking forward to finally getting it.
 
Hot Toys Deadpool 3 Figures Broken Ankle Issues
Methods of fixing
1-My first method was using a third party foot peg and attach the broken bottom bit to hold the feet (Not sturdy option)
2-Second Method using Sideshow figure foot peg (Scout Trooper) plus this option is much more reliable and sturdy.
All you have to do is to trimmed down the bottom bit of the peg and tape it to thicken it for it have tight hold.

Ok, this is the Deadpool 1 version, for some reason I couldn't find the thread of that figure for the life of me lol. But I have the accessories of this new Deadpool with it so hey, I can post here 😝 plus I didn't want to put this brand new version in the snow, and this 1st version is flaking to death anyway so it was a nice sacrifice 🤣

Yes, the snowman looks demonic, with the red M&M's for eyes. it wasn't intentional but it's hilarious and I didn't feel like making another one 🤣
 
I'm about to hit my final payment on this and I am seriously thinking about canceling mine, even if the ankles are fine on arrival it seems like like it's only a matter of time before a breakage due to the inherently flawed design. It's the sort of flaw that makes me want to take a step back and skip a figure even if it's a character I really want, these things are just too expensive to get a pass on something like that, from my perspective.

I might just wait and see if they do release that battle-damaged version instead and see if they redesign the ankles for that release. I actually wouldn't be surprised if that's one of the reasons it has taken so long to go up for PO. The only thing cool about this special edition version anyway was the golden guns and you'll be able to get those easily once Nicepool hits and starts getting parted out. In fact I would even add that the special edition base is worse than just the regular version.
