1/6 Hot Toys - Iron Man 3: MMS197D02 Mark XLII Diecast Series Official Spec/Pics

[Texas Finest]

you actually don't have to pop the left arm off. all you gotta do is raise the arm enough where that inner part becomes visible.

Without popping the left arm out completely, its looks like its defected as well

Lucky lol.......Yeah with the price tag on these things nowadays they need to be perfect. Hopefully im not being too picky but I'll contact sideshow tomorrow and see what they say.

How did you move the arm? Nice and slow? Or really quickly? If it's the latter, you may have built up heat and the rubber became deformed.

Nope, doesn't seem to have it, sorry, mate.

Just moved it back and forth and up and down. Just breaking it in nothing too major. Probably like 5 seconds. If I builted up enough heat for it to deform that fast then that's ridiculous. $300 price tag and this is the quality we get SMH.

Now that we know what to look for, people should be checking that as soon as they take it out of the box.

Maybe your shoulders weren't constructed properly. Give Sideshow a call as soon as you can.

One of the arms on mine popped off last night but I just popped it right back in. Didn't look for this defect but I think it's okay. This guy looks fantastic with Iron Patriot. Wow

 

[SurlyJ]

I'm still waiting to hear from Sideshow after emailing them friday afternoon about the myriad paint problems on mine to get a refund. Hopefully they contact me tomorrow. Don't feel like having to hassle them and want my $300 back.

 

[K1NG J0RDAN]

For $309.99 I expect a flawless figure. It's sad that it took three Iron Patriot's before I got a good one, and now this guy has a few issues. Sideshow will take care of everyone, no worries there. Just sucks...

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

3 grand doesn't get you flawless collectibles, wouldn't expect them at 300 mass produced.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

A paint chip here and there, yeah, but deformed shoulder socket rings right out of the box? SMH.

The paint chipping was probably inevitable.

Your thoughts as to what happened to his figure? I'm all ears.

 

[Mr Walker]

Your thoughts as to what happened to his figure? I'm all ears.

Poor QC? Shonky workmanship? Take your pick.

I'll continue to remain very skeptical that he was moving the arm so fast as to cause enough friction to heat up the surrounding material... just no.

That's why I asked whether or not he did, I didn't assume either way. So there ya go.

 

[Brainiac]

More QC issues ??????

 

[YankeesFanboy]

More QC issues ??????

Yup. It seems that many of the figures have very stiff right arms for some reason. Or that the right arm will pop out of the socket far too easily. The former could lead to eventual breaks.
