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

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.

Well then I'm glad I cancelled, and to think I was regretting it

Isn't that "deformed" piece just soft malleable rubber? If rubber is held in a squished up shape for a while it will keep that shape. As for the joint heating up from friction by moving the arm, lol. That's just plain stupid.

I didn't originate that theory. Go tell it to Optibotimus.

I didn't say you did... I just said it was stupid.

It's a great-looking figure, but there's just too many QC issues to recommend it.

It's like driving the Death Road, every twist and turn could lead to disaster.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

My theory is there are only a handful of defective figures but at least two or three handfuls of detective collectors with the figure...

 

[YankeesFanboy]

It's been a pretty widely-reported problem. It was delayed and HT supposedly fixed it. You don't think these guys are being extra careful with this figure?

There have only been like five reports of the cracked shoulder. The arm popping off and snapping off are two different things. People on here always break their figures and blame hot toys. Not all, but some of the issues are certainly caused by the owner or are simply because the owner doesn't know what they're taking about.

Sideshow still has a ton of these to ship out. I guess we'll see.

You should make a "Hot Toys for Dummies" book, nick.

Now that more people have the figure in hand i wanna ask again. Anyone else have this problem of the hip extender not fully collapsing when the legs are straight?

 

[youbastards]

Go tell it to Optibotimus.

The right arm on the my figure is really loose and the left one is tight, im scare that the loose arm will break. any one else having this problem or any solutions? right now im just not gonna mess with his arms anymore.

The right arm on my figure is tight as well but i just grab it closer to the shoulder joint when rotating and so far no problems.

 

[BatBrain]

Gee all these QC issues and delays have me really fired up for this figure now.

 

[HYMN]

This figure has a lot of issues. I hope the next AOU version (same armor with different color scheme) will be much more improved.

Mine turned out just fine.... [emoji51]
