1/6 Hot Toys - MMS308 - Ant-Man: Ant-Man Collectible Figure

[TräshCät]

You bet!!

Got him yesterday but I was too busy fangirling over him and keeping him safe from my bf's grabby hands that it was already to dark to take pics of him. :3 Took a quick shot before leaving for work now and DAMN! I love that guy! The figure is brilliant and I can't wait to do pose after pose until I find the perfect one. *__* The helmet is so gorgeous! My bf loves it too and he can't wait to test the led light. I just wonder, do you guys leave the batteries in or do you take them out?

Great photo. I would say take them out or check them every so often. They can leak.

WOW! Excellent shot -- looks like a movie still.

I still can't get the helmet off to install the batteries. It's on there tight. I need to use a 'tool' of some kind I think... but really nervous about busting something.

Just grab the figure by the legs and swing downward so that the head/helmet strikes a hard surface (such as a kitchen counter or an anvil) and the helmet should pop off easily.

Thanks guys! Well, to be fair, I think it's nearly impossible to take a bad pic of this guy coz damn, he's so photogenic! It's so much fun shooting him. The face is amazing and the chrome parts look great in every light! *_* I can't even complain about the limited articulation coz he's just so well made and I'd rather have a head sculpt as spot on as this one here than super articulation. I'm used to non-articulated figures anyway so he's loads more than what I usually get.

Now I'm a bit nervous about the battery, Wor-Gar! ^^'' I hope the helmet of my figure won't be as restive as yours! I might try it tomorrow, not feeling brave enough right now. Anyway, I'll take Motuxmen's advice and not leave the batteries in.

Now I hope, everyone who's still waiting on their Ant-Man gets him asap! You're gonna love him!

Most of the time with my figures, I'll install the batteries once when I first get the figure to see what the light up function(s) look like, but then I'll summarily remove them before placing the figure in the cabinet for display. I'm not constantly going to be turning the light up function on and off (for most figures, it's a bit of a pain to do so, anyway) and I don't want them to potentially leak.

If you fear you might break something trying to force the batteries in, then I wouldn't do it. I'd rather have an intact figure that I can display than one that I broke just because I wanted to see it light up for a moment.

It worked!!! Glad I had an anvil laying around from my Acme days.

Great pictures, bud.

He kind of looks like Robocop in that second picture with the way his mask is halfway down.

I leave batteries in the figure all the time. I have never faced any issues. Figures are for fun and museum poses. If the feature dies out be it. I don't believe in "resale value approach" so like it's said - it's Better to have loved and lost rather than never loved at all
I love the figures. Leave the batteries in them and put them on from time to time when I have guests at home or just some random Friday night when drinking scotch and admiring my collection.

got my figure today,and it looks awesome! great,just great.just one thing annoys me:i cant open the battery case,the screw is so tight,it wont move one bit but otherwise,this is a winner

 

[Wor-Gar]

So besides not being able to open the battery hatch... I might also not be able to unscrew the screw?

 

[krieg-der-sterne]

well,i figured out how to open the helmet,its not that hard,but this screw is a killer

 

[Wor-Gar]

What was your trick?

 

[krieg-der-sterne]

a pocket knife,a little twist at the side of the helmet,and voila,of it came!but this damned screw just refused to move
