Asmus - 1/6 Gollum/Smeagol

[matrix69]

I’ve heard nothing yet about replacements for mine so I’ll have to wait and see.

Keep messaging them

I had to cut the pegs down behind the eyes and remove the inner casing inside the head sculpt to move the eyes this much but after that mod he looks pretty good. I tried using coal to get the smell out of his feet/hands/legs but to no avail so far. I just stacked a bunch of those coal sacks around them but maybe i should just cut one open and toss them inside.

Both figs definitely look great for sure though. I just wonder how long its gonna be till his body starts to turn blue.

Beautiful pic!

Great looking photo, AgentButterman.

You just have to let the figure degas for a while and eventually the smell dissipates.

 

[Agentbutterman]

Thank you both!

I hope the smell starts to dissipate soon its so bad. I always love that toxic new car smell from most 1/6 figs but this was just something else!

I kept reading degas like the French artist’s name and thought I was missing some clever art history pun

Beautiful pic, Agentbutterman!!

With such skill, you can make dildos look as good as Michelangelo's marble statues.
Looking forward to seeing more of your fig pics!

Add me to the list of discolored Gollum/Sméagol figures.
I hadn’t even broken the tape seals until today (got them direct from Asmus back in Feb/Mar).
What a bummer; emailed CS, hope I hear back soon.

This figure has a good character presence on a shelf, but I wish there were no problems with eyes, bent legs, and skin color.

If the charcoal didn't work, how about a box of baking soda. Am out of ideas after that except opening a window re the off-gassing. Bad enough Canada and U.S. have had waves of smoke in the atmosphere all summer now figures are trying to gas us too. Maybe sit the fig near one of those home air filters.

Asmus got back to me this morning and are sending me two new bodies to replace the discolored ones. Happy days.

It's obvious that there must have been a cock-up in whatever mix they used for the rubber parts, as it's only the arms and legs that are affected on yours. The torso looks ok.

Great, happy to hear the are sorting it out for us.

Wait a sec. Is it the arms or the body that is discoloring?

 

[scumonkey]

got my two replacement bodies from asmus...

the arms and legs are discoloured on my originals, the body still looks fine.

Mine were the arms and legs. I've seen some people's torso as well.

Thanks, Rzeznikk.
