Statue Blitzway- Bruce Lee 40th Anniversary Tribute Statue (1/3 Scale)

[SAB]

Guys, if you watch the vid, the magnet side doesn't stay connected to the armpit well enough. Seems like the magnet isn't strong?

I don't believe this is the case. Can't know for sure but it seems he MIGHT be putting the wrong part of the chucks under the armpit.

 

[SAB]

So I unscrewed the nunchuck with the magnet inside. It was able to stick to the armpit. As soon as I screw the nunchuck case back on it's not strong enough to stick. Arghh !!!

I didn't think there was a magnet in the screwable end?
The magnet is in the end that doesn't unscrew (or do they both unscrew?).
The end that unscrews is to get it in and out of the hand.

From your video, it looks like you might have the nunchucks too far back (as in the magnet is closer to the 'rope end' than the end with the black stripes)
(also make sure the material is flat under his armpit so folds/creases don't get in your way)

Have a look at review videos on youtube (and pics here!) and see where others have the chucks placed and how it sits quite a way back into the armpit, with the rope end only having a little bit of chuck poking out from under the pit.

Good luck! Hope you can get it working.

Call me crazy but maybe having the hand that holds the chucks connected to the arm may "boost" the magnet strength?

I know, I know seems far out. But worth a shot.

That's physically impossible, magnets work on - and + attraction, adding something downstream won't increase magnetism unless its an energized coil with leads going to the magnetic end of the nun-chuck.
The only way to boost this piece's magnetism is to replace the magnet inside the nun-chuck or the statue itself with a higher powered earth magnet. Besides that the problem most likely lies in the space between magnets due to material and polystone covering the statued magnet.

Yes I know. But I prefer to think out the box as you never know. But yeah. May be a material issue.

I actually ordered this a couple weeks ago, received an email that they would send me a paypal invoice and still haven't received it...guessing they forgot? Previously the size was questionable on this for me, but now after reading this I think it will be a pass.
What's everyone's thoughts on the Enterbay 1/4's, not the one that can be posed but the Enter the Dragon or the 70th anniversary Lat Pose. I want a Bruce Lee statue, just not sure which one to get now.

EB ETD if it's between those two.

I hear ya and most likely just a weak magnet. A magnet can be recharged by rubbing it across a very strong magnet, it will realign the magnetic domains inside the weak magnet.

Thank you sir.

Yeah I did try that as well.

I've uploaded another video showing the unscrewed nunchucks connecting to the armpit, and then not connecting when the case is screwed back on.

Hi
the part that u can screw out, is for palm, not for armpit.

 

[aeumuse]

The nunchuck with the removable end is for easy sliding into his hand, the other nunchuck that doesn't have a removable base should go to the armpit. Mine sticks firmly with the armpit at the top segment of that nunchuck. His arm shouldn't fall off that easily too. You've definitely received a bad one, one that has a very weak magnet at his right bicep. Hope you get yours sorted out soon.

This is what I keep saying ....I'm not sure why he keeps replying to other people and ignoring me ...he only has 3 posts here, have I already been put on ignore

I know what you guys are trying to say:
- The one that can unscrew goes in the hand.
- The one that can't unscrew goes in the armpit.

However with mine it seems to have the opposite effect:
- The one that can unscrew sticks to the armpit when the case is off as you can see in the video. I can feel the magnet force but as stated its not strong enough.
- The one that can't unscrew, well when I place it at the armpit I don't feel any magnet force at all.

Can you try and unscrew your nunchucks and see if it sticks to the armpit? Just wondering if it was meant for the hand, why does my one stick to the armpit.

Whatever rocks your boat man. I'm just saying I doubt Arnie or Blitzway would make a mistake such as putting a wound (screen accurate or not) on Bruce's right cheek when there wasn't.

Dunno about you guys, I have Bruce on my table & I'm loving him more with each passing day. I hope you get yours very soon mrchris, even if you feel his expression lets you down, the presentation of this piece as a whole is simply so outstanding that he may just grow on you more as it did with me.

Oh yeah I wasn't disagreeing, I just said I personally didn't notice the bruise on Bruce's right cheek in the film before u pointed it out.

Sucks how that happen man, shame u didn't leave the decals on their first before trying to put the nunhucks under his arm. That way u would be able to rule out if u had the wrong ones in or not. As SAB said the top part of the nunchuks (where the rope is) sticks in the arm pit. Have u tried the top part on the other nunchuk stick? I ask this because in the video u didn't try to use the other one, u kept using the same nunucku stick which is for the hand. In this pic it is the top part of the nunchuku stick that is sticking to the arm pit.

Because both the armpit and hand part of the nunchucks have magnets.

Yeah I just tried it again now, I definitely feel no magnet force. I think it that end of the nunchucks has no magnet inside. Hopefully Popcultcha can replace it for me.

Thanks for all the help guys.

At some point in the video it looks like the nunchuck are being "forced" out by the magnet, which could indicate that they are not installed correctly.
Is there a way to flip one of the magnets?

That nunchuck (screwable) that looks like it's being forced out is for the hand, as mentioned by others. The other end of the nunchuck doesn't seem to have a magnet installed at all.

They should be able to replace it since these are still in stock there. My advice to you would be to either have Popcultcha un box the statue (which is a pain in the neck) and try out the statue or when u get your replacement just don't take off the decals that show u which nunchuku part goes where so if they don't work again, then u know for sure it is a faulty design.

That's a nice shot of the profile. :

U say it doesn't seem to have but since u used the word "seem" it sounds like u are not completely sure. Have you checked the other whole nunchuku from top to bottom and tried sticking it on something else other than the statue to see if magnetizes to that like something metal? I mean I think u should exhaust every avenue before you return the statue to Pop because it's so huge and a real pain to ship it back or take it back to the store directly, whatever your case might be.
