Crappy Medicom and their fragile figures

[denger4000]

So yesterday I pick up my medi Fett and realize his leg is very loose, which I'm sort of annoyed about but then on further inspection I see that it's not loose, it's completely off. The out fits so snug it's holding the leg there, which is good and bad, Good because I can display him and no one would know the difference bad because the outfit is hard if not impossible to get off so I can the damage and possibly fix him. This just annoys me, nothing that has happened to that figure should of made his leg come off, I think after my Hannibal gets here I'm done with medicom.

actually i have only had bad luck once with this company. i like there vcd vinyl figures more.But i also am going to stop going after there 12 inch figures after my hannibal gets here too.
i am just downsizing my collection...

I can relate about the leg. (happened to me on a few figs) But it's been said that medicom has strengthened their plastic as of late aka with the peter parker figure i noticed it was very strong.. I know some people emailed them and complained last year...Hope they took notice. It's really my only complaint about the companys products, i love medicom but the fragile bodys gotta get sorted out.

(and on a figure as awesome as boba i bet it stings even more) goto medi-world and check out the sticky on how to fix em if you can't figure it out yourself, lotta helpful folks there.

The Fett outfit is actually pretty easy to take off.

Same thing happened with the arm on my Sam the hobbit figure from sideshow. Say what you want about the Buck (and I'm as sick of it as anyone), it's very sturdy. Can't say the same about a lot of the newer bodies.

I have a lot of issues with the ankles breaking on my Medicom figures. But the post on my rocket on my Fett also broke off. I was able to glue that so you can only tell upon very close inspection. I like the Medis. But I hope the brittle plastic issue does get sorted out or I will switch to buying one of each, even the troop-buliders, and keep them in the box.

Same thing happened to me with my boba fett figure. Picked him up to change his pose and noticed his leg was loose. And then moved it a slight bit, then felt the whole thing had come off. SUCKS...........My Jango figure also had his holster belt strap break off....glued that back together though. Real pain the arse though....expecially when you pay 150+ for a figure.

really? how so?

Remove backpack, remove vest, remove jumpsuit. The groin armor slides down with the rest.

You've spoken ill of Medicom and shall now feel the wrath of the medifolk.

I'M KIDDING

 

[hairlesswookiee]

I wouldn't say a lot but more then once or twice.

Luckily no breakage issues with my Medicom figures... but it sounds like I dodged a few bullets

 

[Cryoguns]

I've had some little bits and pieces come apart (Boba's wookiee braids and jetpack antennas come to mind), but thankfully no body breakage at this point.

Medicom's brittle body has always been an issue, I like Medicom and have a few minor mishaps with my figures but nothing major. Of late, their newer figures all have much sturdier plastic & feel less brittle.

Hopefully that means they have finally taken note of the feedbacks & complaints and lets just hope they keep improving!

You're lucky. atleast boba's got zippers, snaps, and velcro. I've dealth with a broken vader, Comic spider-man ( both red and blue, and black versions) Movie parker, and a stormtrooper.

 

[mosaicsquare]

we've all been there the work ethics at medicom's quality control must be lost ... almost all of their products are fragile.

 

[Sniper33]

the only thing that has broken so far on my fett was one of the knee darts (fixed). Well the head doenst really pop onto the neck all to well and can fall off while moving the helmet. I only own two other medi figures (Zombie Snake and Shock Trooper), and so far those are still good.

 

[Mooncat]

Gotta a few Medi figures and touchwood none of them have fallen apart yet, they are just too damn short and expensive for my ongoing purchases

Where's Chavez when there's a Medicom argument to be had?

Come to think of it, where's Chavez in general?
