Enterbay - 1/4 scale RoboCop 3

[SAB]

Dude, from my experience their Battle Damaged T-800 is the one suffering from the most problems.

ah sorry, wasn't trying to discount your experience, just hadn't seen that later batches were experiencing problems.
Normally with Enterbay (and others) its the early batches that may have an issue that is later corrected. I hadn't kept up to date and seen that the BD T-800 was seeing later batches with QC issues!

Well to be fair, to all the non-mandarin speaking members that saw the video.

The guy did say he removed the head, and inserted it back improperly.

So say for example, it can turn Left / Middle / Right. He placed the head facing the middle when the socket/motor was already positioned to the Right, so all the motor could do was turn back to the middle and right only.

Correct, I can not speak Mandarin Thanks for that.

Is this figure made entirely of plastic? Any diecast like the HT version?

 

[Mr Walker]

I have The first Terminator 2, the Battle damaged Terminator, The Joker and Rambo. None have QC issues. You can be smug when and if you are proven right.

Shall do....

The bloody finger just broke off in the guys hand! How long do you think the electronics are going to last?

Not to mention the leg doesn't open properly (presumably due to the gimmicky electronics), so if that's so, not only are these adding cost, and increasing chances of QC issues, these gimmicks are impinging upon accuracy.

Just be prepared.

X3 Enterbay here, t-800, BD t-80 & t-1000. None with QC problems. All ordered direct from Enterbay.

All I can say is consider your self lucky.

Well to put things in perspective, Enterbay's 1/4 HD line has been largely QC free. They seem to put more effort into this line, perhaps because of the much higher price.

SAB apart from the MIB figures the 1/4 scale is the worst line for QC problems that is why when I asked Popcultcha are you getting the BD Terminator in a few months ago they told me no because they refused to order in anymore 1/4 scale EB figures since they have never seen a company with so many QC problems. Looks like they have changed their mind now since T-1000 is up for preorder.

1) The first T-800 had a leg joint problem but this was easily self corrected.
2) A few people got slightly warped Batman heads but it was a very small minority.
3) Joker was largely perfect though some reported the face paint did rub off.
4) Rambo had some shoulder joint issues with seams and joins at the chest.
5) Battle Damaged Terminator has had no real problems reported at all (to my knowledge)
6) Way of the Dragon Bruce Lee had similar issues with to Rambo at the shoulder/underarm seam

Not sure about the others but the Joker is one of the worst figures for QC problems. These things range from the short leg syndrome, sticky paint, torn clothing due to the poor quailty paper thin material, rattling parts inside the list goes on.

Later on people are starting to report issues with the first Terminator's shoulder wearing out and being unable to hold poses properly.

Yeah and now some people are replacing the arms of their T-800 with arms from the BD T-800 because apparently after a while the arms break, that is why they can't hold poses correctly. One person just had his figure in the same pose for months and one day moved the arm and it snapped off. This is a common problem because apparently the screws are too small in the shoulder joint.

All in all largely QC free compared to some of the shockers that have happened in their 1/6 line.
Also this doesn't have a rubber chest sleeve which is 100% where the Rambo and Bruce Lee issues come from (and has been sighted in ALL companies that use the rubber chest for shirtless looks)

Enterbay are notoriously hard to deal with when you have a problem. I received a 1/4 Bruce Lee with a shockingly badly done underarm seam and when provided with photos and a write up their response was 'its supposed to be like that' which was absurd.

That preview/review video pretty clearly showed Robocop's head wouldn't turn right (or left to the viewer) properly and the finger broke off when touched. Might be isolated.

Just be aware if you choose to order that while Enterbay are the ones that push the market forward with new ideas .... they can also be happy to shrug and wash their hands of any problems when some of those new ideas are plagued with problems.
...and this is both their first attempt with metal and their first attempt with complicated electronics....

Just my 2cents for those concerned.

SAB u need to look more into the EB threads you will find that the 1/4 line is the worst for QC problems overall. Sorry for rambling on but I really like the look of 1/4 EB figures and thus, I desire them but going by my personal experience and the amount of complaints by others I try to avoid this company if I can resist how nice looking their figures look like this Robocop is!

Oh that sucks man, I didn't think there were too many problems with EB Batman. What problems did you have?

 

[RagingBull]

****ing me. I thought this was a day one PO but it's £500 on CDUK. I'm still waiting for OSB to put his up.

I know this is 1/4 scale but have figure prices really risen that much over the past 12 months since I last bought one

 

[Eamon]

If this is more that £350-£380 I am not getting it.

 

[Wanderer]

Here you. $500 does not equate to £500. If the UK sellers are asking for daft money like that they can do one.

Sweet! thanks for posting. He looks a little under painted in some of these pics.

What do you guys think?

I'm late to the party but Burke?
That's dissapointing for me, this has shot from the top of my want list down to the bottom. I was looking forward to seeing the Weller likeness.

It doesn't look that great in those pictures to be honest. It lacks that realism of EB's other HD masterpieces. The Hot Toys diecast version looks much better than this imo and for a better price. The price for this figure isn't going to be cheap that's for sure, it'll probably land around £400-500. I also have an issue with the proportions.. something about isn't quite right.

Yes I had heard of the leg problems with Joker, forgot that one. Hadn't heard of the clothes tearing.
I mentioned the long term shoulder problems on the T-800.

To be clear, I wasn't defending Enterbay, just trying to give what I thought was a general breakdown of the 1/4 line so far. I obviously missed a few !
All these companies need to be driven hard to clean up QC by us voting with our wallets.
To be honest it annoys me greatly when I see people here continuing to buy knowing in advance they may have QC issues.

As I stated (and the same in the 1/4 Bruce Lee thread), I experienced issues on that, and due to Enterbay's response I wouldn't consider purchasing another 1/4 figure from them. I don't care how good it is.

And to be clearer, there is simply no way this Robocop won't have a spate of QC issues due to new production materials and electronic wiring. Its guaranteed issues there. The only debate is how wide spread they will be. 1% of 50% ?

And Enterbay's responses will be what they always are = ignore, deny and for huge problems, demand that you send back the whole product ...which for a 1/4 collectible means a large shipping cost - which they won't refund you for.

The finish on the armor looks very dull. These pics aren't filling me with much confidence.

 

[David]

Yeah, the colour is dissapointing in the previous link. Although, it looks slightly more convincing here :

Diecast? I thought it was plastic. Where did you hear it was diecast?

 

[Ash Housewares]

Second set of pics look better. Thanks for posting. No denying the helmet and face sculpts look great. Proportions look good.

Man, what did Bill say?
Paintjob from a high quality mobile phone painting company, or something like that?
Regarding this...that looks dull.
I mean...great...but...Murphy just isn´t only silver...there´s this hue of silver, blue and purple totally missing and that´s what´s him...
