Hot Toys–MMS142-TRON: Legacy:Sam Flynn Cycle Spec +pics

And the worst thing is:
Still no response from Hot Toys. Actually I never got an answer of their customer support by now.

Damn. Sorry to hear that. HT better get on the stick and do right by their customers.

This is an expensive, supposedly high-end item, right?

And they had forever & a day to work out the kinks . . .

Perhaps it's another case of first-run production bugs.

True, but I don't believe there will be another run. If I am not mistaken all were made/ shipped.

Fingers crossed!

Try to carefully spin the rotatable wheels a little, (this seemed to change the LEDs flickering behaviour) - Just for you to make sure it doesnt start flickering once your warranty or your chance to get this thing replaced is gone

Good advise, will do. Richard from CSC inspected it, and installed the rider head for me. He said that there were no issues with the bike. So long as nothing happened in transit, it should work correctly. Then again I am not sure if he played with the wheels!!!!

All this frustration over a damn toy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have I lost my mind??

I finally got home, and did not hesitate to open this one up. After 1.5 years the day arrived........

First impression: Nicely packaged, with great care. Much like all the MMS series.

Quality: I was a bit put off by some reviews where owners said that the figure was "just rigid plastic.", and that the lightcycle felt "cheap." Let me me say that I feel the exact opposite. The cycle is not cheap, it is very large, and very well made. The figure although static for the most part feels like the Hot Toys quality one would expect. The head sculpt are right on point with Garrett Hedlund, and very well done.

Lighting: Dum, duh, dum dum dum........gloom and doom have been the reviews with various owners having issues. Thankfully I did not. Partly due to the fantastic service of Rich from CSC. Before shipping he inspected the figure, and all lighting elements, and even put the rider head on for me, since so many were complaining about how difficult i was to do. NO ISSUES thus far! It looks great!

For those that have not already purchased this piece, you WILL regret it! This thing is great, and I have NO complaints!

PS: It barely fits into a detloff sideways, so that gives you an idea of the size.

Thanks! That's him.
Really interested if anybody else has such problems or related problems with the LED lighting.

Also I'm very interested in Hot Toys answer, even though I actually never git an answer on any of my questions to their customer service by now.

Did you have problems with the helmet head too?

 

[Hollywood]

The helmet head was installed by Rich from CSC for me. There were no lighting issues with the head either.

quick question guys. Might seem dumb, but what kind of batteries are needed for this? I initially took the "3A batteries are required" as Triple A Batteries, but now with this arriving tomorrow, I want to make sure I have or get the right batteries so I can check the lights ASAP. Call me a newb but I never heard of 3A battery and if that's what's required, could those of you who have this take a pic of the batteries you're using or link to a pic of the batteries, please?

 

[kl241]

They are 3x double A, not triple A.

 

[Gipetto0812]

They are 3x double A, not triple A.

coolbeans, thank you!

I was way off

 

[Hollywood]

Be sure to post some photos when it arrives.

 

[Kuzeh]

At last, here are my pics!!
This was worth the wait!! I love it!!

[Kuzeh]

And I think that's it!!!
Loving it!!

[Hollywood]

Awesome! Any issues?

 

[Kuzeh]

Awesome! Any issues?

The helmet head is a bit of a pain in the neck! !!
But I warmed it up a little bit and seems to be fine now.
I'll keep it like that anyways, since I'll be using the regular head for a bash...

 

[Gipetto0812]

Great pics, Kuzeh!

I just finished checking and setting mine up and it's damn impressive! All lights seem to be working fine

My only complaint if I can even call it that, is that I could not for the life of me get the bent leg off to check out the break leg.

I will say that from pics I was a bit bummed by how the body lights seemed very dim but in hand they're nice and bright.

I haven't tried putting the helmeted head on yet. I'll do that tomorrow. I am also very glad that it fits comfortably in Detolf. Was worried about that but there is some wiggle room which is nice.

Overall extremely happy to have this! So worth the wait, and so very badass!

I might go back to my Legacy Sig and Avi just from sheer excitement

 

[JonWes]

I have this at work and people can't stop looking at it! It really is an impressive piece. So happy I got it.

I finally received mine here is Oz. Was a bit worried about all the negative comments - with it shipping all over the world - but tested it this morning and I am happy to report all is good.
This is truly one amazing piece, Hot Toys have done a fantastic job with it.
Here are a few quick pics. Sorry about the quality, but I am no Picaso.
