Hot Toys – MMS204 - The 1/6th scale ED-209 Collectible

[franpincho]

That is the problem with this figure. The fact that it must be poseable means ht were probably limited in the materials they could have used. Chronicle collectibles effort will be much more studier because they have it in a static pose.

They could've used better materials though. For what they charge, one would assume. "HIGH END COLLECTIBLE" hell, blow the NECA one to 1/6 and call it a day.

Hi guys.

We got an answer from HT.

They are aware of the issue and apparently investigating.

They want all affected owners to send them an email with pictures (and I would suggest also a copy of the sales receipt) to their support email adress [email protected]

Let's see what happens then.
It's worth a try.

hey that good news that they are willing to look into it. Now lets see what they can do for us.

That's the usual response they give. If they were really serious they'd post acknowledging the issue on their FB frontpage.

It is, they send that generic email template out to you no matter what you are asking about.

Where is there gonna be rubber on Robocop? Thought he was gonna be die-cast and plastic.

Forearms and belly if it's anything like the first ones.

Certainly true for the neck part and the shoulder area. The dome never had to be a soft material though.

Just came home from work and checked mine.
First cracks emerged on the front from yesterday to now.
Prepare for yours to crack any day now, lads.

Just a little longer and pictures are possible.

 

[CollectorGuy]

even if I could send this back to sideshow, its been almost 2 months since I bought it, then there is the boxing it up problem.
How the hell am I supposed to get the legs off now?

 

[Eisselmann]

With a screwdiver just as one guy showed it in a video in this thread.

 

[CollectorGuy]

a screwdriver?

 

[EndoSickness]

Yeah, he's right.
You slip him between "thigh" and the rest of the leg.
The seam that's left when you popped it one.
Just slide it in and start turning gently...

 

[Eisselmann]

Yep. Thanks Tim.

 

[Megacolor]

a screwdriver?

 

[EndoSickness]

Discovered 4 new cracks and one leg is compromised also.
End of the week and I can take photos and send'em to HT...

I'm convinced that's Butters on Facebook. The rabid fanboyism, the repetitive memes ''haters gonna hate'' being the most recent. That's exactly the way Butter's carried on here. I'll avoid saying his name a third time, you never know what might happen.

 

[franpincho]

Who's butters?

 

[DiFabio]

Who's butters?

A *****.

My hearts breaking. Not only is my dome cracking. But I checked the joints and boom

Ugh. Brutal. So is it climate that's starting this? I don't have one issue with mine and I've had it since April.

And you're definitely no hater with an agenda against Hot Toys as certain fanboys would try to claim.
