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

[SmoothEmjay]

I genuinely can't believe (sort of anyway) that they've not recalled this piece of crap. No matter what you pay, it's incredibly over-priced.

You done goofed, son.

I agree I seriously don't know how I feel anymore about both companies, they are really letting me down

Yeah when I saw this my feelings about Hot Toys being a premier brand in this type of thing (and they are, mostly) just dropped significantly low. I mean what have they done to resolve the problem for all those who bought a product that they either have to spend extra money to buy products that MAY (and may not) stop the rubber from cracking or just watch it drop apart in a shelf? that is disgusting on its own.

That said I am still picking up Robo/BD Robo and Murphy. The BTTF "Marty McFly" has me intrigued as well but I don't like the empty headed expression they've given him (that's for another thread though).

Agreed I think I will skip PO this and wait it out to see if it sells out, which it wont I'm sure just look at the other Robo release, and Marty I just had to cause I love BTTF more than Robocop, the face yeah, but I rather have that then a smiling face honestly, plus it goes with the Delorean for the movie poster look.

 

[SmoothEmjay]

Agreed and I'm likely to pick one up when it drops because it's probably my favourite movie of all time with Robocop coming a close second.

Why the sudden change of heart? QC worries?

Essentially. Some part about paying for this just makes me somewhat sick. Impulse buy at its finest, but then I realized how stupid it was.

You shouldn't feel bad Fran, its ****ed up that they even let this out of the factory, I think its common sense though you can't use a material that is gong to stretch and want to stretch back to its original form, a fabric would of been way better. But I agree with you I would never buy this unless there was a lifetime guarantee. Will this be a loss for HT's and SS? Who knows, I just hope they learn from it, which I doubt they will too.

Thanks man. Yeah, idk, some claim theirs is in perfect shape and I'm happy for those. I just hate being paranoid about something breaking and even worse if I knew it could happen and bought it still.

Would much rather take my girl to an expensive dinner and other things with that cash.

Wow you are like a brother from another mother,

Is there any way to protect from the cracking and other known defects? Will really be a shame to have to return. I'm going to wait out the battle-damaged RoboCop without the helmet.

There you go, plus the reward she gives you will be more rewarding the worry that ED gives you man.

The rubber around his joints as far as I know, I would return him if I could if I were you, but its up to you. You can buy lube, but the people that did that, have only had him for about a month. So its one of those things you have to wait and see. There is another thread for the cracking you might want to look into and ask more there.

 

[DiFabio]

Yeah, I did. Back it'll go.

Haven't even opened the thing, I just feel sick.

I realize how stupid I sound, btw.

SSC is going to probably hate me forever.

Dang.

They're gonna black list ya! Honestly, you shouldn't have bought it in the first place. You knew your threshold was a lower price. I understand where you're coming from though man. Atleast you didn't open it.

Sorry to hear that, but it's probably for the best. If you get a bad one, if it isn't the dome, then it's the rubber at the joints that will fall apart. That Optibotimus video is the best example of HT QC at its worst.

If HT had any honor/cared about its customers, it would take back every defective figure and fix the dome and joints. But whatcha gonna do?

The fact that they ignore the reports and don't do a thing about it is something that old HT's would do, seems like not much has changed.

Congratulations on the piece. I hope it all works for you at the end. It truly is a sight to behold, and yes, nothing prepares you for how huge he actually is.

Grats, prior to the rubber issue, I thought it was a contender for fig of the year
