The waist grabber is a pain in the ass. I wound up swapping it out for a regular crotch grabber. Overall I like the figure quite a bit but I do find it a bit hard to articulate the arms. I also had a couple buttons pop off, one on the shirt and one on the vest. Grabbed some fabric glue from Wal-Mart and they're both holding in place now. Also had an issue with the handstrap on the video camera where it popped out of place, but just applied a dab of superglue and its fine now. I have the decals but I'm a bit nervous to put them on. I just don't want to mess anything up.

Wow, that's unbelievable, how can they make a mistake like that? I take it you bought from a HK seller?

 

[BuGz]

Nope. I bought it from sideshow collectables. I'm going to complain about this. I should have had him by now. Why he came from Hong Kong I dunno. I thought they came direct from SSC warehouse as stated in the woman's email. Totally been given a ******** story!! Really not happy especially when I'll have to pay custom charges!!!

That's what threw me with HK on the tracking! Never heard of in stock SSC items being dispatched from HK. I'd certainly make a complaint. Something's fishy.

 

[BuGz]

Definitely making a complaint. The girl actually told me my order & package was in their warehouse too. I'll email them today. No way am I paying customs for this mess!!

Same shots, just added the logo which I thought looked cool

I just applied all my decals 2 nights ago and although I had "0" issues I had the same concerns with things falling off. I cradled every piece and taking extra time and care paid off because nothing broke or fell off. Yesterday morning after giving the decals 12 hours of being applied I threw 2 coats of dullcoate on and done.

Marty has opened up a new world for me. My first high quality 1/6 scale figure, my first Hot Toy, and my first venture into decals. I'd say I'm venturing down a dangerous and expensive road but...

...where we're going, we don't need roads.

It's great to hear people getting into HT and high end 1/6 for the first time with Marty. Also yes you're going down an expensive road, that's also addicting too.

That's why I'm having EVILFACE make me decals for the HP figures, with nameplates. So they'll have Hot Toys style stands.

I took a crotch holder from another stand and slid it in the BTTF one. Waist grabber unattached his suspenders. Lol

Only thing is that the kids are too small for the crotch holders unless you mod it and use the crotch holders from the DX stands which are shorter.

Got Marty last night but didn't have too much time to set him up, had to go see Jurassic World but one of the buttons on the right side of vest came off as I was taking the plastic wrap off of him. I saw there were extras included with the pegs, so I didn't panic too much. Sorry if it's been asked before, but are there any recommendations for reapplying one button? Just a dab of glue or something? Thanks in advance!

I defer to all the other great photographers in here, but here's just a quick pic I snapped after unboxing. He looks absolutely perfect in person, couldn't be happier with him.

As you can see it says it left the UK and has gone to Germany only to be apparently coming back to the UK for me

And it shipped from agai instead of the U.S.

 

[drfeelgood]

Yeah that's exactly the same as what I got. Bit weird as I live in Watford! ...I got a bad feeling about this. But the fact it says on the right my shipping town and delivery date being Monday I'm not too stressed, not yet anyway.

I've had similarly mind-boggling routes taken by packages within the U.S.--items ordered from California, going to Texas, then Georgia, then back down to Louisiana, etc. Sometimes that's just how postal services roll.

 

[Sidewinder]

It's like they just chuck it on the first truck that leaves so they can get it out of the depot lol.
