I know, and I'm hoping that it will reappear on a HT DARK KNIGHT RISES piece sometime next year. Until then, I wait...
Three weeks ago, I got one of these. I took one look at it, saw the indent on the side of the figure, as well as a giant shiny forehead. I promptly sent it back to SS. After Maglor's photos, there was no way I was going to spend $200 on a figure, wrestle with CS to get proper replacements for the defective parts, and then watch it deteriorate in a matter of weeks/months.
I bought the Cian head which came in today, and put it on my MMS13 figure. For $30.00, I am content.
Got my replacement body today... he fused wrist was solved, but ironically the replacement had the SAME problem of the right ankle peg beng fused to the right boot. I had asked them to disassemble every peg and all and ship separately. They did that for the wrists, but... also the replacements left ankle is floppy and loose, it comes of pop whenever you try to pose the ankles. Also they shipped it covered in lots of brown paper. small minute dusty bits of which now cover the whole rubber body and cling to i tight enough that a stiff brush has little effect in rubbing them off
EDIT: I now realise that the replacement boots ankle peg is actually broken.
Maglor did you have a good imagination when you were a youngster or did everything have to be just so?
Considering that the HT headsculpt goes for $100+, this is 95% as good and cost 66% less. It will suffice for now.
Unfortunately I think I'm a lil bit OCD when it comes to this stuff. The dents aren't really that bad but just because I know it's there I can't take my eyes off of them...especially when the figure is $225.
I'm the same way but some stuff you just have to let go. Honestly, I don't think I have a "perfect" figure. They all have something wrong with them, be it a small paint rub, a loose true type joint or what have you. That's the nature of the hobby.
Now, if it's a huge problem like deterioration, actual broken pieces, then yeah, nobody should except that. Just the same, if you're not happy (and you shouldn't need us to know if you're content with your purchase) then by all means, take that figure back.
