Okay, so the process is finally over for this figure.
I received the replacement body yesterday (the rubber suit/true type/both boots). It wasn't as good as my original so I took the lower left TT leg from the knee joint down and swapped it out. Then I put the replacement left boot/foot on and I now have the perfect figure, no problems.
After going to town on the replacement body (see pics above) I really started to wonder why we pay $200 plus for these damn things,
they're not that great, certainly not worth the prices we pay. I couldn't believe how easily the ____ty, brittle pieces broke apart. Then that rubber suit. It stretches with ease, I did it to the point where you could see light right through it. It was really tacky and after a few stretches and cuts it lost it's form quickly.
I went at it for less than a minute and as you can see from the damage above, there was really nothing to it to begin with. What a POS. Honestly, we all claim that these are "high-end" collectibles but are they that much different from the crappy "baby toys" that are available at retail.
Yeah, Hot Toys has nice headsculpts and accessories, I'll give them that but the quality doesn't equate to the price anymore. F'em.
Anyway, I gotta hand it to Sideshow, they're fantastic. I can't get over how great their customer service is and how helpful their employees are. This is a stark contrast to ____ing Hot Toys who don't give the customer the benefit of the doubt when it comes to damage and replacements.
With that said, BRING ON MORE HOT TOYS FIGURES!
And a few particular ones in...erm...particular. Like you I need out of this addiction.
looks like hes saving that suit!!
