1/6 Hot Toys - Infinity War - Thanos

[The Buffinator]

I think he's referring to Shartimus Prime's video review which had flakey bits on Thanos' right arm.

Yeah, I was referring to that review as well. He had scuff marks/paint missing, but he didn't mention seeing the paint flake off.

Can anyone answer my ubolt question? What size do we need to adjust the detolf height?

The shoulder on my articulated right arm had paint rubbed off when I received him earlier this week.

The arm was not attached to the body in the tray, so I was guessing that it was
rubbing up against the plastic tray and wore off.

Wow. Think I'll be checking mine pretty closely then.

Whoa!!! Looks like Hot Toys better have plenty of arms ready for replacement. This is ridiculous. Might be the first figure I actually put a clear coat on. Any suggestions? Unless this strictly is happening en route so if he arrives fine it’ll stay that way as long as you don’t cause it by being rough or over posing

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Like I mentioned, the arm was disconnected from the torso within the clamshell.
I was using the posed arm, but noticed this arm had the paint damage right off the bat.

Since I got it from Hong Kong, it was either ship the whole figure back or accept a partial refund
and live with it. I took the partial refund on it.

This is why I rarely buy new releases direct instead of waiting from Sideshow,
it is the risk you take getting replacement parts if you have any issues right out of box.

He has an alternate right arm too?

I'm assuming he meant one of the left arms, as there's no reason for the right arm to not be attached to the body during shipment.

 

[Dino_Ranger_White]

Yeah, sorry... My bad. Meant the damage is on his left shoulder.

Anyone get email for Thanos?

 

[capfolly]

Some guys on Sideshows FB group said they got an email asking if they wanted their Thanos to be processed early on Feb 28. Has anyone here received that?

Got mine earlier today so hopefully I'll have Thanos on Monday

No way!?? This is great news. A few of us should be getting the email then sooner than later.

Hopefully everyone gets it soon. Crazy we get him before Black Panther

The needed to get this out and in people's hands before they see the end game Thanos that's why. I knew that from the very beginning but it seems hot toys didn't so they had to do the last minute rush.

I just placed an order last night. I wonder if mine will ship on Thursday too.

I ordered mine on August 8th of last year and no email yet so I doubt it. It’s possible but I doubt it. I’m thinking 2nd week of March. I hope I’m wrong tho and we all get them shipped tomorrow.

Several assumptions on “next one”:

“It will be better”. Probably with armor, but that doesn’t mean better. What if minus gauntlet? Or “burnt” gauntlet. What if HS is not as good? There are plenty of figures that I don’t like “Part II”

“It will happen”. What if Thanos has minimal screen time? He’s dealt with early and there’s another threat? Plenty of figure that “they have to make” that they haven’t.

What if movie flops? Which is the desirable figure then? (See TLJ)


I’m sure it will be “great”....but no guarantee it’s the definitive Thanos.

Ordered mine from Sideshow on the 3rd April and not received any e-mail yet
