It's obvious Hot Toys knows we love Batman and Iron Man. Hot Toys loves money.

I think they just love money… well that's not really fair. They where able to make wider range of figures for these licenses due to demand, which is cool for us who want them.

In all seriousness though I do truly believe that Hot Toys loves both money AND these characters. That's why I'm still banking on them to release another Mark III someday.

Left hand pulsar light does not work!

Lift off the forearm panels and take a look at the wiring right at the elbow joint. It's likely to get crimped at that point. HT realizes this as well.

Jostle it around a bit and do the same with the batteries. It may help to wedge something in the battery compartment as well to keep the batteries from moving.

No joy guys! I cannot get the left hand light to work!
It flickered for a bit so it's not batteries.
I took off the removable panels and fiddled with the wire at the elbow and it's doing nothing.

Maybe I should unscrew the forearm to open it up and see what's up? If it can be fixed, I'm perfectly happy not to get on to Hot Toys about it.

if you figit with the batteries it should work...they most likely just need to be moved a bit. You may need to wedge something in the battery compartment.

Turn the switch on and open the battery compartment and play with em till it works

Nope!
I even went as far as opening the right arm battery compartment and had a play about with those batteries too but they are pretty secure and take some shifting to top the light working.

try swapping the batteries? could have a bad one in there...

FInally received mine, and opened the factory-sealed box to find the right armor guards missing on the second plastic tray. Left was all there (4 pieces) right only had one. How can I contact Hot Toys about this?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

That was one of the first things I tried dude and that's not it either!

gotta be a bad wire then man

Woah, sorry to hear that.
Wish I could say that they might be loose inside the box which is what happened to mine. Four of the forearm rocket panels broke free from their compartment and were rattling around loose in the box which I could hear before I opened it.

Yeah, bad wire or bad LED bulb, especially if all the other LEDs are working.

Anyone know if the bulb is replaceable without having to cut and splice?

open the arm, un-soldering & soldering (some cutting) involved... another posibility is the switch, or just bad soldering contacts.

Holy smokes, mine is due any day now and in my mind I am opening up the box and finding that all the arm guards are missing, none of the LEDs are working, there's some funky paint flaking on the back of the neck and.. AND!... to top it all off there are silver specks all over the glossy new paint, like it's been chipped or something.

I am nervous.

yup. i sent them an email 10 days ago with pics and receipt regarding the red rods not going back in on the left hip. i have yet to hear from them. horrible customer service. how can a company like hot toys think this is acceptable?

My one will be here in the morning and i got to say i'm also very nervous ..i hope both our figures will be in perfect condition.

I wonder why they can't develop some sort of returns mechanism via their distributors? Or maybe they have? If mine is dodgy, surely I return it to the distributor rather than HT? Anyone who has had a positive return experience with HT I'd love to hear it!

Ditto, come the morning I hope you spend one minute discovering a complete lack of defects and then spend the rest of the day drooling over your newly-acquired awesomeness!
