Hot Toys -MMS 115 -WATCHMEN - The Comedian- Spec and pics

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I'm so fecking pissed off right now.

the bids went up on my Comedian to £102 then the guy e-mailed me saying he couldn't afford this so i retracted his bid so that the last bidder would be the high bidder at £100.

THEN THE AUCTION PRICE RESTARTED. i don't get it, instead of deleting his most recent bid, it deleted all of them and the new bidder who was prepared to pay £100 had his bid changed to £80.

So i've just lost out on £20 because of this time waster.

i've still got 1 day and a half left but this is so frustrating

Is there a way to extend an auction, cos i've just lost out on 6 days of bids.

Im almost positive you cant extend the auction. You might want to just end the auction and re-list it

NEVER cancel a bid. If the idiot submitted that amount, approved it and then also confirmed it, let him eat it or the non-paying bidder alert.

Ebay drives me nuts sometimes.

Switched my comedian on those new flamma muscular bodies.

All made of plastic and no rubber.

I managed to stop the leaking using superglue flex gel.

 

[drjedisith]

ahh me likes! i am going to try that on my old comedian outfit. seb, do you think its best to coat both sides since i have it off already? did you just brush on a light coat with a brush?
gimme tips bro.

 

[elvis1976]

Yeah it's better to put glue on both size.
and yes i used a brush to apply the glue, you will have to be quick becasue the glue dries quickly.

Used Loctite flexgel, it will still keep the elasticity.

cool. did you layer the glue relatively thick or just enough like when you drybrush

 

[elvis1976]

Pretty thick on the inside of the suit just to be sure, and a small layer on the outside.

I wouldn't trust a new figure. We've already seen evidence that one purchased new had the suit and harness decomposing in the box.

This must be the suckiest day ,

I've had my share of HT faulties ; (TDK , OC suit Batman, Big chap Alien pegs, trinkety Iron Man parts)

But this must've taken the poocake.

I was just posing my TDK suit bat, and admiring how flexible the rubber is, when it occurs to me that I haven't "air" my comedian for months now.

And what do you know, much to my horror, one of my favorite figure .. (re) unbox him, turned him around, and its literally drenched.

As you can see from my picture, all it took is one soft pull and the freakin' suit falls apart like a dead Symbiote.

The sad thing is prior to it being pulled to mush I was making a good 20 minutes effort to gently dab the damn thing with tissue paper. Its like trying to resurrect Saddam Hussein I tells ya.

man, I worry with the prospect of WHAT could go wrong with Keaton Bat , and I POed 2 of those, while watching the suit falls apart in horror , I kept thinking I have spent $170 on this guy.

Anyways, just needed to vent.

Put myself on that Interest for replacement suit (very late I might add) Hopefully Olbert will take pity on me.

I stripped my comedian and bought some of this flexiglue stuff. i had to order it from the UK its some European brand. there is probably an American equivalent but oh well. My suit is leaking like crazy, totally wet on the inside which is evidence that the rubber body does indeed cause the leaking as well. No rot yet just slight warping which is fine because the armor covers it.

I intend to coat the entire inside of the tank top, the entire inside of the bandoleer and a little on the top outside of the tank top where the bandoleer sits on it. then see if it stops the leak. I do not think for one second that this solution will last long term for the record.

Jesus you got it bad... SO sorry man

 

[chupanegro]

@Raymond : cheers brah, no ____. I really do like this underdog of a figure, but damn.. good luck on your Glue crusade

@Jaroto: 1 advice, don't!!!

 

[JAROTO]

I was about to buy this figure. No way! I wont take the risk. its seems everybody is having this problem with the figure. Thanks you guys for sharing pics and thoughts.

 

[Hydeous]

A while ago I took apart comedian and use the body for a dexter bash.

Now that HT is releasing th muscle body soon, today I decided to put the suit back, despite it leaking a while back.

Mine is quite similar to chupanegro's. When I wiped it off and squeezed the demented rubber parts, it almost felt like it has air trapped inside?!

Anyways, I'm so glad and thankful that when I tried to put it back in the body, it's still forgiving and didnt break like chupanegro's. That said, I'm sorry yours broke, bud. Condolences.

I put him next to my Leonidas now, despite the leakage issue, man does he have a presence in the shelf! Its hard to make this figure look bad, definitely in the top 10 greatest HT of all time, had it not have the leakage.

 

[KingGrayskull]

Just wanted to post an update. I have finally received a non leaking suit. This is already send to a good friend who will do a replacement for both of us. Shipping will take about a week. Not sure how long he will take to finish the replacement but I will post pics when it is done.

 

[chupanegro]

Thanks Hyde, you're right all the way. this guy is all presence, his expression sticks out in between those majority of dead-faced HTs

Quick Update:

I'm so pissed and frustrated that this bad ass dude got such a two ____s suit treatment, I decided to rip the armor to shreds (save the front muscle shaped plate)

only then i realized that my figure got the doubly ____tiest luck, note that even his left Gun holster is a right sided holster, HT best be paying more for their QC.

That being said, after replacing his armor with a standard black bullet proof vest, this guy is still a superb figure, Jaroto , I take it back; if you can live with his armor degrading, get him!

I curse HT for not proceeding with Rorschach .
