My contribution for today:

Thank you! I'll give that a go then.






Is that the problem? I'll try more force -- but it sure seems like it popped right in and is secure. Takes some force to pull it back out, so its not hanging loose. I thought maybe my prong wasn't folding tight. Is there a 2nd pop that secures it, so I'll know? I don't want to push until it breaks.

Follow my tips, you can't go wrong

Good Luck..remember small or faint pop or crunch sound is common when first attaching it. Don't be fooled because it's still not secure.

When you hear the obvious crunch sound and it's pretty loud you know you got it in the proper way. I would add try to wiggle the arm and push it into the socket while trying to straighten the bottom of the arm

( Always take heed with caution, remember it's still plastic, So don't gorilla press the arm joint in because it could crack and you're screwed. give it ample pressure and force then you should be good to go)

It will require some force but more of momentum and push then raw strength. I can't emphasize this enough with people that have strong hands

I have the same arm issue. It doesnt seem to go in any more than it has. It doesnt even look odd it just feels loose.

Thought I would give him the signature Vader pose




Replaced the batteries

 

[jedibear]

Lookin' good!

 

[rhboyd]

gorgeous!!! so what are you water treating?? the outer robe thing?? the whole costume??? I wanna be prepared!!

 

[DarthBakura]

Got mine today! Excellent figure! Surprised by the feel of the outer robe.

I also received a mysterious "cracked" base... perhaps it will be like Wonka's Golden Ticket?

Heh, I didn't even take the base out of the box. So, I have no clue whether or not I got the cool looking cracked version. I used a generic knock-off base, like what we used to get with these figures.

I deeply, truly miss them. Hot Toys produced the best quality of its kind.

Rarely do I ever use the specialized bases that come with a lot of the newer stuff. In fact, only the DX-01 Joker, Rocket Raccoon, Han Solo and the giant ass Karas anime figure are using their respective bases. And I'll probably use the one that comes with the BvS Bats.

You need a teacher, I can show you the ways of the Force....

You guys win the interne... I mean, the thread!

Para, please tell me, for the love of god, that you managed that pose using torso articulation? And how did you do so, if I may ask?

I'll give it another go. Or I may have one like the guy below...

Mine as well. I seem to recall someone else mentioning this a long time ago too. Maybe we do in fact have loose joints. Its not bad and doesn't show, like you say, its just that you can feel its loose when to go to move the arm.

Anyway, will report tomorrow what the deal is.






Last fast one for today...

Another quick way to check you popped it in securely is to bend the forearm downwards, if it bends lower than 45 degrees that means it's still loose and dangly in the socket. If you hear the loud pop and it doesn't bend lower than 45 degrees you are golden!

Wrong way..



Notice how the forearm looks weird, arm is connected but not secure

Right way

Still bends low but stops at a point. Means socket is secure with arm attached



I'm telling you it has to be a loud " POP " sound because the first one will sound faint which means it's not secure

OK, I get it -- my arm does bend backwards a bit, unnaturally. So it must not be seated correctly. It's in, but not snapped in place.

Thanks! I'll get on that tomorrow. Glad to know its not broken or loose.

 

[momaw]

My pics. Just need Rey to finish out the pose.

 

[Creighton]

Im late to the party but mine arrived on Wednesday. He's a solid release.
Kylo fills in nicely between Vader and Solo and with the current desktop lineup.

 

[Cocoboloboy]

Very clean, momaw. Very clean. I'm stealing that pose.

Great display, Creighton!

You need a teacher, I can show you the ways of the Force....

Love these shots.

 

[xipotec]

Already temped to buy an accompanying First Order Stormtrooper...

Already did that too....heavy trooper.......

Pics soon..

I went thought this exact same issue Wor...its not seated fully......As I was told wait till you hear the crunch sound.....well mine was more of a click sound thankfully, but it was not seated all the way. Grab him but the biceps and forearm and push together till you hear it .....

Don't be afraid!

 

[xipotec]

My robes also seem a bit stiff and curled at the end....
Was going to steam him.....but what is this water treatment everyone is talking about?

Thanks. Going for when Kylo caught Ren on Takodana.

Needs some tweaking. I did it from memory. Should have brought up the pic

What is Ren doing to Vader in that dark ally?
