Hot Toys: - MMS156 - Captain America The First Avenger Official Specs and Pics

It's not. That's why I cancelled my order. After Batman and Superman, just not going to accept Hot Toys lack of QC. Have to let my money speak for me.

Mass produced problems are showing. :/

 

[Biojex]

Yeah it sucks so much but i might have to get a refund.

Sorry to hear about your problems, P!tu

 

[darkknight]

i really dont think this should be considered acceptable

Damn that sucks, it's more worst than the crooked star. Hot Toys QC is getting bad as mentioned many times. Hope you can find a non crooked A and stars because it is a baddass figure.

just got mine from bbts. looks great! the only thing i thought was odd that it didn't come in the ht cardboard shipper (which is always nice to keep the box in good shape).

A lot of retailer remove the boxes from the shippers as they're going to box then in a larger box with padding material. Cuts down on the weight thus the cost of shipping.

Ah, just found it odd cause this is my 5th ht and they all came with the shipper.

It's getting too stressfull collecting HT

I mean, we all get excited for the character and proto, but then the QC issues causes all our excitement to come crashing down as if our emotions were all thrown off an oceanside cliff down onto the jagged rocks below when we open the box!

Damn you HT!

It also helps keep dishonest mail handlers from knowing what's in your box and desiding to steal it like they did my Classic Predator.

He might have left it at the wrong address. That happen with my Iron man IV. Good thing an honest neighbor brought it to the correct address.

 

[MCkilla]

After reading all the problems you guys have had I'm sure glad that mine was near perfect. All QC problems aside it really is a nice figure.

Thats EXACTLY how mine looks as well. I didnt bother returning him though, just kinda tilted his head a bit. I dont think its as noticable as we may think...then again when your spending almost $200 for an action figure you expect they could get something as simple as that right at least.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

For real. this is the last email i got.

"Unfortunately, we are unable to provide you with an item that has a different looking emblem as they are all applied in the same position. There is an acceptable range for minor imperfections on a hand crafted item and the emblem placement falls into this range. As such, Hot Toys will not be providing new heads."

That sucks big time! I was just watching your review the other day and it's sad they wont grant a replacement

 

[Firebird]

P!tu, that does look pretty bad and I don't think I could be happy with the 'A' being like that. I would get a refund and maybe hunt one down without the issues. That's if you really want this figure in your collection still.

 

[Centrocal]

think HT should have sculpted the A on the helmet just to have some guidelines for the paint

My Captain America arrived today from SSC. Second batch, I presume, since I just ordered it on Monday. Between my bad experience with the HT Superman and all the quality control issues I've been reading about Cap, I was pretty nervous about opening him up. I was very relieved to find both my "A" and star are even and perfectly aligned. So it seems not all of the second batch is affected by these issues.

However there is something else wrong that puzzles and upsets me. While the figure itself looks great and was clearly new in the packaging, the accessory tray located inside the top cover had clearly been tampered with. The plastic tray was covered in scratches, and wasn't secured in the flaps as it should have been. The tape had also clearly been peeled away and reapplied. This didn't bother me too much, until I removed the shield to find it covered in scratches! This thing looks like someone played with it, damaged it, and put it back in the package. Also, for those who have recently opened this figure, shouldn't the shield have a sheet of protective plastic over it when you first open it? Mine was just rattling around inside the tray. I don't like to make assumptions, but if I didn't know any better, I would say SSC sold me a used figure. Or at least swapped out the accessory tray in mine and stuck me with a damaged shield. I am considering shooting them an email requesting a new shield, but the damn thing is so shiny, it's almost impossible to photograph the scratches. They've very noticeable in person though. What do you guys think I should do?

I thought if an item was defective they would cover shipping back, you only pay shipping if you returned it for none QC issues

If you say its defective they will pay for shipping...or at least they should.

And your Cap should be there by Friday I believe.
