Hot Toys - MMS179 - The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Man

[BatBrain]

Well crap. An offer to a HK seller that I made got accepted. Not too much above retail but I will be insanely careful with him. Pretty basic pose for him is all I suppose.

Looks like a stock email that they've probably sent a thousand times. I wish they'd address these types of issues but they tend to make these problems become Sideshow's instead.

I've received the same email when I tried to get War Machine's Gatling gun replaced. It was broken either while packed or shipped because it was sealed shipper. But because I bought it from a third party, Hot Toys was able to wash their hands of it and I was SOL.

Unfortunately, this figure has been mass produced already so those of us who have bought or will buy it are just going to have to be extra careful handling Spidey. Unless it's purchased through an authorized reseller, replacements may be hard to acquire.

You can, however, bend the double jointed elbows up and make him do the chicken dance very easily if you hold him like I do in the video above, while extending and contracting your thumb and index finger repeatedly. So that's good.

I feel your pain man, your review was great as well. I have gotten that exact same email from HT as well though, on numerous occasions. They did replace my DX02 oils body though, even though I got it from ebay.

Wow did they give you the plastic abs version that DC direct released for their Batch of DX02?

Yes.

I guess the real question is how are they going to resolve this issue?

No point if the replacement eventually breaks again.

It's Hot Toys...as far as they are concerned, there IS no issue. As long as people buy their stuff, they don't give a damn.

So...realistically, without keeping his arms at his sides completely, what pose can be achieved without breaking the joints?

 

[Glennfett]

So this figure Is riddled with issues.....feck!

Great pose!

Thx a lot

You guys are sucking the excitement out of getting this figure before I've even paid for it .....

I personally would rather find out now that something is screwed up with the quality of the figure. 200$ is a lot of money to spend on a potential cluster f@$k.

I had the same issue with one of Snake eyes katanas when I first got him . Called SSC . Now they did replace the katana but it wasn't the one that came with the figure. No clue what figure it came from . They sorta tried.

I suspect HT is using a slim black TT for this spidey....As with previous black plastic TT... the choice of black ABS plastic makes it more brittle than the skin colour variant.

The 80 degrees is nothing new it's what the slim TT is design as such... Properly holding the joints would reduce the stress on those brittle points...the joint that's most prone to breakage is the one that allows shoulder to move to the front and back.

 

[Darkavatar]

Yes.

Wow I thought you could only get them from DC direct, congrats man, do you have connections or something? Usually Hot Toys is non responsive.
