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

[5x10]

I just got the Medi last week. While it's a good figure you can't really pose it. Feels like the suit is going to rip at the seams.

It's tight but I don't have any fear of it tearing nor have I seen anyone complain about it
Even clipperking had it pushed too its limits and said the body held well, although he did say when stretched to its limits, the suit will turn a little lighter blue around the joints(see knees in the pic below) but goes back to normal when put into a neutral mode
This figure doesn't have the extreme articulate of the ht but the body is very solid

Hello I have recently got my hot toys amazing spiderman from an Hong Kong seller on eBay and it was fine out of the box. When I posed it however with great care the right shoulder broke , the next while gently posing the figure the left shoulder broke. I have many hot toys figure over the last four or five years and I'm one of the top reviewers on YouTube theclipperking. I have mentioned in my review that this has happened to my figure , also another YouTube reviewer I know has had the same problem. I think it would good of you to replace our spiderman bodies because we have no way of changing the body without damaging the suit. Also I would be happy to put out to another video sayin hot toys had taken care of the problem and still advice other to buy your produce. Thanks and please reply Ric Bates

Ridiculous.

Just for some comparison i bout a 3A figure from eBay. The head broke, i contacted 3A and they sent me out a new head.

Hot Toys make at least doublt the money that 3A does.

It's a lot more than double, and that's the reason they don't need to deal with consumers directly. Smaller niche companies tend to take a more head-on approach to customer service to help build the brand. It's something they can offer than the bigger companies typically don't. Bigger companies generally just deal with vendors and let the vendors handle the customer service.

Wonder how much a broken fig will sell for
Should be plenty out there unless people refuse to move them

Sold mine for 185 shipped.. buyer was aware.. I lost 90 bucks. Best 90 bucks I ever lost.

I'm just kinda catching up with this thread. So how many members are having this QC issue? A large quantity? Or a select few?

2 people with breakage, that I know of. I think the rest of us are just being super careful now and not posing the figure the way it should be able to.

Not bad for the buyer either.. can sell the garfield sculpt on ebay for like 80 and be in the rest of the figure 100 or so.

Did Rorywan ever try to pose him in a dynamic way?

 

[BrooklynWolf X]

Omg. 3 people reporting the same thing. This is discouraging.


Wtf HT?!

It's ok.

At least you can pose him standing, doing absolutely nothing but standing straight.

With all its faults, this is still an AMAZING figure.

Yes?

Why does everyone want me to break mine?

 

[FullMetalHippie]

Rory, did you get your extra head yet? Mine is on it's way from HK but have no idea when it'll arrive.

My second figure should arrive this week or early next week. Once it does I'm attempting the loose mask.

They never fixed the oily Batman and Comedians. Or the broken ankle Batman Begins, the Pink Panties still might be an issue and if not then it still took them years and years of more iron mans will it to fix it.

Nothing will make them adress this, even skipping the release won't change anything.

I'll E-Mail it anyway

Well, they did replace the oily Batmen for a lot of people. But that was a long time ago, when they had a soul.

No didn't get my loose head yet. Just the two full sets.

They replaced a lot of leaky batmans and also fixed the issues on later releases
