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

[Empir3]

It actually is very very nice. I was admiring the suit again today, it's almost perfect.

Yea can't wait for the state side release so I can get to see him in person!

Hey, did you guys know that this toy exists? Here's a pic!

That front end of the tumbler and the Bat pod look amazing.

The bubblehead? Not so much.

Sorry.

LOL, I shouldn't feed the bears by responding but that was pretty good.

I agree, the head is on the big side but my angle didn't help.

It's all good brother. Didn't mean to offend. You like the figure and I don't.

BUT you have a tumbler and a batpod. Which tells me you have good taste after all.

Okay,

I mentioned a possible fix to this a few days ago.

Rory told me it couldn't work but I really think it could.

Basically, it's a ratchet mechanism to lift/lower the arm forward and backward.

Now, it's VERY tight, so it puts a lot of stress on the plastic part that breaks. So I think the solution would obviously be to put less stress on this plastic part.

In another thread, Gipetto said that tight shoulder joints was typical of slim TTs. I don't have many so didn't remember that.

So what I did was go back to my stash to unearth a slim and found one (a first issue, apparently more solid), and yes, the ratchet mechanism is indeed very tight!

So what I did was take a screwdriver and loosen the two screws that hold the shoulder blade in the back and, miracle! It works really great. The ratchet mechanism still works but the movement is much more fluid and the arm works without putting too much pressure on the part that breaks (see Rory's pics a few pages back)

Now bear in mind that I haven't tried on ASM but I'm convinced it works. The only tricky part is unstitching the costume under the arm on about a centimeter (maybe less) to access the screws then restitch it.

I've ordered a loose ASM body off eBay to try it.

I'm not saying it will be 100% breakage free after that! but it should considerably reduce the risks.

Good idea.... though I suspect one can access the screws from the neck hole instead..
reaching just one screw would suffice, I'd say...

Sweet, thanks man

Maybe, hadn't thought of that! I'll check on the one I have if it's possible, though it might be difficult as the suit rides into the neck post...

No, you'd have to go through the arms. There isn't really a neck hole.

Everytime I feel like I'm about to cancel this, I see nice pics like this to convince me otherwise.
Screw it...I'm keeping my PO.
Nice pics man.

Yes, it's really a shame there's the shoulder issue because this figure looks really great!

I'm with you. I had thought about selling mine straight on but I'm keeping him now.

I never told you that couldn't work. I told you that to replace the entire arms you would have to get the costume off the chest as well. That the screws wouldn't give you access to the body cavity. And if you get the costume off to do that fix, you might as well replace the entire shoulder while you are there. Fixing the arms isn't an issue, it's striping the costume off to access the shoulders that is.

seriously!

There is no neck hole! why are people who don't even have the figure discussing the technical aspects of how to fix it?
This thread is a winner all right.

Has anyone swapped the eyes between the medi and the Hot Toys HS?

Or does anyone know if they are the same size?

Looking forward to see your pics bud.
