There we go. Show your true colours mate. Faceless troll? I have a face thanks, and it's a damn sight prettier than yours I might add.
:lol
Why? So it breaks like your one?
:dunno
:exactly:
:lol And a new Spiderman.

Don't cancel it man, it looks fantastic on display.

im still skeptical you got him in the pose a few pages back without the shoulders breaking

if you could please do it again and post some pics, I think you would personally end many peoples worries of this figure being un-pose able
 
Everyone is ignoring the real problem with this video complaint: never shoot a strobing computer screen! Lol, just infuriating to watch.

lol lol yeah my bad , I thought that when I sent it , I hope hot toys don't have a video critic on site or i'm ****ed , I could take it if they said no your not havin a new spiderman , but if theyd followed that up with plus your video quality is ****e I would've been GUTTED :lol
 
Cant we all just agree that as collectors we pay way to much money for **** to break like that. I agree with Clipper on this one both sides make good points. So let the hate on me start I don't give a ***. Its something that needed to be done lets hope they fix it . I want this figure as well but don't want to break the damn thing coming out of the box. Figure looks great I hope everything gets fixed and solved for al of us.
 
:lol
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.

Okay, so I misunderstood what you meant! :)

Sure, replacing the whole arms, though preferable, would be possible but a huge mess!

Here, I think it can be achieved with minimal work! I've already repaired whole legs from my Medicom comics Venom, and restitching a suit in an invisible way isn't so difficult, so provided I don't break anything while loosening the screws ( trust me, I had to apply a lot of strength to loosen those of my slim- they're probably screwed by a machine), I should be fine! :)
 
5x10 I know what your askin and I agree with ya , do ya remember football sticker books ??? I remember when I was at school there was this kid who'd go from gang to gang and every sticker you'd need to full a page he'd be like " ive got 5 Liverpool badges , shiny ones too and ive got four Jan Molby's " then you'd be well show em us then , then he'd be oh I cant today I've left em at home or mi dads took em to work !!!
at least ive found out on this thread what that kids doing now

lol, I hear ya

if I had the figure, and could hit the pose below without the shoulders breaking, I would be posting the pics up to the fellow members, letting them know it might not be all the figs with the problems
but, from what I understand, there is no way his right arm(below) is hitting that pose without breaking

im trying to remove the absolute failure of the shoulders from the equation, which would allow me to purchase this fig

does it look like the shoulder mechanism is buldging out of his right chest area?

My extra Spidey head just got stateside. I wasn't expecting it for at least a couple weeks.

That loose mask mod will be posted here as soon as it's done.

I haven't broken my current Spidey yet so I'm still enjoying it while I can. Hey Rory did you get yours yet?

I'm going to try posing his arms when I get home. Getting tired of this. I think if you hold the shoulder in place, you should be able to rotate the arm. If you don't hear from me, I'll most likely be burying Spidey in a shallow, unmarked grave.

Look forward to the mask mod. Definitely something I want to try once mine arrives next week.
 
Hot Toys sent me an oil free DX02 body after I emailed them - I even told them I got it from ebay.

They also replaced my John Connor head for me (again from ebay) because I got one of the faulty/poor quality sculpts.

I'm not sure that a video attack full of swearing and insults is the best way to go about this. I often like Clipper's videos but I'm not sure about this one.

I got a DX02 body from them as well. And I bought from ebay.

good luck man, you might get with rory to see if he can give you a tutorial on how to move that body, as he seems familiar with them

im tempted to buy it anyways as it poses well, even after they break(craziness, I know), but its a nice suit and im a huge spidey fan

pose above reminds me of the covers of amazing spiderman 300 and 301, both of which I have had ever since I purchased them when I was a kid!
 
Interesting... I doubt they would have done that for anyone in the USA... they can't even bother to answer my emails. I'm glad they helped someone, they've been useless to me.

I don't see why they can't help US buyers out. I'm in England like Clipper is - so how they can't help him out I'm not sure.

I posted my leaky DX02 body back to them and a week later I got the new one. Those who have faulty Spider Mens? Mans? could just post the body back and have a (hopefully improved) replacement. HT must have loads of bodies lying around - just stick a fabric suit on it.
