Hot Toys POTA Gorilla Soldier review

[angelofmusic2112]

You're focused on 1 project? How can that be Jessica? It's not like you at all. I'm starting to drift all over the place on these 3 projects alone. I've got four, that's right, four new ape heads in the works, Project Lady Liberty and the Glyphs for the President.

The hair is fake fur. It's glued onto fabric. It shouldn't fall off...unless you overcomb them...then you can get bald patches.

You forgot the punch line J.

Then it'll need a comb over.

The fake fur is double-sided taped (it really feels like toupee tape!!) onto the plastic head:

3 Gorillas review

Feedback is always appreciated,even when it's bad!

Geez...it's strange to think that I still have a whole set of the Hasbro 12" Apes still mint in box somewhere in storage.

Don't feel bad, you're not the only one.

I've got a few extra SS Gorilla Soldiers as well too.

Got the original Mego's too.

Back in the day (70's), I was Ape **** over the movies and then TV series. Magizines, comics, veiw master, coloring books, postors, puzzles, trash can, games, toys, you name it. Found myself wanting to walk bent over all the time; stupid kid.

 

[Ironman1188]

LOL, I have some Mego's as well. Might wind up using them for ape children one day. I always wanted more but money was always tight. Seems some things never change.
I did have 3 cannister puzzles (wonder what happened to them), a Galen bank, POTA trashcan, rubber figures...
First movie I ever saw in theaters was Beneath. My oldest sister took me and regretted it all the way home as I walked like an ape the whole way.

wookster, I really enjoy your reviews at Michael's Site. You do a great job.

 

[Jessica]

Wook, that was a fabulous review. I can't wait to read your next review when Hot Toys starts churning out my chimps!!!

Do you get to keep the toys?

 

[Protozaius]

Did you ever get the rip taken care of Jess?

 

[Jessica]

Still haven't received anything yet from Hot Toys. They said to send them the receipt and they would send a replacement. Have done that, but I am on a holding pattern. The ball is in their court.

 

[Jessica]

Sorry about this being the Captain...but I found a tear in the gorilla vest. I'm writing to Hot Toys now...

:maul:maulcensored
Wow. I just got word from Hot Toys, that they will not fix my gorilla vest, for some ^^^^up they did. Well they can just kiss my hairy behind!! I will no longer support any Hot Toys apes or any future production of any Hot Toys apes.

Here is their reply:
Sorry for keep you waiting!
We're very sorry to tell you that over 30 days of purchase or product released for more than 1 year will NOT be accepted.
Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

We're very sorry to tell you that over 30 days of purchase or product released for more than 1 year will NOT be accepted.

But it hasn't been 30 days, nor 1 year. Or did they wait the 30 days out and then reply? You sent this off around the beginning of September, didn't you? Did you go through your retailer? What about your receipt? What date was on that? Are they reneging because you pre-ordered it early, so it's now past that 30 day deadline?

Hot Toys, you suck!!!
