I have a crazy idea:
1.) simply ask for the missing parts;
2.) look at what features are included before you buy it!
:slap

Actually..after looking at the neck hose area more closely, it does look like it'd be a pain in the *** to replace those..nevermind the first point I made ;)
However, it was never shown to come with a brain chip, and the base was never supposed to light up, and it looks the same as it did in the promo pics, so those complaints are not really fair.

I'm going to contact Alteregocomics about the situation Monday by phone.
As for as the features go I knew what this came with before I purchased it,but wouldn't you have been more excited with it if it had those features. (Light up base, removable cpu brain chip,better made plasma rifle) I think your answer would be a big yes we all would. But wait,we might get all those goodies when it comes back out as a DX version 2.0.My point is this thing is 1/4 scale and HotToys could've made this a masterpiece and set the standard for this endo,but it falls short in a lot of areas,especially at this price point. Look what all we got with the Enterbay BD for not much more.
So if you see this as unfair then you got to play them as you see them.
 
I received mine yesterday and I'm very disappointed with Hot Toys QC. Mine has some issues and I will be returning it. First the cables that go to head are completely missing on both sides and then I discover the the caps that go over the hip screw joints are missing also. My other thoughts on this figure is that I feel that Hot Toys failed to make this a fantastic piece for the money that it cost. They could've at least gave us a removable brain chip and a light up base for the price.
For those of you that like this I'm happy for you,I just feel it was just put out there without any thought.View attachment 61695View attachment 61696View attachment 61697View attachment 61698

Removable brain chip? What would that do to improve the figure? Would you actually be removing this and replacing this repeatedly like a little kid playing with a toy?

What do you think you're doing now with the light up feature?

With such a catastrophic F up in the QC department, they shouldn't give you any problem.

I don't think they will give me any problems about it. And I will be nice about it and not blow up.The thing is anyone of us could've gotten this one, it just happened to be me.

Ain't that the truth. To be honest, I think that might be the worst QC Hot Toys figure I've ever seen.

After seeing yours, I had to give mine a once over to see if mine was missing anything, thankfully it wasn't. Mine just had fingerprints on it from assembly I gather -_-

That's cool, I'm glad you and all the other members here got a good one.
I know that from time to time this happens to one of us, Just had to vent.But in the end nobody's perfect.
 
Are you looking to get a refund or a replacement?

I don't know yet, I guess it's a good thing that I have all weekend to think about it.I really had high hopes for this figure. The WOW factor just isn't there for it like I've had for some of my figures in the past. Nothing about it truly amazes me. But on the other hand we may not see another 1/4 scale chrome endo from anybody else.

I have the same perspective, I don't believe it was worth the cash but I will hang onto it for now. I'll see what Enterbay cooks up.

Yes, I've read your post about it now I know what you're talking about.I'm also wanting to see what
Enterbay's take is on the Endoskeleton. One thing's for sure I bet it will come with more than what we got with the Hot Toy one for sure. Wether or not it will be chrome remains to be seen.
Either way if I choose to get a another one I will customize the base to light up. I don't think it will be that hard and do what Hot Toy should have gave us in the first place. And also fix the light up feature so you don't have to take off the back of the skull( repeatedly like a toy) to get it to light up.

I think the main deal breaker is that the paint app isn't consistent at all and no two Endos appear the same. I said before that the button housing for the eyes has a big thumb print on it. When I removed it from the box I was wearing gloves the entire time so it definitely wasn't me. The base is awful, hopefully Enterbay has a more T2 intro base.

I honestly think the Endo would look better if it didn't have that mirror finish.

Maybe this thing needs a black wash to bring out more of the details in it. And that would knock down the chrome some.

Dependinf how badly hot toys want to milk this i wonder if they would release different paint versions? The aoshima 1/6 came in like 4 versions...regular, shiny (though i believe most people think thats a failed attempt), damaged, and black.

When i was doing research on the hot toys 1/6 there were many people complaining the paint was not chromed so with the 1/4 i believe HT gave ppl what they want. Personally i like the chrome, because i can easily unchrome/repaint it but it would be difficult/impossible for me to get a factory mirror finish.
 
What do you think you're doing now with the light up feature?

I am not a fan of light up features but at least you can turn the light on and see it from some distance away. The removable chip would no improve the enjoyment of the figure unless someone literally is playing with the figure like a kid.

What ever...
 
Anyone tried to reverse those shoulders pistons?

That's what I also wondered the last few days...
I would like to do that on mine because since I know that the pistons are mounted the wrong way I can't really stand the look.
Doesn't look bad, but I know it's wrong. ;)
