Hot Toys Royal Guard

[Wor-Gar]

Mine came today, and it has a spot. I tried to clean it once and it's hardly noticeable now.

Seems like better than 50/50 chance you'll get a spot. Of people reporting here anyway.

But I'm guessing its white powder that simple washes out just fine, so no biggie. Curious what I'll get once mine ships...

I don't know what it is exactly, so sort of handling residue. And watch the material, it's very easy to snag it on your finger nail or whatever.

You mean the top of the boots ? So maybe potential rubbing during transport ?

I just thought it would amazing all these people with issues, and not seeing if it could be removed.

Looked like chalk to me in the pics, which I think they sometimes use for marking up patterns on large pieces of material.

Warm water and a little hand soap with gentle rubbing. Looks like to me it worked I’ll check when it’s fully dry View attachment 425910

Awesome ! Thanks for trying that out Jaymig !

Good to know. I think I'll just use some distilled water on a piece of soft cloth and dab it a bit. Definitely don't want to rub too much, as the material is so fine & delicate - it's like Vader's cape. How exactly did you clean yours?

 

[Futurion]

A drop of water and soft toothbrush, done.

Good to hear that you can clean up those spots with a bit of water

Looking forward to upgrading these guys over the next few months.

I have two guards and a regular Emperor on order.

I'm keeping my Sideshow Throne.

The Sideshow throne looks to be small in scale, in that pic. I have the SS Emperor so I know he's not the one out of scale.

The SSC throne is definitely a touch too small (and not a particularly screen accurate sculpt either,) though I think it's just the way j14 has posed his figure that makes it look so underscale.

I just have a tweaked Hasbro Emperor until my HT fig/throne arrives, and I would assume the Hasbro fig would be a slightly larger scale than the SSC Palps, and it looks okay scale-wise. I think the SSC throne will be fine for the HT Emperor.

A day later the spots are completely gone. Simple fix

did you get a "water mark" - I noticed you only wet the lower half of the robe, I would have guessed you might get a line where the wetness stopped then dried.

 

[Jaymig926]

No marks

thanks for posting. if mine has the spots ill try your warm water/hand soap clean-up.

Just got mine in from Sideshow. Really like the Guard, but it is a very minimal offering. Mine has the spot and I might try to was it out, but mine also has black scuffs on the helmet by the eyes. I tried to remove it with my finger nail and also a little water with no luck. It's not terrible but for this price I'm thinking it's going back for an exchange.

Good thing I suggested the water Jaymig.....

Was planning on using one plus my Medicom royal guard, assumed there would be a slight height difference but wow, need to rethink this

It's like the Stormtrooper 2 pack !

Nice figüre, but expensive considering how it's simple. I don't have room anyway.

A slight height difference like that was what i was hoping for. This seems too much. Going to try to bodyswap the Medicom.

 

[D.R.37]

I knew there was a variance in scale between Medicom and Hot Toys but have only seen it in Fetts and Troopers. Might have to grab another

Not necessarily. There is a shorter Royal Guard in ROTJ.

There, I saved you $250 bucks.
