For those without the sideshow exclusive I just received my 1/4 batman recast cowl from the Hong Kong based eBay seller. Looks alright to me. Paints OK etc and sent VERY quickly. Better than not having one.

And a 1/4 batman armory too?
1/4 scale Bat.
I had the same problem with mine. SSC told me this was the norm for this figure when I tried asking for an exchange. Decided to keep it and fix it. Mine had this problem in 3 different spots. I visited Michael's and got some fabric glue and the armor has stayed on pretty well.
To avoid glue dripping all over the place I used those plastic collar straighteners from dress shirts since it has that sharp edge to it. Squeezed the tube a little and took a very small amount with the plastic edge and placed some between the armor and clothing and held it in place until it dried.
Worked really well. I can't find the glue right now but it was a gorilla brand fabric glue. Less than $7.00.
Still can't believe SSC felt this is normal for a $500 figure.
This is why I'm getting out of collecting 1/6th & 1/4 scale high-end. The cost has sky rocketed to ludicrous levels and QC seems to have gone out of the window. When I first started collecting it was very rare that you would have any issues at all. You got what you paid for. Now the last 4 Hot Toys figures I've bought have all had QC issues and the stock reply is "They're all like that". You're paying a premium price for quality, not to be fobbed off when there's a problem.
May I ask what are you going to collect now then if you won't collect high end 1/6th or 1/4th scale figures anymore?

Ears.
In a jar.
I'll still get the NECA Alien stuff. Ironically their QC is not great but they don't cost in excess of £200 quid.
I've been eyeing up the Star Wars black line too.
After the loooooong wait I finally got my QS001. So happy to have this figure before the year ended. I patiently waited for this since August 2012! Will take time to display it though as I plan to move my collection around with new shelves fabricated soon
Thanks, Kbx82! I had it checked at the store and it was perfect! Will go check it again but I gotta work

Is there any soft rubber on this figure? I am afraid of things breaking down.
