Action Figure Hot Toys - VGM17 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance - Raiden

If you like it then fix it. If you feel you cant sell it. If when you take it apart and the peg is too tight you may have to also snip one or two of the holes to give the ratchet more flex. Your call.

Looks like Raiden is about to summon a little lightning

So the only way is to fix it using super glue?
I'm torn between have to sell this figure or trying to fix

It really is an easy fix and worth it. Afterwards you'll have a great figure. Plus when do you think HT will ever make another Raiden figure. I'm just sayin...

Thanks for the advice. I decided to keep this figure & maybe will ask someone competent to fix it. Cheers

Well I got my replacement arm today, just checked it and its good, popped it on and will not move it again as I'm sure it will break if I do.

Does anybody know the charge you receive if you do not destroy the pieces you are getting replaced? Im getting new arms for my Raiden, and i dont mind destroying the old ones. But if the cost is negligible i would consider taking it so i have some spare armor/sleeves

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

I got mine today too, it works but it had the feeling in it like its springy, so to me i see it breaking soon. They never at any time told me i had to destroy the other so i think ill take this one apart, fix it, then sell it. Its a lefty if someone needs one. Im also open to a trade plus $ to have a fixed lefty. I wish i had gotten both but i dropped the ball on that.

I figured as much would happen, these are not revised arms, just the same ones pulled off there current stock which is why I'm going to leave mine alone.

A few shots I took today while filming a review

I'm just going to email them back and tell them I want a discount to keep the figure. This is dumb.

I these got my 2nd one in now and BROKEN AS WELL. **** you Hot toys. What a joke of a company. Can't even test something before it goes out. Now I can see why the ED209 turn out like a POS aswell.

So, I'll be un-boxing mine this weekend. Looks like don't bend the arms at all and it should be fine, right? I was worried with Gamora after seeing all the issue people were having with her arms. So, when I got mine I didn't even bend it. So, is the similar issue with Raiden, right? Just don't bend the arms and it should be fine?

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

they could already be broken and thats your decision to do so but my left arm never worked until i fixed it. its a shame i think when people just succumb to the idea that theyre going to take a $300 collectible and wont ever bend the arm. what if you intend on selling it? youll lose a lot of money for having a broken figure or worse pass it on to another not knowing its defective and have to deal with a return or a possible negative feedback.

Yeah man, none of the HK collectors are having this issue. So, maybe is a bad batch we're getting. But, is no excuse because like you mentioned is a $300 figure and we shouldn't be dealing with this issue. I might not even open it and tell S.S. that with all the issues that I'm seeing and if I do open it the likely hood of it being broken is high that they should just refund me. I like the figure a lot but I don't want a broken $300 figure

Here is my review if anyone's interested

 

[bestbuddy09]

That's not 100% true do to the first one I got I bent the arm and I heard a click and then it broke itself inside. The new one I these got it was already broken no click or anything because it was already broke itself but then moving the arm back in wrong way there was clicks but didn't do it again do to the ratch moved. But on both figures the other arm is fine and I can move that one up and down as much as I liked. I these don't get how a ACTION FIGURE company don't test a ACTION FIGURE. Like WHAT!? A action figure is going to be posed and displayed so if I can move a figures arms because doing so the ratch is these goin to brake itself do to it's to strong SOMEONE at sideshow didn't test this ****. That's all what it means. Hot toys doesn't fully test or think ahead on alout of there figures they make it so it looks good and send it out but they don't test for **** like iron man with pink arm the ed209 and watchman figure and that's these some that I know of that showed nobuddy tested it or thinked about it they these said make it work. Lucking for me I have 4 other raiden figure but would still like to have this one. These sucks because Hot toys is still being hot toys for almost 15 years now... oOo I also forgot the problems with the alien figure to.

 

[bestbuddy09]

Yeah and it's sad because it's a nice figure but they should of these made the arms like the legs with all plactic with a joint in the middle. I can give 2 **** if I see a joint or not but I do know 80% of collectors don't what to see joints on there action figure..... Yeah. It's a action figure.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Them not testing these arms and quality checking them is ridiculous really. Especially for the price. Red Reaiden will be the same I bet
