Hot Toys Powerloader
This is used and will be shipped loose with none of the original packaging. Disassembly would be too risky.
It has the usual problem whereby most of the black hoses snapped their connectors clean off. It seems my failed attempt to glue some of these hoses back on was careless and caused a big glossy glue mark (pictured). It also looks like the loader may have stepped in some glue as there's a patch under its foot than even has carpet fibres adhered to it.
Another thing I need to mention is at one point one of its shoulders snapped. It happened years ago and my brother assisted me in repairing it. However, as I examined it in preparation for this write-up I couldn't recall or even ascertain visually which shoulder it was that broke - or at what part exactly - I couldn't see the evidence. I take that to mean we did a good job in the fix.
The electronic feature works but I cannot ship it with batteries.
It should be noted that due to their weight the arms and legs aren't what I would call tight, they move somewhat freely from the shoulder and hip. I don't believe this would be unique to my Loader. There will also be what looks like paint scratches but most of this, if not all, is part of the original weathering deco.
