MAFEX Batman v Superman: DOJ Action Figures

[LIBBY1957DOG]

glad thing worked out with you guys figures ,they are smashing little figures and a ton of fun to mess around with ,and im sure in scale with the mattel batmobile for a cheap option to repaint and fix up

platty yeah i reckon a little dullcoat would fix the streaks on his cowl

sewol be careful with the heating up ,i heated up bats ,on a radiator ,nice and soft but the plastic felt like it was going to tear at the joint rather than move

plastic b yeah well i heard back from hlj and they offered to send replacements if i sent the old ones back ,or refund me the purchase price but not the postage ,in light of the apparent poor qc on these figure and the customs duty i paid and would have to pay again on the replacements ,thats a no go
so i asked for a partial refund ,they agreed on 25%per figure ,but want me to have it in store credit ,
its not likely ill ever buy from them again so waiting to see if they will give me a cash refund

i think for the next wave wonder woman etc ill just wait and see if it gets better before i buy ,the cheap mattel basic figure is in nice scale with bats and supes for a stand in ,so i might see if i can fix her up a bit and wait a while ,if mafex don't fix them il just buy the knock offs ,less than half the price ,and no parcel farce to deliver them and no customs duty lol

I think, the figure I like the most out of there is Flash

Just sharing how I tightened up Mafex Superman

 

[LIBBY1957DOG]

hey thanks for posting ,handy to know but that stuff sure is hard to find in the uk ,any brits seen it or a equivalent product about ,

well after repairing supes i got a little more confident about messing with these figure and decided to upgrade or downgrade ,depending on your point of view the cape on bats for a non wired one ,got tired of trying to make it look good ,not that it cant be made to look good but its a pain in the arse to me ,

not super movie accurate but close enough for me this time round ,makes him a lot easier to stand up

So HLJ didn't come through for you LIBBY?

well they sort of did ,in all honesty they offered a full refund and returned postage ,but as i paid £31 customs duty ,and i couldn't in all conscience expect them to refund that ,i would have been well out of pocket
they offered to send a new set on receiving the broken one and one with missing parts back ,i would have had to wait a fair while pay more customs duty on the replacements and no guarantee that the new ones wouldn't be as bad as my last ones
so i opted to keep and repair ,they offered 25% partial refund on the figures , not the total order cost and not postage ,which didn't really seem a great offer to me in terms of repairing customer confidence and encouraging me to shop with them again ,i won't ,but in light of my predicament ,the only viable solution

I paid like bloody 28$ for the Batman but fortunately its a good copy touchwood



Superimposed both the Bat and Sups in a fan made poster, which i found online which was kind of low resolution.If only the Wonder Woman figure was released with these two figure.

Yeah you were in a tough spot. I wouldn't put all the blame on HLJ, I'd be more wary about Mafex stuff than HLJ themselves

Do you have to pay customs every time you get something from Asia?

pretty much every time i buy anything from overseas i get stuck with customs duty ,i think anything over $30 value is subject to customs duty ,at 20% plus a handling fee of whatever they feel like charging at the time ,typically £8 to £16 where it gets really dirty is they add the postage cost to the declared vale just to shove it up you a little further ,so a boxed hot toys figure costing say $235 plus $50 postage is taxed at $285 and 20%tax plus £15 handling fee runs about £60
some sellers will help you out by declaring a lower value on the forms but you cant really blame them if they wont
so new hot toys bvs bats at scalper price $600 is a terrifying prospect as it is without customs charges
