Mine will probably be here early next week, little worried about the breakage reports.
In the Amazon reviews for the Diamond Select version, there was also mention of leg breakages. Both companies seem to be using different types of joints in the legs (from what I can tell from picts), maybe the plastic isn't up to the task in both cases.
Hey, sorry to ask, but does anyone know where I can find replacement parts for my brand new, just opened, and broken, Mafex Iron Spider?
Wow, was it damaged during shipping? You should try reaching out to the seller / vendor for a replacement.. Sorry about that.
We have actually heard from sources that this is a fundamental issue with the item.
Medicom is not doing anything, I think it's one of the most stubborn company's. We do know that they are re-issuing this item is late August/September with new and improved design.
When this happens we will be able to buy extra back parts and replace them for you.
Unfortunately is is a matter of waiting.
I ordered mine from HLJ, I should of posted this last week. I asked them about replacements and stuff and this was their response
If they weren't doing another run of the Iron Spider I'd be ****ed. That's just so ****** of them. Initially I'd heard that people were saying they'd provide a fix, but doesn't seem like it to those who need it unless your supplier can get it. I'm sorry your supplier isn't able to get some parts. I've seen some people use revoltech joints as replacements.
I was super careful as well. First thing I did was pull the legs off the joints and throw the whole back piece in hot water for a few minutes. 3/4 moved after doing that (I fully think all 4 would have broken had I just tried to mess with it out of the box). One just wouldn't budge, I thought I was getting it but then it just broke.
