Mars Toys 89 Alfred

[vspectra]

Was the button stitched on?

Was the button stitched on?

No it’s one of those little press buttons that’s glued in place. I might have found a solution though a different figure (Marty McFly) has some spares that look the same size. Just need to paint them gold and use some fabric glue and I should be good to go.

I’m not sure if I would use the little sleeve deals even though that was what I was thinking. They’re fairly tight and can probably take the buttons off if you’re not careful.

Alfred has arrived!
Love the likeness and accessories!

 

[Mike86]

Well I manage to paint the buttons and glue them in place. Not perfect but they’ll do. The gold paint I bought is more matte than the other gold buttons but not a huge deal.

I put his black sleeves on and yeah, it was a bitch. Can’t believe I didn’t rip his buttons off. There are four in total right, two on each sleeve.

I got him in the green apron, he’s looking very snazzy. Thinking of getting him a 1/6 water pitcher and glass. Was going to take one of his extra coats and throw it over his arm. Yeah, it’s not one of Bruce’s Armani bullet ridden coats like the film but folded over the arm, who could tell.

Mob Joker, Alfred and Bruce Wayne, great figures. So happy to have them and glad people are getting second, third and fourth tries at them. They shouldn’t be missed.

If you happen to find a pitcher and glass please let me know.

Are the extras in storage or on display?

The other 2 are in the box. I have the 95 batmobile coming next month. A moducase coming in April and when both these arrive I’ll be able to pose another Alfred. My figures are currently cramped up together in an unorganized matter

Did you see the new Moducase RGB lights with the programmable app?

The white light appears to be dimmer but i like the option of different colors and convenience of turning them on /off with the app.

Initially, my figures were nicely spaced out in my Moducases but lately I’ve been cramming all my figures into a crowded display because I’m running out of space and want to keep the figures dust free. Time to order more cases.

I started throwing out some boxes and consolidating - I have 3 Mars Jokers (threw out 2 boxes and kept all the accessories in the remaining box).

For whoever missed out on Alfred’s hat. $25…

Ok mine arrived today… with the glasses stuck between two layers of the packaging completely twisted and broken…
Other than that, the figure looks great.

 

[LeonThePro]

My glasses were not broken but arrived pancaked. They were sandwiched between the two plastic clam-shells. I used a hair dryer to warm up the plastic and bend them back into shape.

That's a bummer man. Do you think a repair is possible? I never seem to have much luck gluing things.

 

[Captain Clown]

Thanks Mars!

 

[JacktheRipper]

Sorry, Cap. That gave me a chuckle

 

[TonTon]

Arguably the one accessory that needed the most protection

 

[MGS_OldBoy57]

Mine arrived too. Rubbed painted off on the nose

Oddly it had a plastic sleeve over the head and it still got rubbed off.

 

[Captain Clown]

The glasses can kinda be “warped” back into shape, but they’re still screwed up. I’ll have to ask Giantoy about a replacement.

The way they packed the glasses is really weird.

Alfred himself looks great though. I’m impressed.

what's with all the QC issues all of a sudden?
