This is sad to see.
That was my first order with them and it looks as if it's going to be the last. I've never encountered such poor Customer Service, and with so many other options available, there's no reason to bother again.Totally with you about Popcultcha. I?ve got a ton of pennies with them still and I am not ordering from them again. I?ve found other places with better, quicker customer service, cheaper prices and much faster delivery.
Well, shoot, now I'm getting worried about receiving a faulty figure... Eh, whatever happens, happens. I just want them to send me the damn invoice so that I can pay it off and be done with it. I'm not in Australia, so no matter from where I order the price is more or less the same. The tax is insane. I bought an HT Jack Sparrow from ToysWonderland last Black Friday. With shipping it came to about 550 Euros. Then I paid 170 euros on customs! So no matter where I buy the actual fig from, I pay tons of taxes in the end. There are some local stores, but they charge a lot. Endgame Iron Man is 550 euros. But I pay no shipping, although I'm not sure on taxes, although I'm pretty sure they're nothing. From PC, it's 430 Euros, plus 50 in shipping and I assume another 150 on taxes, so it comes out pricier, now that I think of it. Shame I discovered these local shops only recently. I might even cancel my PC order and go buy it from here, just because I'm pissed. Anyway, I'm not going to be ordering from PC again.Regarding Popcultcha, I ordered from them once and they sent me the wrong figure. The figure they sent me was easily worth $100+ more than the one I ordered (and I already had that particular figure), but yeah, it sent me the signal that I should not order from them again. In terms of Australian retailers, I do like Sugo toys though
Another thing to keep in mind is that the clear plastic is probably gonna turn yellow over time. I just don't get their decision to not make all of the pieces removeable.
This is sad to see.
I don't think so. I think the only parts that are removable are the swap out parts (chest, gauntlets, helmet, boots, hip discs). The rest isn't because those are all articulating areas of the figure; there are various articulated panels (flight flaps, ab crunch, feet flaps) that are just translucent plastic.I've seen some of the pics on Hot Toys' site that looks like the clear plastic is covering crucial areas (like covering up a switch) so surely it's removeable. Without them confirming or clarifying this, I won't even take the risk. Will hold to a later time to see if I buy in or not.
If they had gotten it closer to this, I would have been fine with it. Crucially, the crystal detailing here includes the hands.I wonder if this Pia Sylphid is responsible for the better or worse (or both) design choices for the recent Iron Man HT releases.

If no one buys this they might. They will surely know why no one likes this. It is already pretty clear.
I think I see the part on his back (sideshow photos on slide 15) where it looks like the battery and switch goes. However, I don't think that entire plastic piece comes off. If you look closely you can see a section of the back that is sectioned off/removable so that you can add the batteries. Doesn't look like its the entire thing.
Double entendre lol
