Sideshow Can't get a body right?

[OSCORP]

The hobbits Had loose joints on the small body, Then Clonobi on the armor body, Now reports of the Prometheus is loose as well. WTH SS?

What is Medicom and Hot Toys and other company's doing and have been doing that you cannot? The figures seem to be great in every other aspect, so what gives? This will keep you sideshow from playing with the big boys if it's not addressed.



I warn you now..............Don't ^^^^ up that Vader in anyway or Fans will......................................


(and they are already starting to)

Man, I just purchase a Pro Body on ebay!! Wish I new about this before the purchase. Have any one try to fix this problem themselves??

 

[OSCORP]

I really don't know if there could be a way.

 

[galactiboy]

Really is a bummer... I'll of course wait till I get my Indy before final judgment, but so far I've had the same issues as everyone else with the Hobbits and Clonobi.

 

[RJMacReady16]

Yeah something stinks, and for the first time in awhile it isn't me.....

 

[Agent0028]

What figure is on the pro that has loose joints?

 

[OSCORP]

INDY .

 

[Agent0028]

Ah, didn't realize people were getting him already. That really sucks.

Sideshow can make the best 1/6 body if they want to.

But as long as people keep buying, why would they?

 

[Bardoon]

I wonder what the cause it though? Poor construction design? Poor quality materials? Poor manufacturer handling?

I hope Sideshow fixes it because I am JUST NOW starting to get into their 12'' figures...and I'll glady pass on much more if we have poor quality bodies.

Can we hold off on the witch hunt until at least the milk turns sour? We have 2nd hand reports from a few buyers about the body - why don't you wait until you have it in hand to start stirring the cauldron?

People who complain outnumber the people who don't by 10 to 1. Loose bodies have always been a piece to piece thing. Out of 200-300 SSC bucks that I have, maybe 3 have loose joints.

Out of the 70+ Sideshow figures this is by far the worst. Its the 1st production run of the pro so that may be the reason, I dont know, but it is very very loose.

Still 10 times better than the buck, just too loose.

If the future pros and tighter, which I have think they will be, Sideshow will have a great base body.

 

[The Craw]

let me tell you, loose...is never good. it just doesnt feel right.

This is the 3rd new body that is loose. I think the milk is at the very least turning clumpy!


Heres another Pro report that's loose

Well based on my experiences with both Hobbits (floppy as marionettes) and Clone Armor Obi (very loose but not really floppy), I am very concerned about all the new bodies.

 

[EVILFACE]

HT TT has rubber disks inbetween the joints. Does the pro have those? I imagine the armor body would since it's a retooled TT.

 

[YoNoSe]

You definitely need to use rubbers between the joints on a loose pro.

 

[galactiboy]

I don't think its too much of a leap as every report has said the body was loose. I'm let down that the new bodies (of which I have the previous 2 already) have had loose joints and that seems to be the norm.

Maybe these loose new bodies (now apparently 3-for-3 in that dept) are an under-handed conspiracy to make us appreciate the crappy Buck.
