I had the same thing happen with mine. What I did was use the slider. When the proboscis extends, grab it and pull it, till you feel it lock. I had to do it a few times and then the slider worked by itself.
be careful with the elbow joints on the new Alien warriors. i just broke the right arm elbow joint. i was just trying to reposition the arm and it just fell off.
Did the ball joint just come out or did the ball joint itself actually break?
Thanks for the tips guys, I tried it last night and it worked like a charm. Now that it's displayed out I think I would almost like it better a little open with the inner jaw still in. I'll play around with it this weekend...
OUCH! Was the AvP or Aliens?
I don't know, but it is very disappointing.
And this is a pretty straight forward figure, I can only hope the PL will be built much sturdier and with better materials, otherwise it'll be a fiasco of gigantic proportions.
Yeah, me too...
On a brighter note, I have finally got an answer from HT regarding the replacement part for my alien's knee (thanks to Jeff for pointing me in the right direction, I must've been writing to the wrong addy), so hopefully I will get a replacement.
It was a very nice mail, and very quick as well.
Also, on the OSW forums a fellow collector started a thread regarding QC and breakage problems on HT figures to bring it to the attention of his Hot Toys CS contact.
It might be worth posting any breakage problems with your HT figures there.
