I call Hot Toys plant :lol

I'm less worried now, hopefully I dont get a bad one :pray: I dont like the Arc Reactor, for some reason the more I look at it the crappier it looks
 
Maybe its just about time. We have a german collector who receive it from HK, posed it and posed it again, everything fine. A day later he want to add the BD parts and with the first move on the arm it breaks.

It can be ok for 4-8 moves, but try to explain if it happens to the 10-12 move? And another collector Ben Chan from FB OSR group says his 42 breaks with the first move out of the box

Does it break on forward/backward movement or up/down?
And how was the movement handled? Some collectors have posted on fb saying u need to hold the ball joint rather than grabbing the forearm or wrist area.

We need details people!!

sigh... fingers crossed that we late adopters get a revised batch.

I wonder whats gonna happen with the faulty ones imported from HK
It's neither the sellers' or the collectors' fault, it's Hot Toy's.
Yet, it's gonna be either the seller or buyer getting punish.

Nice pic! Tony looks like some people stole his armors and are doing selfies and he's chasing them down.

well i just wanna experiment something out of the mainstream pose, and previously i had a sticky non movable finger issue with my war machine mark 2, so i made this pose:

Indeed, wonder if that is why diecast haters have been relatively quiet on this issue.... :naughty

One of my main concerns with diecast has always been quality control. It simply takes more prep work to get a similar finish on metal as to plastic (leaving aside durability).

Oily Batman DX02
Oily Comedian
ED-209 V1 and 2 rubber rotting almost instantly
Hellboy Knees
Scuffed Batmobiles
Spidey shoulders.
This IM shoulder.

I'm sure others can add to the list.

Even if this particular failure is on the plastic, it's symptomatic of HT QC all over, and let's be blunt, that hovers between garbage and non-existent.
