So, I guess mine wasn't the only one that arrived with the worst case of plumber's crack ever seen in 1:6 scale? What a shock when I took him out and it was all hanging out! :horror

Thanks!!!

Well, Hot Toys is predictably re-issuing the Power Loader, also. Guess a whole new crop of collectors can enjoy the broken hoses!

Yeah. I see what you mean. Did that develop over time or was it there from day one?

As we've all compared notes, that's just how they all look right out of the box. Too early to say if there's a connection to that cosmetic flaw inherent in all of them and the deterioration. Likely, just more apathy on the part of Hot Toys as to quality control.

That seems to be the norm. Mine and everyone else's without cracks so far look just like yours. But what awaits us in a couple months? As consumers, do we return them in disgust to show HT they can't get away with it or as collectors make do with the only choice available to us?

Only reassuring in that if they all look like that, then there is no reason to exchange it simply for that flaw (case closed, move on). But now we have the looming threat once again of deterioration.

That WOULD have been reassuring (sort of) until the reports of total deterioration.

This is outrageous! I just opened mine but I'm already a couple weeks into my return policy. I was already worried about the rubber used when this thread ignited today. Even out of the box, the edges are a bit warped and you can see that they did spray some kind of sealant on it. I was here...

After nearly year and a half waiting for this thing, I finally receive it. Now, I've been trying for 2 weeks to contact Toyfreakz for a replacement. First, one of the panels that reveal the face wouldn't open but halfway. After trying at least a hundred times, with no response from Toyfreakz...

How is this different than the die-cast release except for the removable visor and damaged shoulder, both of which could have easily been included in the release many of us put a deposit on???

Re: Mazinger Z & Super Robots (Shogun Warriors) - Official thread!! Oh my God! https://www.collectiondx.com/news_item/102512/soul_chogokin_danguard_ace I hope this is true. I want the three robots that were packaged as Marvel's Shogun Warriors, but Yamato's Danguard Ace is way bigger than...

If that's what he's gotta do, then he better get in that gym... or Karl Urban it is! I'm sure that Kojima will get involved. He tends to keep control over these kinds of things more so than other producers. In either case, I'm sure he'll retain some final say and it will have to be a...
