Finished the whole returns thing on body with issues, he's all swapped out now, finally had a short while to take some pics. Nothing fancy, too busy getting ready for SDCC art show. Love the figure, basically. No regrets. Looks better in pics than in person; which would normally be a bad...

My replacement body is on the way as well. Funny, they told me the same thing, something about rockets, a Barbie head, and some duct tape...

I'm not swearing off HT yet, but I do think that if it was my company and problems like this were happening I'd take a really close look at my line. Because it seems like an easy thing to address, that has a really negative impact on how people perceive the company. I contacted SS about it...

Ahahahahah. Yeah. Glad it's not just me being overly picky. :exactly: Not that I spend ages in TRU picking through for figs with the stencils lined up perfectly... *cough* I'm wondering if I have bad luck with SS and Iron Man... years ago I got that Best Buy exclusive with the little bust in it...

I'm contacting them now, so can let you know what they tell me - it's probably best to start there. How long is it glowing for? I'd wiggle the switch, they're pretty tiny and probably easy to not get off all the way...?

Yeah, I mean, I don't want to be down on the company, especially since this is my first experience... though it seems not to be a fluke, since I've seen a lot here re: issues. But seeing this kind of thing brings to mind "they just didn't care" /MST3K And yeah. Magnets. Magnets all the time...

Mine came, and it's got QC issues. >_> One side of a... back ankle cover was popped off, easy fix... but on the other leg, the pieces don't align. I *think* I can pop the pieces back in alignment, but I'm a bit nervous about manhandling it. It's also DEFINITELY got one missing screw cover...

Thanks! Wish I'd gotten more/better but sadly I was pretty sick when I was there. Do hope I'll get to go back. Everything at that park is exceptionally well executed; it's quite extraordinary. You definitely get the feeling that it's all the ideas the Imagineers had that got shot down for budget...

I'm with you on the extras/open helmet. Hoping to snag him some spare goodies here or eBay. But there's one advantage to the head alone for photos ;) "Alas, poor Jarvis... I knew him well" ;) If you were feeling really nerdy, you could theoretically pull a mold from the helmet and make your own...

I was REALLY hoping it was my imagination. Or that there was some secret store where you had to do "shave and a haircut" to get in. :slap Guess I'll just stay out of the shops unless I want to set off another rant about merchandising hah. I can't imagine how they've gone so wrong. Is it better...

Ah, that makes sense! Thanks. Godspeed to the Iron Men joining Alpha Flight ;)

Suddenly going to WDW this weekend (briefly). Have only been to Epcot and "formerly" MGM in any remotely recent years. Been kinda let down by a lot of the changes there; and at Hollywood Studios. The shop where I got my awesome vintage posters (Tron original, Black Hole from Argentina, and 1970s...

So everyone is getting theirs via FedEx? Mine's coming via UPS; it's not getting here until Tuesday (obviously I'm farther away). Weird, I'd rather have had FedEx. I do worry about anything coming UPS since at least 50% of the packages I get from them look like an elephant played rugby with...

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios! Ahahahah yes. Love whomever came up with that. Well, you know, the Doctor shows up when he's needed, not when he's expected... ;) I ordered an HT Iron Man the other day and realized that my 1/6th figure collection is going to be the...

Ordered. Probably shouldn't have but also don't regret it. IMHO, all the armor versions have their selling point and I liked the price point on this one (since I'd not gotten a Mk III or Mk VI on secondary market after missing preorders due to pricing). Besides, the timing makes for a perfect...

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios! This is my first experience with a long pre-order of this type, so I don't have a comparison. I think BC is doing a very good job and I'm pleased overall. It's really not a complaint, just a suggestion that it's been the amount of time...

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 from Big Chief Studios! Yeah the new companion announcement today reminded me how badly I'm itching for my 11! I'm still interested in Amy, too, but really would like to have my figure to decide if I really want her as well... I'm still fine with them working out...

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement! For those having trouble with rooted hair on ones they already have, you tried gently stroking it with an anti-static dryer sheet? Those things can do wonders even outside the dryer. You could condition the hair with something, but I'd hesitate since...

LaMelnik I think it was since you were helping people with Doors. Things were moving pretty fast though... That got asked of SSC on Monday and we were told yes, that was the real Mistress :)

Re: New Doctor Who 1:6 and 1:4 announcement! Nice, Xeno :) Glad to hear you got it sorted. Planning to just make a fez, since I have some lovely wool felt lying around anyway. And I'm sure I can manage a mop. Wish the figure was coming out sooner, going to have way too much time to think...
