I've got a wonky internet connection right now so I couldn't load up the YouTube video. How far does the head tilt back? Is it just like the IP or is it as flexible as the Mk.VII? Are the flaps on the back the only working flaps on the figure? From OMG's pics, it seemed like the calves could also open up (like in previous IM figures).

It seems like Hot Toys really outdid itself with this one. It's so movie accurate, it even got the falling apart feature right. (Just kidding so please don't burn me at the stake!) In all honesty, I really think this figure turned out great. If I could wish for anything more on the figure it would be for it to have the other airbrakes shown on the skydiving scene to be deployable too.

What's wrong with the ED209?

Hmm wonder how much I can make off all the accessories. I just kinda need the bare fig XD hopefully $150 like I did with the Marl VI accessories

Are there any new reports of damage to the arms

Are there any new reports of damage to the arms

Just the ones from Facebook. ClipperKing has been posing and posing this guy and he hasn't mentioned any problems so I honestly don't know how valid the issues are

The rubber dome is bad again and for 400$ that's just unacceptable. So for this guy to be breaking at another 300$+
im not pulling the trigger till I know its safe.

Some thing to look out for the pics on Facebook showed the wrapper still on the figure meaning it was damaged in the box. It would be a shame if this thing is messed up I think the proper way to move it would be at the shoulder instead of the arms to move the whole joint and not the lower half putting extra strain on it

he also said he was treating it gently, which everyone should be doing anyway

The thing is we don't know what that guy was doing with his MK XLII. It may be a one time thing or huge issue. If people on here start having issues then I'll get concerned

Yeah I've yet to trust one of those photos Who knows how they broke it

I agree that we shouldn't immediately panic, but I would proceed with caution. When two pictures maybe even more are out already this soon after release I become curious. If broken shoulders become a trend then you have my attention, and I'll likely pass.

However, it may not even be a defect but instead a typically cautious collector exploring the vastly improved articulation of this figure with a "diecast induced" false sense of confidence in the figures overall integrity.

This figure does look fantastic for so many reasons though. It's going to take a whole lot of broken shoulder occurrences to hold me at bay.

All i can say is this isnt a spiderman shoulder issue where it seemed like everyone had one. These are isolated incidents

Exactly it could be any number of things combined. I am cautious about this as well but then again there isn't a figure I own that I am not cautious with or about when first released. If people here start having problems then I will get concerned but as of right now I am simply excited

Yes they might be just isolated incidents as you've said

 

[Royce12]

I have a question about the shoulder gaps that show up in almost all of the pictures.. Is there a way to get it to lay flush and appear connected like it does in the proto shots and the power pose figure? That's the only bit that bugs me a little. It some shots it looks like a chunk of armor is missing..

Those gaps annoy me too. Might just be a case of futzing. I hate the pictures where his arm is out wide and it seems to just be floating there by a tiny little connection - kills any realism.

Anyone?

Maybe here from Elljay.
