Hot Toys – MMS204 - The 1/6th scale ED-209 Collectible

[user 46673]

Thanks for that, I'm in CA too. I'll be sure to go w/ UPS then!

 

[franpincho]

Hell, take it yourself! Riot!!

I just packed up ED.
Tomorrow he´s gone and then the wait for the new one is on.

Do you mean wait for a new possibly defective HT one or new figure/company all together?

Now I just need to be able to remove the legs and get him back in his styrofoam home...

 

[franpincho]

I'm pretty sure Endo is in Germany. Might just be his only option.

 

[Vrolokus]

So I haven't even opened my ED yet, for lack of a spot to display him. Has anyone tried returning to Sideshow unopened?

 

[user 46673]

Any advice/tips on how to remove the legs, I watched the youtube video of that one dude doing it so easily, but I don't want to risk damaging the figure, any other methods?

EDIT: scratch that, managed to pop it off w/ a letter opener because I didn't have a slotted screw driver lying around...

EDIT #2: I must admit tho, I'm pretty sad returning this figure.

Update from secretcompass, they're willing to take a return on the item but I eat shipping costs originally sent to me and back to them since I received free shipping the first time around...

Can you elaborate more? I ordered mine from secretcompass when they had it for $321. They are will to accept a return?

 

[user 46673]

Yes, just contact them and explain to them that you do not want to have a defective product and they should be willing to provide a refund, minus shipping to and from. I explained to them that my dome is still pristine but its inevitable that it will eventually crack, I also informed them that the rubber joint pieces have started to degrade slightly...

I'm still waiting on Cornerstore Comics for a reply.

ready to get my 1/6 robo shooting at my battle damage ed 209

New ED-209 is on his way.
My seller advised me not to touch the dome during assembly.
Did HT advise him in turn?
Does touching it affect the integrity?

 

[Spiker]

Nonsense

What rubbish!! You should have asked them for some surgical gloves..
My ED is long gone now.. what sad times are upon us : (

 

[Eisselmann]

Just as Endo I am getting my new ED soon.

Good thing is if it happens again we'll get our money back.

I don't think a replacement is going to help fix the dome. Hot Toys needs to address the issue and send free plastic replacement pieces to everyone who bought this but they won't so %$#@ 'em.

Great to hear! Good luck!

Thanks.

Have my fingers crossed...

 

[chris rankin]

Cancelled mine as I am not taking the risk with a 400 euro figure. It's a shame as I was looking forward to it but I guess Robo will have to do for now.

 

[Eisselmann]

Unpacked my new ED209.
Still shiny and w/o cracks...

It's such a shame that they messed up this really beautiful figure.

Can't wait for Murph!

 

[EndoSickness]

Mine´s not here yet, Monday, I guess.
When I see first cracks I´ll get me mod podge, or silicon grease?
I WILL keep him and preserve him!
