Hot Toys- 300 - King Leonidas spec and pics

[The Ween]

I just ordered one from conerstorecomics.com. This figure is something I just cannot pass.

AOOO AOOO AOOO!

 

[MarfMaster]

This figure really is something to look at. He's a little different than what I'm used to getting, since costumes are often a big part of what I love about a character and he is...lacking in this area but still, overall has great "shelf presence."

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I got mine today. I am happy, he is cool. I put the SPARTA head on him. Worth it. The END.

 

[Raymond F.]

Haha amazing!!

That's a quote for my tombstone no doubt...

Wookster thanks for the tips when I get back to my figure I'll try tnkering around with it more to see if the joints have the right alignment... But there is just SO much resistance all over... The elbows, shoulders... Arms I'm afraid to force ANYTHING

 

[Raymond F.]

see mine can mo e like that with the arm away from the body to the side... What I'm irritated is that it can't move forward easy you said it moved forward comfortably 90 degree not I have not seen a photo that suggests it does and mine does not want to bend that way at all.

From that pic Leo's body seems to be similar to the previous muscle bodies. I'm a little worried about the articulation now. I want to get a Leonidas body, because it's been said that the body is a greater improvement over the other muscle bodies.

I'll try and take a few shots later to beter show the range.

Thanks, I've started to get "chicken little" syndrome.

 

[wookster]

Well I took a few shots earlier but all my camera cables are at work and because of the bank holiday Monday I can't upload them till Tuesday. But the arms bent up forwards an easy 85 degrees and back by about 45.

 

[Raymond F.]

Ugh. This must be like Karma for me or something... so i go to move it in the way that wookster claimed it did and I did it with the utmost trepidation I might add barely ANY force... did not even get to about 30 degrees ... of course what does it do? IT SNAPS. right at the shoulder. exactly like I said it would ____!!

I'm so frustrated with this piece of junk When HT sends me a replacement... which of course won't be for months with how slow they are and with me paying money to ship the thing to them... when i get the new figure I don't even think its standing erect... I think it's going straight to ebay

Oh and when i went to move his elbow from the bent position there was a giant unnatural crease left in the rubber.

My word of advice take it or leave it...DO NOT POSE THIS THING... Leave it standing straight or prepare for breaks/ creases and a whole other slew of problems...

of COURSE with all my complaining this has to happen to me. It figures. I swear i barely touched it. Very disappointed in hot toys.

ugh...

 

[MarfMaster]

Sorry to hear that Ray I've had no problem posing mine...you are the only one I've heard that is less than stoked with this figure. Bad luck indeed

 

[Centrocal]

OMG New emoticons

 

[Raymond F.]

Im like.. beyond choked right now...

 

[Raymond F.]

pictures of the break?? Yes i'll post them later

Are you sending the broken body back to HT? I thought their policy was just to destroy it and them show photos. Also, this maybe just to Europe but I've dealt with HT customer service twice and they were quite quick in dealing with my problem. Took me about a month to recieve my replacements from emailing them. Good luck.

I know how frustrated you get when something breaks when you where so careful. Never broke a body but when the PERS system broke on my Joker I was like F' this S***!

 

[mjordan23]

Same thing happened to me. My king Leo broke at right shoulder. Do u think hot toys will send us new body?

 

[Entropy]

That's horrible to hear, Ray.

 

[Raymond F.]

Ive had breaks before and it's by far the worst!

the last break I had I had to show them photos and a proof of purchase... then send it to them then had to ait until they said they were sending me a new once which ended up being 3 months later

Dude that sucks. I wonder if it is a manufacturing problem. Some joker didn't get the arms in the right position before it went into the mold? The rubber bodies are tough because you can't see the joint positions. Who did you buy it from? Can you send it back to them or does it have to go back to HT?
