Cheers guys! At the moment I don't have an interest in selling it yet, regardless of damage. I mean in the grand scheme of things I only see them when looking close up at them, it's more the issue of I know it's there. And to be honest the crotch and holes in the armpit were there from the box. I managed to scalpal apart the fuse of the arm and it, for the most part, looks good, just a tiny little patch from the worst part of the fuse. It's the shoulder pads that annoy me that I didn't photograph on here, the stick to the tops of his shoulders all the damn time. It's be interesting to see if others have it - the shoulder pad can be detached to get more arm movement and the material padding on the inside of it sticks to the paint of the suit.
The frustrating part is I do treat these like 3000 year old antiques haha. I've barely touched any of my Hot Toys with my actual hands and treat them so carefully, avoid damaging poses etc. It's sods law, whenever you try to apply so much care for something it ends up more damaged than someone who doesn't care... or maybe it's just because minor damage doesn't bother them or they don't look close enough... because let's face it most of us get really up close to them haha.
I'm going to see how I feel about it. But thanks for the offer The Batman. I can't imagine how people's figures hold up outside of the UK!
