Hot Toys Royal Guard

Just curious with the people who received replacement robes from Sideshow. Did yours arrive wadded up like a used washcloth and then wrapped in bubble wrap? Cause that's how mine arrived and it's completely unusable. They knew exactly what they were doing. The thing could have easily been laid out flat, or even folded over once..but they chose to treat it like something you'd use to scrub the grime off your stove.

Did it have white or dark spots?
Why it´s unusable?
Ironing can´t fix that?

Pictures please!!!

I wonder if you can iron back to life or did they ruin those chest wrinkles? Those would be pretty difficult to put back in.

Irioning did the job - there are spots though I discovered on my original. No biggie, but however I was looking forward to the replacement robe.

Yeah man, there's creases galore everywhere, including the chest folds. That's the issue, it's not just limited to part of the robe. Like I was saying, it was just literally wadded-up like a piece of trash and then tightly wrapped with bubble wrap. I mean, it was as if they were sending me a dirty gym sock as a joke or something..but instead it was a very expensive and delicate 1/6 robe.

Did you get my package? I prefer those delicate silky type in red, and I didn't wash them like you asked.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Here's my review of the Royal Guard. Tried the ironing trick, and it worked pretty well. Those pleats down the side were tricky though. Happy enough with it for the moment. Love that inner suit!

I got mine and he had a number of spots on the lower robe around the knees. Since I don't have an iron (ahem) I held the robe over a boiling pan so that it was picking up a lot of steam and rubbed the spot from either side of the cloth between thumb and forefinger. It seemed to do the trick as I couldn't see them any more, although an iron is probably a better route as you can get the large creases out of the drape at the same time.


I've had to put him back in the box as I'm moving house again in a couple of weeks, but I put some kitchen paper under the robe to protect it from the knees and also on top to stop it touching the clamshell. I'll see if they've reappeared when I get round to opening him again.

This is gonna sounds blasphemous, but I think the best route to go would be to cut the lower portion of the clamshell off. So nothing at all will be touching the robe. I would say rapping the robe with some saran wrap would be a good method, but that could cause some fabric creasing. I'm just thinking that even if the robe is covered in something, that plastic will still put pressure on the robe.

Has anyone received these from UK based suppliers yet? Still awaiting on my pre order from Animegami.

Looks like I will get a new robe from KGHobby. No doubt with plenty of spots.
But that will be tons better than I got in the first place so..

Looking good. They are a really sharp figure.

 

[TonTon]

They’re more impressive than the emperor.

 

[Darth Fok]

Picked up two of these and no stains on the cloaks. One of the figure had weaker leg joints and the other has firm joints. Good thing their poses are simple

Well, ****.

I just bought an Emperor.
