Well it happened... The right elbow broken on mine.

Damn! How did it happened?

 

[Snake Plissken]

No idea. I finally get around to organizing my setup and noticed it was busted.

 

[Solidus]

Ugh, that sucks man. Are you gonna buy a new Raiden?

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'm done with that replacing type of ****. I'll either try to fix it, or just leave it as is. My Old Snake's had a broken hip for awhile now so it's just more of the same.

I also was also messing with my one Wolverine and his neck adapter has a crack in it now. I'm going to order some spares, should of did it awhile ago. Although, I might be able to save it with some super glue.

 

[Jameson Rook]

I bought about half a dozen spare neck adapters for my T-800's and Reeve Supes, they'll go bad eventually.

 

[Snake Plissken]

You definitely need them for the Tech Noir. I don't know if you remember, but I went through three of them and every one had a cracked one. I got one from The Skull and it was brand spanking new from SSC, he never opened it... and it was broken. Funny, I stole the one out of a spare Reeve body for it

I just bought four on eBay. I really should have a "medkit" for my 1/6 stuff. I'm completely rearranging my collection right now. I haven't mentioned it, but it's been a mess for about a year now. Nothing looked "nice." Everything is in disarray. Since I'm getting the Blitzway Ghostbusters soon, I assume August, I wanted to have one shelf only for them. And I put together a shelf specifically for the NECA Turtles.

By the way, Ryan. Look into Tony Mei's Facebook page. He's doing a newer run of the Reeve suit. He did one a few years ago, but he's starting another one and he's putting together the materials for it. I'm definitely in for it. I think the emblem is fabric.

 

[Jameson Rook]

There are ZERO Tech Noirs and Reeve Supes that still has a mint neck adapter- anything from 2012 and before would have cracked by now, even if the figure is MIB. You're better off stocking on those replacements. I could be wrong, but the DX10 was around the time where the adapters got more sturdy.

Anyway, how are those shelves looking like nowadays?

 

[Snake Plissken]

Well they're dusty I've been extremely careless with it. But, I'm going to clean everything off and by next week since I have a four day weekend, I planned on taking a full photo shoot of everything I got. There's a bunch of stuff I got that I never photoed yet since everything was a mess. I've been meaning to put a major update to my collection thread.

If I had to guess, I think I got 70 or more 1/6 figures now.

Damn! but do yourself a favor and try the fix posted in this thread. It really does work. The scariest part is removing the rubber arm cover, everything else is pretty easy.

 

[Kiva]

I did the " fix " ( remove the armor from the rubber arm, pull it off like a sock, basically glue the crack back together and coat the ratchet on the outer of the arm with super glue ect ) and it did work temporally allowing the use of all the ratchets. But now, i can maybe have it in the 2 ratchet joints slightly more than straight armed as they just bounce back due to the thick rubber if i try to have them in a 45' bend. Beautiful looking figure, the arms are stupid. They had years of making iron men so they had no excuse.

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Hmmmm. Mine go 90° and stay, wonder why yours dont.

I'm tempted to just leave it as is. On YouTube it looks like this defect was extremely common.

 

[RIDDICK]

I'm spending too much time on this figure...
But anyway, just a little something I noticed:

 

[WellCQCaboutthat]

Is that renders of the tops of the leg bolts?

 

[RIDDICK]

Legs, biceps and shoulders.
HT only got the shoulder ones close, tho they still look like a meshup between original and final.

Does anyone know if the joints problem was fixed on the inferno version? I honestly can't decide whether I should pick up the inferno version or the normal version. The normal version is the one that's iconic to the game, but the inferno version has a much more notable presence and comes with the muramasa sword.

No idea on the joints.

But, why not both?

Can?t justify spending for 2 figures that are basically the same apart from the colour. Granted their combined cost is around 380 usd, it?s still quite a lot.

Otherwise just get the Exclusive version if you can. The original is still the best one imo
