I think instead of getting the original chappie by 3z i may have to see what deal i can work up with the statue. Too bad i couldnt flex pay it through sideshow.

Thanks Gordon and Skullboy for the pics and info.
Looks like the extra long wait was worth it so far. I hope so anyways since I bought both exclusive and retail versions of this. A much better outcome compared to 3zeros last recent releases. After this, it's back to omg what did they do to his face scenarios. I.e. Pinkman release
Enjoy what we have for now [emoji51]

It's highly detailed. I believe they used the actual 3D scans from the film. So it's even more accurate than the figures.

Hey all.
Just got home and had some time to take some quick pics. Just for info. Only the exclusive ver is out. Retailer version is still pending.
Just a quick note before I get back to messing with Chappie.
It is nice to take home a small box once in a while. These 1/6 figure boxes of late have been getting bigger and bigger.
As you can see whilst I unbox, this time threezero used tracing paper to protect the box instead of sealed plastic. Is this the same for everyone?
Also this is very IMPORTANT. Be very careful when taking the figure out. I noticed a tiny piece of plastic stuck between the clamshell and I thought **** I have to return the figure because of damages.
Then I tried to piece the thing and found that it was a piece from his forearm that was not glued on properly. I took a picture for your viewing. Thought it was something that snapped during packaging.
Any how's just make sure both stubs are on both arms.

Hmm well I've been playing with the figure for a while now.
First things first. I'll be taking the figure back to replace. Why?
The toes which are articulated as shown in the instruction manual snapped on mine so I need to get those replaced. Just be very careful. They are fragile and stiff.
In fact a lot of the joints for this figure are stiff and takes some time to get them to articulate as intended.
I found Chappies left arm to be less stiff than his right arm. Any how's just becareful.
Even though I'm going to get the issue fix, I really like this figure a lot. Def. a winner in my book. Only slight niggle are the led lights could have been brighter and some of the signs/logos/graffiti could be sharper and refined. It seems for my figure, some of the washes smudged some of the text or painted with a dark wash over them.
Nothing to cry over about. Plenty of articulation and fun with this figure. A top notch figure overall.
I hope everyone likes their figure too.

Seems like those microns of added thickness from the paint stiffening up the joints - paint-lock... I'm a bit sorry I missed the direct order on this one, but I'm still really looking forward to the retail version whenever that's in stock in the US.

This is the exclusive one.
Are you sure they have snapped? One of my toes just needed the ball joint putting back in after I got a little excited. I have moved them all around as I wanted to see what they would do. Yes some parts are a little stiff, though with a bit of moving mine have now freed up.
It is a great figure I agree. I like it better than my Hot Toys.

I just got my arrival order for this as well. Hopefully will have time this weekend to go pick it up.
Have been waiting for ages in anticipation.

Both exclusive and retail ver have enough differences in design to warrant getting both in this case for me.
Whilst I get the exclusive fix which could take months, hopefully I can enjoy the retail ver too with no issues.
Look forward to your opinions soon.
Yep snapped. Ball joints?
My individual toes are articulated through a pin mechanism. It looks to me though it snapped the plastic grip/hole during movement.
Would like to see a close up shot of yours if u have him nearby. Then again it's pretty tiny in there. Lol.
Chappie director Neill Blomkamp just got his, he seems to like it too https://www.instagram.com/p/BDmSEohKhKY/?taken-by=neillblomkamp

Uh!!
I noticed a few ppl on threezeros Facebook page with the same issues I had.
Broken toes and also the extra stubs fallen inside the clam shell.
Just something for you guys to be aware of.
