What would you do with this Human Torch?

[timb]

Won this Torch on the card a few days ago, pretty good deal.

Human Torch Mego Super Heroes MOC 1979 in French - eBay (item 280381007016 end time Aug-10-09 19:41:16 PDT)

Bummer thing is that when I got it, Torch's left leg was broken (while still inside the card). This wasn't mentioned in the listing (Could have happened in transit). I suppose $35 + shipping is still a decent deal, just not crazy on the fact he has a broken leg.

I did get insurance on it, but not sure what good that does me.

Any advice Mego folk?

That sucks, I'd leave that one sealed. Still a good price

[starsky]

yeah that's happend to me quite a few times. usually the french carded torch's or things always have a broken knee which is hard to tell because of their costume. i'd rip it open!!

[scifiguy94]

At least the leg is not going to be flopping around loose in the package like on some megos. If the card and bubble are decent, which they look like they are, I'd leave it closed and resale, telling about the break of course.

If the broken leg bugs you, try reselling it and disclose the leg is broken.

On a good day you still might make a little more money then you paid for it.

[Robin NY]

if I was going to keep it I would open it carefuly and repalce the knee pin, or I would just re-sell it

[GlobalObserver]

You paid $42.00 for it, shipped.

If you simply want your money back, I bet you could easily sell it here for $50.00 shipped.

The knee pin could have broken in transport, too. I've seen folks comment about that about happening to other figures in the past.

You could set him on fire and film it for You Tube.

You could set him on fire and film it for You Tube.

This seems to be the best option. dip in gas first.

IMO...you paid a decent price for it. The broken Leg would Bug me...so I would open Him, and fix the Leg...content in the knowledge that I got a MINT Figure.

If you still wanted him Carded...I'd buy a Repro-Card from Anthony. But that's me...everybody's different.

[clemso]

Open it, glue the knee pin and then use it as a travelling Mego?

[Nostalgiabuff]

I would just leave it as is and watch for another good deal for an upgrade, at which time resell this one

[Captain]

Ive seen oodles of Torchs with that same broken leg on e-bay over the years. Makes me wonder if its not the same one getting floated around?

I would leave him in the package, unless you want to fix him.

[Gorn Captain]

I'd sell it to Gorn Captain....
