What would you do with this Human Torch?

[timb]

Yeah I think I'm going to put it up for resale, I couldn't bear the thought of taking it in to the post office (via an insurance claim) and them heartlessly discarding a mego.

[Mr Mego]

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!!

Yeah, I'd rather open it to fix the leg, re-sealed it then sell it back to the seller and get your extra money back.

I just bought a C-8 French-carded Human Torch off eBay for $40 shipped, with both legs broken.

I'm just going to carefully remove, and fix.

if a seller shipped me a item like that i would be upset

[MegoMark71]

being a virgo it would drive me nuts knowing it was broken. So i would carefully remove it and fix it. Then sell it to megomark71.

[Brue]

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

yep.

keep it in your collection until you find a nicer one. then sell it. you should at least break even

[Gorn Captain]

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

[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.

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

[The Bat]

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.

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

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

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

[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.
