Bought myself a 12" Sideshow Quasimodo at a convention.
Now normally, I'm pretty patient when it comes to getting the figures out of the packaging (yes, I like my figures roaming free), but this time I swear, steam was coming out of my ears.
Not only was every limb tightly secured with those awful wires (as if two aren't enough), and his neck, and his torso, but the guy who twisted them gave them a kind of "reverse extra twist". So I had to twist one way, then reverse, then reverse again!!!
Then they added two fabric threads around his feet, and another plastic band around his legs (with extra tape around it).
I know that factory employees need to make a living, but if I ever meet the guy who calls the shots and invented this technique, I'm going to use every piece of wire I have and get medieval on him!
