Gosh! I actually like the look of those.

[boss]

I really like these except for the patterning on the suits. It doesn't scale well.

I don't like Superman appearing angry

perhaps supes wont be so angry looking now hes got wonder woman around lol .
these all look great looking forward to seeing them all posed together ,didnt hold out much hope for wonder woman looking too good but wow they did pull it off by the looks of this

got mine in this week supes broken in the tray :thud::gah:,to be fair it could have been due to rough handling by customs inspection ,£31 duty :gah:,batman has missing accessories, just emailed hobby link japan and sent pictures


gutted to have paid so much for them to arrives so ****ed up

[libby 1957dog]

did some digging and heres what i think the problem was ,
along with the poor plastic that it seems they used






this is the hip section with the hip joints ,removed from the rubbery trunk covering
as you can hopefully see the attachement point where it broke is very flimsy
and i suspect that when the assembled part was glued into the trunk section the glue ran and stuck the front hip joint and froze it ,this would be the figures left leg .which would account for all the reported leg breaks ive seen being the one on the left ,same as mine

well at least i have a idea now how to repair it if hlj don't play nice :lol
hell i might just do it for the hell of it ,they are super nice figures and i wont get my customs fee returned and replacements would probably be as bad and id have to pay another £31 customs charge ,so a partial refund and fix it up would probably be the best solution for me anyway

[libby 1957dog]

okay after being offer 25%refund ,deductible against future orders :thud:
ive fixed supes as best i can .got a doner bar bell from a mattel man of steel mm figure
cut off the extra ball

fitted the hips ball sockets on each end

detached the ball joint from the leg and fitted the trunk section in place

and reattached the leg to the ball section

so far so good :lol then got the original hip and waist section and cut out the middle with the broken part

then fitted it back in place over the new hip joint



then glued it in place and replaced the upper body he now stands and has reasonable range of movement ,


for anyone wondering heres the mafex head on the mattel figure


pretty good in my opinion

[libby 1957dog]

repaired supes with basic mattel wonder woman just repainted the gold so far ,might try porting parts over to a better articulated body ,not sure lol

stood up straight and with icons flash ,match well size wise to my eye

[libby 1957dog]

still loving these figures,in spite of their qc problems ,picked up a mattel batmobile ,im not a car guys so im not totally sure but i think it scales slightly small for the mafex figures but sort of passes off ok ,this one has been modded with lights and the guns removed ,its a typical mattel squashed down compacted version ,but for the money could maybe work with a bit more work done to it
