Mego Knee Repair Video

[B-Lister]

Like I said before...they paid for a certain amount of bodies. They're not just gonna throw those out and make fresh ones, we're stuck with the bad knees until they exhaust their supply of them.

The fixed knees happen then, and only then. We have to pay for it whether we like it or not. It's the cost of doing business. Mego's not gonna eat that cost, and while it's kinda shady, I'm actually on their side with this one. They didn't make bad knees on purpose, but it happened. They're fixing the issue, it just takes time.

I agree but Doc Mego expected this to be fixed with the Big Lots Exclusives. He expected that these figures will be the new, retooled body and was surprised that they weren't.

I sincerely hope the knee issue will be corrected for Wave 18.....and with NO new issues. We went from the side-kick body with loose joints to the current one with the knee issue.

Things don't always go as planned.

I believe they fixed the problem. I believe fixed knees will be happening soon. But we'll see it as a "running change" as they exhaust the supply of the old, and then just phase in the new. What that means is...you're gonna get a run of figures with the old knees, and other shipments will have the new knees. There will be a scramble to get the new ones, and the old ones will be left on shelves or returned when the buyers find the new ones.

Happened with MOTU origins when they fixed the knees on the female figures.

I’m hoping when the Andorian Ambassador and Talosian are released in February the knee problem is fixed, I already preordered them.

I hate to tell you, but those two aren’t going to be released in Feb. They’ve been postponed and aren’t going to production at this time.
I suppose the good part is if they ever do get made, the knee may be fixed by then.
