    Pretty great, it looks like they had some shoulder problems with the sample?

    Ha, Strung too tight, and sucked up the arm?

      Wow, that is major bad PR going on there for the line. Bad first impression.
      Cool to see but looks like they were knocking it.

        Mego's make Network TV and suffer quality issues that turn into a bit. Ouch. Whoever provided the sample should be shot though. Cool to see nonetheless.

          Better hope the saying, "any publicity is good publicity" rings true here.

            that was the same production sample they show in the pictures on the website isn't it? I had heard the body was a standard fat body with padding in the shirt to give the obese Hurley look

              Ouch, the sucked in arm is bad publicity for sure

                proof that other bodies have major issues, too. For some reason it always seems to be the same arm, too.

                  The rubber band-strung bodies are too tight. Even the T2 originals have had this problem. That's why I always restring everything in the old-fashioned T1 style.

                    I liked how Jorge Garcia was so interested in the figure. Too bad about the arm.

                      alternately hilarious and sad.

                      I don't think it will be bad pr tho. Everyone will want the Hurley to see the retracting arm feature.

                        Any publicity is good publicity. Too bad Jimmy didn't mention that Hurley was a prototype. But we thank ABC for getting this item (and our entire product line) in front of a huge audience, and on sale via abc.com.

                          The squishy belly looked kind of fun.
