    BBP Rudy Wells arrives (photos)

    Rudy arrived today. I was pleased with him until I noticed he had two right legs. :( I wonder how hard it is to get a replacement.

    Thanks for posting the photos. I've been trying to decide if I want one of these. Which head are you going to keep on the figure?

      Decent sculpts, but the heads are way too big.

        I'm starting to see this as an continuing issue with new figures.
        It's not a doll it's an action figure.

          I like the Martin E Brooks head the best, but I'll probably rotate them from time to time. The heads are not that easy to switch. I had to use boiling water to soften the neck plugs up.

              Nice looking exclusive, two right legs aside for a moment , but man...the head size really has me on the fence with Doctor Who and SMM now (I'm passing on BSG because of this issue). I don't know what BBP's supposed to do about the problem at this point. Fix the problem moving forward so later figures have normal sized heads and previous ones have larger heads? Or should they all just get giant melons? I really REALLY hope the next wave of Twilight Zone and especially Venture Bros. don't arrive with this problem!

              Thanks for the pics, Jason73! Question - was there a plastic tray holding the figure in the 'metal tote' ala the Dr Jonas & Rusty Venture lunchbox set last year, or was Rudy just rolling around in that plastic bag inside? Similarly, if anyone can answer this question about the Kanmit metal tote as well?

                The figure was wrapped in plastic and the plastic was wrapped in cardboard. There was no tray included.

                    I still like him, but I need to get a replacement body or refund from BBP. Does anyone know the best way to go about this? I can't believe he has two right legs. I didn't even notice while I was switching out the heads.

                          The heads are a little too big, but not completely out of scale like Apollo.

                          However, that is the first time I've seen a Mego Richie Cunningham head that close-up. That has to be the WORST sculpt Mego ever did. SHEESH!!!

                            I'd kill to have two right legs.
                            My right one is the best I have...

                            I could add that the head's too big, but it's starting to wear me out...

                              Just an idea Jas, but why don't you by some medical scrubs from CTVT and some Doc Mego Bodies. and display all 3? I'm sure switching heads around alot will be bad on the neck plugs. Also when you put the one next to Richie, he looks like arnold LOL
