EMCE Toys new bodies in development - the end of the rubber bands

[thunderbolt]

made in the USA would cost double or triple or more, that's why. If you can even find a plastics molding company here. Type S is still for sale at the 8 inch super store that appears to be down for maintenance right now.

...Type S body.

I found that on Kickstarter, it’s 5 years old now? What happened with the Type S body and why would they do that in China if that’s where the problem started by having their molds stolen?

They don’t watch Shark Tank? Build them in Detroit. You would get immediate life-long customers I’d think.

Yep...I purchased them too, they all had plastic flakes in arms and legs. I had to remove the flakes and re-string them all...but now they look great and have the articulation of a Type S body.

What did you use to restring them and where do you get it? I'm always looking to do things better.

That was the 5 for $20 pack of bodies with flashing that one guy said all needed to be restrung?

Yep all of them I used tape on my figures waist to see if it worked and it did but they need to be re-strung

These five pack figures were not the best thing Doc put out but they are his..

Yes I’m the least experienced person here so forgive me for asking, but Doc made a poor product?
I do now recall not liking his hollow Trek boots.
Who made the DC heroes that had the serious loose body issues? I returned a complete set to ToysRUs. Was that Emce Doc?

That was Mattel.

Whew. All crap. Glad that wasn’t Doc!

I got a 5 pack of those they are not the best..I know that's heresy but they have flakes on them and they are poorly put together...I can send a pic...I was disappointed...

Flakes plastic flashing left on the arms and legs from the molds and it has to be restrung or I used masking tape (To see if it worked)around the waist and hips to straight the body out...I have a pic of the body..

I'm surprised NO one else that ordered these for $20 didn't come across with the same problem...

I did. Ordered two sets. Every body had to be restrung.

[cdhall]

The bodies are not final - the male body shown is the teen body, not the adult male. These bodies are being made for a license we are working on,
which is why I preferred to keep them under wraps. Of course we couldn't just revamp the female and teen body and not also re-do the adult male.

So did these bodies never come out as either figures or bodies for customizing?

It seemed like too good of a deal; almost like a dump off, so I avoided them.
