Yep, this was actually confirmed by former Sideshow designer Paul Francis. They had issues on a lot of the busts, with the chrome plating and parts not being perfect - so as a solution to not lose a lot of money on the production, they came up with the battle damaged version.
When I cleaned my...
Oh bummer! Just saw the new endos from Dark Fate! :gah:
Why, oh why are they using the Genisys designs? Cameron and Miller said that they were ignoring everything after T2. Apparantly not the re-designed T-800s.
I was hoping for a lot of awesome T1-T2 looking vehicles and terminators. And was...
Yeah, I might have gotten a bad one, even though
I pre-ordered it from Entertainment Earth.
But I should be able to fix it.
ECC are cool, but way out of my price range,
so I’ll have to go with the cheaper replicas out
there, and try to make them look a bit better
with more detailed and...
The quality of the TOTS puppet is beyond crap. Crunched in body parts, badly glued seams, tears in the ears which are badly glued to the face and horns, the jawline/neck is badly trimmed and a part of the chin is missing. The eyes got dimples in them. The paintjob is ok for a toy, standard...
Thanks! Yeah, they are fantastic. Two very different movies,
with completely different tone and atmosphere. But I love
them both. :yess:
I also got a TrickOrTreat GREMLiNS puppet, that I’m
planning to repaint. But it needs a lot more prepping
and repairing than NECA’s, before it’ll be ready...
I purchased my first Brown gremlin back in 2012, and repainted
it as soon as I got it. Just couldn’t live with the factory paintjob.
Last year I pre-ordered another one, when NECA re-released them.
It took my a while to get started, but last week I finally finished the
repaint of that...
Yeah. Pre-ordered Mikey from Entertainment Earth back in May, and I've just been charged the $89.99.
Can't wait to finally have all 4 brothers. :yess:
And then, bring on The Foot NECA!
Not me. :)
In the review it's stated that the top part of the scabbards where the katana blades are exposed is inaccurate.
But that's in fact how they looked, in the first movie. So I think it would be a shame to alter them in that way.
Yeah. Maybe they rushed production a bit to be sure they had enough sets
ready for Comic Con, and thereby leaving us with a lot of bad paintjobs.
But thankfully they're aware of the problems and are going to help us out.
Just got an answer:
"We apologize for the problem with your figure, we...
Finally got my pre-ordered set delivered today.
Excellent figures!!!
Unfortunately there's a few QC-issues with the eyes on Raph and Leo.
Mike's got a smugde of glue on his nose.
Wrote NECA about it. I hope they're able to do something.
I've been charged for Leo as well, and no update on his status on the order page.
But the same thing happened with the other turtles. The shipping notification from
EE arrived the following day. So I'm guessing the same happens here. :)
