I am new to Hot Toys.
Today I was very excited as I got my first Hot Toys Figure (R2-D2 Regular not Deluxe).
I got it on eBay and it was used.
Seller said it needed new batteries.
So I went to Walmart today and bought new batteries.
This is what Happened
At first nothing happened and I was very worried.
Then I got it to light up and was happy.
So I tried the sound effects next with the remote control.
Didn't work.
And even worse the lights immediately turned off when I pressed the button on the remote.
Nothing worked at this point and I became worried again.
So I took out the batteries and put them in again.
Now everything worked perfectly.
After an hour or two I tried to show somebody the sound effects but they would not work.
So I tried it with the lights off.
For some reason it worked with lights off.
I tried it with the first set of light on and it worked.
But with all lights on it worked 1 out of 10 tries maybe.
But always worked with lights off and first set of light on.
Strange but ok.
Soon after I noticed that the Lights all looked very dim.
Now it does not work at all.
So my question is
Is this Normal for this figure?
Or is the Figure Defective?
I googled and found a thread on Reddit where a few people had problems and said you just need new batteries.
They said even if lights are not on just leaving it on the "On" Position instead of the "Off" Position will Drain the Battery.
But I bought New Batteries today (Cost me $20).
I find it very very hard to believe that a few super low power LED lights can drain 5 Brand New Batteries in 1-2 Hours.
Am I wrong?
Any Help is Greatly Appreciated.
I need to know if I need to Contact the eBay Seller about Returning it.
