i got my replacement because the foot fell off the first one.
they said they would inspect the new one before shipping.
got the new one....opened it, picked it up, foot falls off. awesome!!!
and crooked ass chevron to boot. (pun intended)
whatever. i only have so much fight in me.....you win SS. you win.
EDIT: i called SS just to see if there were any options. i was told they are getting inundated with complaints. they are saying that they discovered it was done like that intentionally to allow for more movement. this doesn't make any sense to me, being that every single sixth scale figure i have moves fine and the feet don't fall off. I'm not sure what the intention was, but thats their story.

There is a notch cut out of where both ankles plug into the boot; maybe they hoped that would increase the side to side movement?

yes. that is what i was told. however, i don't understand this. never had a need for it before, why now? and if thats the reason and rationale, then why wasn't it tested before they mass produced all the figures with feet that fall off if you move them? just poor design and i feel bad for the reps that have to take all these calls, they have nothing to do with these decisions that SSC makes. yet, they feel the most wrath from unhappy customers.

Welp, I was on the wait list for the exclusive, and I just got word it was fulfilled. I HOPE that I get a good one, and not one of the returns that some of you guys sent back. LOL

Yup, both are notched. So they aren't really broken ankles, just some are notched more than others.
So they are designed to fall off right out of the box LOL. This video although not on Jason really shows the decline in Sideshows quality.

Well it's true that if a foot falls off every time you look at it funny then that means there's more movement involved. Some collectors just like to complain.

Hot Toys elevated the game to high end collectibles. Sideshow elevated it to higher priced toys.
I have an inquiry out to one local caster, but I'm open to suggestions and contact info for casters anybody might know are very skilled and known for clean casting work. I really want to make copies of this.

With updated silentsurfer hock as well?
WOW! If that sculpt goes up for sale, I may actually risk buying this figure from SSC.

Nice set up. I would like to get a miniature Coleman tent and make a diorama of Jason stalking campers. Maybe make a silhouette of campers inside the tent with either cutouts or extra figures and put a small light source in there. Then Jason looking down at the tent deciding if it is a machete day or an axe kind of day.
