Just got the email from SSC as well...Hopefully they are a special better quality goggles.
I got mine a couple of days ago. They are not any better made and my inquiries with them back and forth have not gotten them to admit that these are poorly made, nor that Hot Toys is taking any responsibility for them or going to come up with a stronger/better goggle solution for everyone that got theirs.
I had to destroy the original broken ones which I found really hard to do but today was the deadline for sending them pictures so I finally hit them with a hammer. Even though they were broken I felt bad about intentionally damaging something further.
My replacement mask/goggles were a bit different than my first ones but only in that the mask itself was a stiffer rubber and harder to get on to her head (I also finally broke down and decided to put the mask on... fortunately this time I was able to ever so slowly rotate the goggles around and then slipped the mask down on her head and it did not break. I did not get her hair behind her ears correctly but was too afraid to take it off and try again so she has a bit of wild mane going on right now but at least she has her goggles!). The goggle arms and rotation pins are the same super cheap plastic as the ones that came with the original package so you have to be ridiculously careful with them.
