I was looking forward to this figure getting here but after hearing about more QC issues now it saddens me. I agree with most I was a huge 3A figure buyer and over the past two years I have hardly got anything or the stuff I did get get I sold off quickly after trying to pose it. I thought they retooled all the bodies so we would not have this issue any more?

Still needs the stand as the slightest nudge or wobble sends him over, but that's the nature of a very top heavy figure!

Couldn't find any nail polish so used rubber bands on the hips also, actually worked very well so I added some to Yaro and for the first time since he arrived, he can also stand without needing to lean on a wall!

Happy with the results. Not happy at needing to do it.

Now, if I could just find a way to pose that stupid fore arm armour, and get his hands to stay on for more than two seconds without dropping off, we'd be getting somewhere.....

Hope this post helps others with floppy issues

really wish Ash was around here to see this shit...................
w/o being here to see this how can he be even aware of how far threeA has fallen QC wise? if he was here to see this i doubt he would be cool with it or at least hope not.

well done Darth but you so shouldnt of had to do this.

by Darthgothikus Sat Jun 06, 2015 12:16 am

Yeah.... and I'm going to have to repaint his head/hair.... just not "boney" enough for this old fart.

My last two 1/6th humanoids were sub-standard QC wise. Since then I picked up the GID strigol (because he can crawl in the dirt like a bust thing) but basically I can't accept paying 100s of $ for broken unfinished toys (with the option to send them back at my own expense). Looking at my recent purchases its bots and things like zombie heads etc. Faulty humans? Going to take something like D.A.G. to tempt me back there.

This forum is so quiet compared to the old one I'm guess a lot of the old crew have reached the same sort of conclusion.

Have we found out if the dark (shadow?) version is a chase or not?

by Grish Sat Jun 06, 2015 2:07 am

It's a chase. Saw on Facebook and Instagram that Fink landed himself a chase black figure out off an 7bones heavy slicer order.

by Darthgothikus Sat Jun 06, 2015 2:09 am

NOt seen that! Any pics on here?

by Grish Sat Jun 06, 2015 2:10 am

None on here yet. I'll let fink post it.

by Oneluckyboy Sat Jun 06, 2015 4:11 am

I've seen two of the dark death mask pop up on facebook.

Seriously though, this sucks. What a bunch of shit.

wont get my two until monday sadly, DHL sucks... wont leave my package in the yard...

by J&J Sat Jun 06, 2015 12:56 pm

Both my slicers came to Southern California today. Both can't stand due to the floppy waists and legs. They literally look like they both want to limbo. Really sad. They look awesome but have to lean them up against something just to make them stand up. Had to also break the paint between the thumb and index finger to hold the sword. Sigh...

by Grish Sat Jun 06, 2015 12:59 pm

i hope they are not using DHL for any Canadian orders I. The future. They suck I hate them.

Hey JJ, I highly recommend my "Rubberband Jockstrap" costs next to nothing, takes 5 minutes & the figures can stand and pose (a bit!)

I was on the verge of chucking him accross the room, now he's stood with his gang on the shelf!

A couple of bands round the hips, another couple round the torso, really work them up into the joints.... Sorted.

Not an excuse for 3A QC, but a solution.

by Cthulhu Sat Jun 06, 2015 1:48 pm

dont understand why DHL all of a sudden... sure does complicate something thats typically been so simple. FedEX or USPS has been the norm for years... le sigh, ketchup/mustard...

by J&J Sat Jun 06, 2015 2:14 pm

Thanks Garth will try tomorrow morning when the kids are looking at me playing with my toys. Frustrating. But need to give these boys some action poses

by 7bones Sat Jun 06, 2015 2:52 pm

NOoooo!! I thought we were going to get the retooled body for this guy. Mine is coming soon, so freaking nervous Sad

( I have to say that I prefer his paint app than the past bones whose skin look like they come from another planet.

by pezbanana Sat Jun 06, 2015 4:45 pm

Yes! ^
I'm loving the darker skin on both 7b and death mask. It also seems to have a nice semi-glossy sheen to it, judging by photos (I passed on these TK sadly).

Thinking on grabbing archer. I for one like his excessive pouches, weird bow, and overall feel. Lots of red is nice too.

Damn, i`m not into TK but the Deathmask looks like an instant grail figure...want so badly!

.Such epic figures, fucked up by a crappy quality.....again.... Rolling Eyes

...Floppygate sucks!

by nixon_3AA Sat Jun 06, 2015 11:39 pm

another shot.

by chiowhon Sun Jun 07, 2015 12:09 am

Anyone manage to get shadow death mask can take some photos for us to appreciate.thanks

by LordPiper Sun Jun 07, 2015 12:39 am

Just opened my deathmask and I can't express enough how disappointed I am with the shit floppy body 3a used for this figure. Honestly this is unacceptable bullshit. They need to do right and send everyone a new solid body ASAP.

Way to fuck up an otherwise awesome designed tk 3a
