Probably one of the biggest factor on the finger fragility : Did they _really_ have to pin the individual finger hinges?? This really made the fragility going _waay_ up the charts 🤦‍♂️😮‍💨

@MechaZeeReviews Жыл бұрын

The new fingers seem to hold up well so far but they should have originally been like that. I’m fairly certain the one that broke at the end was one I got mixed up and accidentally put back on.

@Shota_Aizawa180 Жыл бұрын

Also they took a few years to make and test the toy if I’m not mistaken so there shouldn’t be any breakage problems in the first place

@MunkyDrag0n Жыл бұрын

Pinning each hinge isn't inherently wrong. What's wrong is the pins are too big. Not enough material is left on either side to provide structural integrity. Too much strain. The new fingers aren't made differently. The transit causing figure to get jostled likely breaks pre attached fingers but people can and have broken all replacement fingers just as easily.

@alfianfahmi5430 Жыл бұрын

@@MunkyDrag0n I guess they should take a look at how MMC made their own approach on poseable fingers 🤷‍♂️ Pinning is very risky for structurally delicate parts like fingers, and they should've just resorted to slotted hinges.

News on the shoulder ratchets: it is in 2 parts: A ring and a gear. The ring is very thin and brittle despite needing to flex greatly around the gear. Some rings have 6 teeth instead of 4 making them way too tight and prone to breaking. The gear has a screw and a semi circle socket keeping it stable but it can slip into the shoulder. This causes it to turn freely, defeating entire purpose of the ratchet. In extreme cases the screw can cause the socket itself to split. Both this and the ring breakage effectively total the shoulder, because friction is not enough to support the arm with how heavy the diecast is and the company cannot replace any shoulder parts at this time.

They have zero plans to fix the issues. Consumers are reporting more breakages than they can replace the parts. Some are having a hard time getting new fingers. But hey, it's your money, your choice. If you want to reward bad design and bad qc then get this figure.

I’d be significantly less annoyed by the issues this figure has if it wasn’t at the price point that it occupies. Very few opportunities taken to add some part/detail separations and the opportunities they do take to add some color they end up being super sloppy painted details. Crumbing hands out of the box, and questionable tolerancing on and parts that connect to to eachother. This figure should be sold at half the price for what you get. Way better options if you’re looking to throw away $140. I will say though it does have presence and I’d still probably grab this over the siege version with all of the upgrades

The pins are too large for the fingers. They leave too little material on either side. The plastic itself is probably abs, the more hard and brittle kind. Can be strong but not suitable for their finger design
