Weird, I got mine in ok condition. I think the hands should be pulled lightly with care. Why need to remove the armor, it’s just for displaying. Each Hot Toys have different accessories. I love the headsculpts, not a fan of real hair. It’s better to buy sealed rather than second hand. My opinion.
Those are normal wrist pegs. They've just come apart in the middle. Each half makes an entire peg. That's a huge QC issue to not notice before shipping these out to people. They could probably be replaced with different ones that won't come apart so easily.
I hate that design ,my other WW gas the normal vertical swivel pegs, but for some weird reason they put them on a angle ? I also hate those plug in fingers..the whole figure seems cheap!!
I completely agree with you. The shipping and customs is killing this hobby. I remember your video with the problem from Toy wonderland. I noticed Justin put out a video I believe last week saying people who've had a problem with them can contact him and he'll try and help get their money back. Those wrist pegs are odd. I hope they do away with that.Have a great weekend Kevin 😊
The wonder women figures are nice looking but not my thing. The pegs are weird and your spot on about the price hikes. I only collect 3rd party figures with the odd 2nd hand hot toy thrown in. Always been the same and as the cost of living goes up, it trickles down or up to these luxuries plus shipping and tax. Influencers like justin and thats exactly what he is despite hin not liking the tag, only highlight the positives and only throw in a few negatives to appease his critics. Unfortunately he is the biggest advertiser for companies and has made a lot of money for toys wonderland and benefited greatly from the mostly new collecters who see him having the most subscribers as the go to guy. He gets subsidised and free figures, he gets kickbacks and buys subscribers to boost his ratings and how you tube promote his vids. It is sickening what people like him budget stark and the rest of the shills have done to the hobby. It was bound to happen as the success of the companies due to people promoting sharing and purchasing in greater numbers, has led to price rises and the companies latching on to bigger franchises and getting licenses for properties they had to do illegallyin the past. That cut to the film studios adds to the cost too. Thats why I support 3rd party producers. Plus the big companies are only releasing figures from mainly star wars marvel and dc. I get its a buisness and some things have improved like paint sculpting and accessories but Hot Toys have always taken short cuts where they can and repurpose items or milk certain figure releases. Clipper King and others could not compete with other channels that were basically on the payroll of companies like sideshow and hot toys. They were good times and prices were still high in relation to peoples disposable income and what value was placed on the figures retail and custom, but in comparison to today they were a fraction of the price. You need to keep at the customs mate thats alot more interesting to see than hot toys latest offering. Not having a go show what you like but your custom stuff is excellent 👍😎
Cheers mate ,funny you mentioned customs i sent one off to Joost with him sitting in the 66 Batmobile ,he loved it !! Yeah all the bullshit that's going on is putting me off and do agree that the 3rd party stuff is ticking the boxes for me for value for dollar...I have to start putting some money aside now because i'm getting the Jazzinc 89 Batmobile ..cant wait to have that baby!! Always a pleasure brother collector ,Catch Ya!!
Wow. That wrist peg design is terrible. Talk about why you shouldn't "fix something that ain't broken". Nice review as always! And rant!

When you mentioned the DX wonder woman, are you talking about the WB100 one?
Yes that is correct..
@@tessjess1you'll probably be glad you didn't get it because I have her and I'm having a few issues with the hair.

@@tessjess1The jazzinc stuff is amazing but too rich for me.
If they ever do an original Tron light cycle i'd make an exception 😎
