    Unfortunately, I have to report that the electronics on my figure dont appear to work. A quick search online showed that this was an issue that some people who bought the original release had. I've already contacted Chosen Prime to see how they can help me out. I definitely don't want to go through the hassle of returning it. This is a feature I'd rarely use, but for the money I paid, I wanna know that I still have it available to me.

    mine didn't work originally as well. switch to different batteries and smack the remote around. mine started working. then transporting him during a move, he fell over in my car with a hard brake, head popped off hanging by wires. plates all flew off. he stopped working. changed batteries and smacked the remote around and he started working again. Try pulling plates off and opening his chest after you turn it on and press the power button on the remote in multiple locations of the figure. the remote is weak shit. mine has a 6 inch useable range.

    Thanks, now I got it to work, but I have to put the remote right in front of the ab grill for it to work. But anyway, success! This guy is amazing!

    Snagged one before he dries up everywhere like the original. Very excited! Now I'm off to sell half my collection, lol.

    Curious if anyone else who has this figure can tell me if there is a special way i need to attach the antennas on his head. Mine just kinda rest on the groves with out any friction or magnets holding them in place, a gentle tap and they will pretty much fall right off...
