Of course, it seemed like a very polite "tough shit"... with a side of "we can't really do anything about a fix for your figures." Maybe they can make some new feet to pack in with set C... that'd be cool.

I haven't read anything that confirmed a new Giant head with set C yet... but I hope so. Sure, all it would take is some shaving of plastic off the back of the head by the ball joint, but this set is really pricey. I'm not sure I'm very comfortable with that. I can take out a screw to detach the crane... that's about as far as I'm comfortable with.

Still, the feet and head, to me, are nitpicks. They don't bother me much. I'm loving this set. I can see why they'd be bigger deals to TJ, since he does that awesome photography of his toys with awesome poses.

Just put together a better fix for Crane. Video in a few.

And Reign, thanks for understanding that the photo thing gives a bit of a different perspective. I really appreciate that.

Kinda disappointed at their answers to the QC issues but it's understandable. We've been spoiled by TFC and FP.

It isn't even a QC issue though. It's just a design nitpick, like Warbot's lack of heels. Something like hinges breaking or ratchets grinding the wrong way would be more serious and the kind of thing they're probably going to be more actively fixing.

Just opened mine and snapped the hinge on Dump Truck even after being pretty careful. Oh well, at least it doesn't affect anything. Just bugs me knowing that it's broken. They look awesome, have great posability so far as I can tell and the ratchets are solid as well. Can't wait to fiddle with them a bit more tomorrow.

So you don't have to unscrew anything?

You do have to unscrew it, but apparently the way it's designed lets it sit solidly on his arm without a screw anyway.

Oooooookay. I get it now. Kinda hard to follow when you don't own the figures.
