- Glad I helped fix another collecters figure as hot toys no longer has the replacement parts as its a discontinued figure.
In an older video here
• Robocop Repair Hot toy...
I show how the shiulder and arm assembly can be accessed to replace the part.
Awesome repair job. This figure is fetching big $$$ on the secondary market. It sucks that Hot Toys are so hell bent on design but have slack quality control.
Cheers yes everything retro has sky rocketed lately. Guess hot toys should take note, that not all collecters love marvel and star wars.
It is a potential issue with this figure and have seen at least 3 with this problem, so who knows how many are out there broken or glued static?
Dont think its due to mishandling but as you say bad design.
Are you still selling these mate?
Hi, I was just wondering are your sockets still available? Please
This is great work
Mine is still fine and I bought it when it was released. Even if it breaks I'll just 3d print the sockets since there are durable resin plastic now available. There are even rubber like resin I can print if the rubber joint covers fail.
Good that theres options for you but hot toys are no help if you need help finding a replacement part.
Ive helped a few people repair their figures but shouldnt be a need. Bad design and brittle plastic holding a heavy weight eventually is going to fail.
@@sparkstron73 Agreed, we shouldn't actually be fixing these toys in the first place. Was gonna buy the ed209 but the rubbers parts again was an issue. I've stopped collecting 1/6 figures with faux leathers and rubbers since all my figures that had them started rotting.
@@sparkstron73 You should also look into resin printing as I've used it a lot to fix or restore some toys and even replace or make new accessories.
Are you still selling these?
You've done a really good job casting the joints brother ! Mine also has a loose right arm joint so definitely a QC issue !! Mines going to be spending the rest of his natural with both arms resting on ED209's right gun appendage so shouldn't be a problem going forward 😁 ironically the one sitting in the chair has great shoulder joints but the rubbers have all split 😂😭 have you ever tried to disassemble the arms and legs ?
Thanks, no not had the need to yet, but am sure it will be an issue sooner or later.
Havnt even tried taking the legs off the body as they seem firmly attached and dont want to risk breaking the pegs.
@@sparkstron73 there easy to remove but I think Hot Toys have used rivets on the joints ? That's why I was asking your good self your the only other person I can think of that has the ability to reverse engineer such a figure 😁😎
@@gweilojohn8550 Flattery will not make me risk it lol.
@@sparkstron73 lol gotta luv ya brother 🤣
Are you still making these and ship to the US?
I can do, always make spare.
