The hell is going on with the EXO ACROS!!!

THE HELL!!!!!
I just got my set of EXO-Acros
I knew of the hip problem with the emperor and that was no big deal as I was going to hang him on his display stand and leave him there regardless.
BUT !!! I Carefully take out the OCTO Guy and both legs fall off the is a crack that Runs down the length of the hip socket man am I upset at this so the super glue comes out and I try three applications and nothing every time I put the ball back in the socket the plastic separates so I do a quick in failed test and put glue in the socket it's self and put the ball in and rotate till dry
it keep the leg on be not well (enough to stand like a gimp) now as I take the rest out I notice a line in the pain on the emperor's hip and it not a crack it a line in the paint/plastic (almost like a fold in the plastic in the molding process ) and low and behold what happens I'm very carefully putting the EA on the the stand and the hip pop out and I go to put it back on and CRACK right at the fold (ba$t*rdS!!!!!) so I'm left with 88.00 dollars down the hole and two figures that really cant stand anymore.

if takara doesn't get their SH*T together this is going to be a sad day in micro collecting

I'm tired id shelling out hard earned money for broken CRAP !!!
huff huff huff
araaaaargh!!!!!!
Ok much better now
this line is one of the most inventive with the dual head and multi-armor combos but the problem in the main body are enough to make you scream and the micro gods
OK rant's over
thanks for letting me vent

I'm surpised this has gone past Takara's Quality Assorance control.
But my guess is that happened during the Tomy take over and coudln't control things in the usual way.

These would maybe be worth buying if there were transparent Material Force bodies available to put the heads on, because I hate the opaque bodies anyway. If its any consolation, I had to take the super glue to my transparent yellow Pallisade's Membros today following a litle game of dominos in the glass case. The elbow no longer moves.

Actually things were breaking before the Tomy takeover - in the 2nd wave of figures (scorl, Alan, etc) all the ones with black knees or ankles had breakage issues. Then, more recently the acro-phantom's leg had severe leg splinterage issues.

[Kidchuckle]

was it this line of Acro's ?
cause theres a few microman figs that I would like to pick up after I get all the magna series
*** this one was of them*** but if they're defective.. I may skip it.

[heavyarmscustom]

it's this set
the guy hanging and the red and white guy are broken but still displayable(sp)
I'll have the micro sisters fill out the case hopefully
the only broken ones befor this have been the Groundmaster alan-knee and ankle, and acro phantom- mid thigh,though he fell from a shelf

ahh yeah I herd there were problems with that line. does that series combine?
sweet display case by the way!

[heavyarmscustom]

Well here's a picture on all the micro men I have from the new line I'm missing some of the action line and most exclusives but as far as the micro man lines go I have all of them
and they all are under plastic 1/8th care display cases except the one with the EXO-acros that is a 1/25th semi truck display case
you Can find the smaller 1/25th cases at wall mart I made it a point to get the bigger one for my collection until I get the glass display case I've always wanted.

[Kidchuckle]

pretty sweet collection. I'm just starting to get into micro man again.
I have a few of the 99 stuff. But the magnaforce pulled me back in.
I'm hoping in the new year they'll have some kick ass stuff to announce.

[johnnyhaggis]

By the way kid, Scorl, the guy you pictured, does have breakage issues in the ankle and knee, but I think they rereleased those figures with better joints. The joints that break are opaque black, but the rereleases are transluscent black.

[Kidchuckle]

good to know.. next time I go huntiong for one.. I'll be sure to ask!
