Backwards arm Claw Shredder!!!

Jed · 01-12-2005, 01:44 PM

I got my Claw Shredder in the mail today (finally, lol) and the thing that happened to someone else on this forum has happened to me! His left arm was used on both sides, meaning he has two the same arms so one of them looks messed up and backwards!

Seeing as I live in Ireland and I ordered it from America is there anything I can do to get this fixed? I don't want to return it to the eBay seller cause it's not his fault. Is there any number or email address where I can contact Playmates for a replacement. He's still MOC.

That must look pretty weird...any pics?

KEEP IT! It's not often figures are THAT messed up. Could be worth something someday.

Jed · 01-12-2005, 04:17 PM

Aw but he looks really dumb and weird! I have nowhere to host pics, if anyone has webspace I'll email them a pic and they can post it. It definetly isn't like the MOC picture on the official site!

Nah, mistakes are just that...mistakes. Usually nobody wants them, and they're less valuable than the correct version. Eventually, King Moonracer comes down and takes them all to the Island of Misfit Toys.

A running change, on the other hand...

OK, now I have to ask...how can you tell if the wrong arm was used? Because I thought all along that his right arm was supposed to be human, and then realized that mine has two claw arms, too...and it looks just like your's, Jed.

I don't mean the claws, I know he's supposed to have two. But look at the way his arm bends. His elbow bends out like he's double jointed. If you compare my one to the official site's one you can see that the muscle on mine is on the outside of his arm, whereas it's supposed to be inside, nearer the torso, like the official site's one.

Yeah, if you decided to open it, you should be able to rotate the arm, and looks like it should look normal.

If you leave it MOC, someone may possibly buy it, and then you can buy a new one that is proper
