Wtf? My nick rubber krang is randomly in pieces!

Threat · 10-18-2012, 04:35 AM

Ok, I have ONLY had him on display within the android body since I got him. He has not been played with or even touched. He's not in direct sunlight either. Today I saw one of his limbs on the ground, and when I took a closer look I saw two other limbs were detached with many cracks in the elbows of the rest of his arms. WTF? Has this happened to anyone else? This figure didn't even last the rest of the year, I demand my money back for this POS item then!

If this has already been an issue brought up I apologize for not searching, I am just really upset and jumped straight in here. It wasn't like he was on the ground and maybe something got to him. He was still in his upright position. I took him out of the android body to to inspect and take the pic.

I you want real pics I can break out my camera, but I figured the cell phone would suffice for now. You can't see the cracks in the rubber elbows though.

Wow, this blows!

Well, it hasn't happened to me... YET... i am very unimpressed with the quality of the kraang (both the brain and the android body), so not at all surprised. Sucks though.

At first I wanted to build a small army of Kraang but I decided not to buy more than 1 after how crappy it is.

None of my Kraang's arms have fallen off, but when I took him out of the android body I started to see cracks on the elbows, so after I put him back in the robot, I never took him out again. That really stinks about what happened to yours though, you should try to return it if you have the receipt and box

Same thing happened to me, but I noticed it within just 1 or 2 days... If you take him out multiple times, the worse it gets... I eneded up the hacking off all of his limbs, he fits better in the android and depicts the toon better anyways, considering when they are in the bodies they are in a state of immobility and it looks like they are just sleeping... But I agree the quality just isn't there and they shouldn't just fall apart like that, there is no way they will hold up to some 5 year old constantly playing with them...

The brain is just cheap rubber. I'm not surprised it's already breaking down.

I hate this type of thing! I have considered buying one of these 'Kraangs' but not now. I'll be content with the classic Android body Krang!

On another note: has anyone taken the small Krang from the Android Body figure and placed it in the new robot body? I wonder how that would look.

Man I hate to hear that, I have not removed any of my stuff from the cards but looking at mine they look as if they could fall off at anytime!

*Powder* · 10-19-2012, 09:13 PM

Dude that sucks, sorry to hear that... I haven't touched my Kraang figure since I put it on the shelf with my other displayed figures, and he's all the way in back too. For all I know he may be damaged too. I'm afraid to look. Playmates oughtta give some refunds or some sh*t.

raphfan84 · 10-19-2012, 09:36 PM

I agree 100% Powder hopefully this will not become a common problem with all!!

I would take pictures and email Paula Billingsly at Playmates and explain to her what happened, she will make it right for you.

*Oculus Orbus* · 10-20-2012, 05:59 PM

That sucks. It looks like Playmates didn't even try it this time around aside of the 4 turtles. I haven't had the chance to get the figures yet, but I keep reading bad reviews everywhere.

*go_ninja84* · 10-20-2012, 06:56 PM

i did not take mine out of package, and i probably wont just for this reason i seen some reviews on youtube for the Kraang figure and that seems to be the main problem with it
