@@Toybinger Just bought one online new in box, never opened. Both shoulder joints and waist are broken. The details are amazing though so I'll find a way to fix it. Was a bit relieved to find out a lot are like this.
I have just found this video…!!! I’m happy to say I’m the proud owner of this figure. It was my centre piece of all my matrix collection, but sadly fell off the display shelf and has never been the same, the design was never good as most of the parts never aligned, was too top heavy and really soft connections….i might take this video on board one day and finally fix it right… great video..👍🏻
I have one sealed in box that I bought myself for Christmas, got it for 180 total. However I did open the box so I could display him with all my other mechs. Mine too was in four pieces, the joints are very weak. I bet the pieces that broke were the same as mine. The top shoulders and the torso below the top heavy piece. I believe mine broke from the ties being so tight and probably all the shifting of moving the box around for 20 years. I had him fixed at a local comic book shop where the owner knows how to restore/fix vintage toys.
It is not because of the time, I bought one when the film was released (I was a kid), the arm came broken so I return it to the store, they requested a new one to the supplier and it came broken exactly with the same arm so the shopkeeped told me that he would refund me the money and do not sell that item anymore
Bro, i couldn't agree more, the APUs in the Animatrix we're badass but wished that McFarlane or another company actually made the Animatrix APU. Now that would have been cool to have
Beautiful figure, but yeah, both arms broke off while on display. Cheap-ass plastic wasn’t designed to hold the weight of the arms. If you own one, be prepared for some major repairs over time.
por cosas como estas nunca me gustaria crecer esto esta fantástico a pesar de ser.un juguete seria genial que fuera a control remoto y en verdad pidiera moverse como en la televicion seria genial..
@@DerMovie1984 I bought one but the pelvis was separated and the two arms also.Did anyone else got one like this, MacFarlane toys company fucking sucks at making toys
I recently purchased this figure and unfortunately it was broken at the waist joint in the box. I was wondering how you were able to fix/modify the waist on yours and how did you separate the pieces? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Looks like DerMovie uses a Lego piece to create a post or shaft. I wish he show us what the upper top part of the receiving end of the connector looks like.
@@aliasangelaliasFirst thing I tried was putting in a pin and trying to force the two halves together, hoping to maintain the swivel. But I couldn't get it to work and feared damaging it more, so just glued it. Mine actually arrived with both the arms off and the torso detached out of the box lol.
@@illuminoacey So what did you ended up doing? I just purchased this APU yesterday at a swap meet, It is sealed in box and I haven't taken it out yet. I heard so many complain about this figure. Even taking out of the box, the toy breaks immediately. I am rather worry, and seeking knowledge of what sorts of problem I will be encountering. I wish there are tutorial on how to fix this entire figure online just in case mine suffer the same issue.
This is one of the worst toys I've ever owned. It is nearly impossible to find one that is not broken. I have one of them in the package and it is still broken. The arms always break. The waist always breaks the hoses always come apart . These toys hit clearance at KB Toy Store for about $5 back in the day
