well done dude, I ordered one. I'm in Baltimore so it'll be a few days. Such an underrated movie. Michelle Phifer and Devito don't gets the respect they should for those roles. Both were perfect for Catwoman and Penguin. Neca is the best in the business right now. They actually care about the figures and the customer buying them.
I would try heating that one leg/hip joint with a hair dryer, and then carefully move the leg forward and back as the plastic cools. That should loosen it up. I have 15 of these 1/4 NECA figures and a couple of them have had similar problems. Heating and moving the joint works every time.
Geoff Dell Yeah I'm familiar with the blow dryer tip to heat up the joints, unfortunately this isn't the case with the left leg, I believe the gears inside the ratchet are not properly aligned. It's no big deal, things happen and I'm sure NECA will exchange it for me. The figure is fantastic!! Just a minor hiccup 😊
I've been waiting for this for so long. I've decided not to order them straight from Neca anymore because the box always shows up damaged when I do. Can't wait!
Thank you for the great review, John. The figure looks awesome. I'm going to order it now (and have to wait till April, when it arrives in Europe). Btw: As both HS look perfect to me, I wouldn't ask for a replacement because of the right leg movement. In the past, I got 2 NECA Batman figures (Arkham Origins) where one looked perfect and the other had a few paint issues.
Really dissapointed at the hair, way too different from the promo shots. Guess one can try making it curly but that may take quite some work. Thanks for the review man!
Why would Neca use the loosed hair head instead of the other since it would have look better in package display? Maybe the hair wouldn't be so funky if it was packaged in the head tray. Perhaps, Neca will learn from it and start using molded hair like Heath Ledger Joker.
Lucille Morningstar very true these take a lot of room but if they do I don't think they will do that authentic hair so hoping for a hot Toys version !
i got the same tight legjoint on the new 1:4 neca alien. i thought i would break it when i tried to move it the first time. probably it would come more loose by ratcheting it more often. apart from that this is an outstanding figure. already ordered mine. :)
Just got her in. I can't get her to stand even with the standee. Would have preferred if they made the standee out of diecast to weigh the figure down. :/
I watched this bc I just got mine last night and my Catwoman's right leg does the same exact thing! So I think it's just the way they made them. Her left leg moves super easily but her right leg is a little more difficult to move.
