you spend aboout an hour or more setting up you're mattel collection perfectly to wake up to see one has fell and caused a domino effect? I never really had this problem with my Classic collection.

Nope the only time that has happend was when I put a CS6 Andre in with my Legends setup and his ankle gave out. But my Mattel's have yet to fall over by themselves. I ended up having to put some super glue in Andre's ankles after it happened 4 nights in a row.

Never happened to me. But....
don't you hate when you tell someone your favorite figure you have is SES Punk and that your favorite part about your SES Punk figure is the mask, and you walk away, come back 10 minutes later and the figure is on the flow with bite marks on the head, mask missing, and bites on the toeso?

That's never happened to me either. Although I did have one of our cats chew through the Mattel TRU WM rings ropes when it (the ring) was sitting on our computer table. So now I have figures around the ring as a boarder so he won't jump up on the table anymore.

Only figure that ever falls (or takes a leap) is my E7 John Cena. He's got loose ankles I guess. Otherwise I've never had a figure fall on my displays ever.

It's a real problem with the Elite figures. The legs are too flabby and my collection falls down...
A couple days ago, my Sheamus FlexForce -which was not supposed to fall- caused the best domino effect ever into my late ring (yes, I crashed my ring after this domino effect).

has never happened to me, but I do experience loose ankles - a bit of crazy glue and movement and they are good as new.

This happens quite often for me too with my Elites so I will surround figures to keep them standing still. What usually works for me too is when I display one leg in front of the other.

My Classic Hogan and Classic Stonecold have done that to my collection on many occasions. The few mattels I have haven't done it yet..

Well it's the only time I really get to mess with them so if they fall I don't mind setting them up again, but if they fall and SLAM into something on the way down I cringe.
I have some weak ankled figures (CENA!) that do the falling. Christian is like this also for me.
Guess I should get new ones some day.

I once had an Elite 7 Triple H that would always fall over due to an extremely loose ankle causing the Domino effect where they were displayed in the ESR. I now have them in glass cabinets on shelves so if they fall forward the glass will stop them.

Don't set up my collection too often, so I haven't really experienced this enough to "hate it," but could definitely see how this would be annoying. Those elite ankles could use to be a little thicker, or something.

Yeah it's always my Elite 3 Cody Rhodes and Elite 5 Jack Swagger who's ankles give out and they take a dive causing their entire rows to domino effect.
Some people get lucky and don't experience this, but I would say over 50% of my Elites/Legends have ankles that are so loose it is difficult for them to stand.
This is something that needs to be addressed. I don't know why they don't just use the BASIC boot molds. We don't need that gap between the foot and ankle so that the foot can slightly swivel from side-to-side...that small almost unnoticeable bit of articulation ISN'T WORTH THE FIGURE NOT BEING ABLE TO STAND!
Plus, don't you think it would save the company money not having to make a Basic AND Elite version of every boot/shoe?
Plus it pisses me off that I can't do lower leg swaps between basics and Elites anyway because the pegs are different. Those parts should be interchangeable. The torso joint and the hips and knees are the only parts that should be ELITE ONLY.

I never really had this problem with my Classic collection. 2 times now iv'e set up all my figures to show my collection on here and both times 1 guy in the back fell over and created the domino effect. after setting up over 60 figures just for them to fall over made me call it quits. im sure i'll try again some day, maybe i'll put the back row on the stands so they wont fall over. as they say, it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch. |
