Again Mattel will only ask for a copy of the receipt if you say you paid more than the MSRP. Say you purchased a regular Elite figure from RSC that was $30 and it broke out of the box. They will only send you a voucher for the MSRP of $19.99 unless you fax them a receipt showing that it was $10 more than their MSRP.

Oh Look. Yet another ball joint reported broken. Guess those are starting to crap out on us too somehow. He dropped the figure. This isn't an out of the box issue, its user error.

I'm still trying to figure out how my E16 Zekes ball joint broke. Must've already had a small crack in the plastic when I opened it or something.

These figures are toys first and foremost. They are supposed to pass a drop test when they are safety tested. In that regard, if it actually fell only three feet then the man has a point. I had two more fused hips today, making three total. All recent releases. I never had that happen on a ball-jointed figure until now and I only had maybe five with fused hips prior to this in five years time. Yes, these toys are getting cheaper. Yes this is normal with pretty much every toy line ever. I wouldn't say he doesn't have a point though. Never heard of a drop test, is this really a thing? It is. I only know about it because of a Transformer that only came out in Asian markets called Brave Maximus that couldn't pass the drop test. It had impact points that shattered. Fifteen years or so ago Brave Maximum used to be the record for the biggest transformer. It has been supplanted by Metroplex from a few years ago.

I was curious to see how big it was and if it was bigger than Omega Supreme, and I find this.... A child under the effects of marijuana drugs.

I've had a few different WWE Mattel figures fall off of shelves and be fine- and I'm talking a six foot drop here- and yet one day my Primo figure fell and shattered his crotch piece. Now, since I've found Kevin Owens' figure it seems like Sami Zayn has suffered nearly every fate a figure can except being run over by a car and he's not broken. So the breaking/dropping process seems to be so random.

Do you guys have trouble with elite legs sticking? I have had more of this than I care to bother with! In fact, I have stopped buying most elites and am waiting and hoping for some form of basic iteration of superstars it legends due to this issue!
So far: Legends 1 Steamboat (finally broke off at wompy leg) Same with Elite 40 Rude, legends Rude, Cowboy Orton, Doink, and Honkeytonk Man. By the time my honkey broke I contacted Mattel and they asked me a series of questions. He checked his system and said they didn't have HTM in stock (made me assume that they had some stock that they could send from?). They can and will send you a voucher. I bought htm at wal mart for $17.97 plus tax so, he just sent me a $20.00 voucher!
Also, be ready to have some cashier not know what to do with a voucher at certain stores...K Mart had the entire staff trying to ring it up my replacement that I chose with my voucher, lol! My new Rick Rude elite 40 is about to break at the leg, I've dealt with it too much to know its coming. So, I will be calling Mattel as soon as it snaps!

It was blue and red and neon green and never saw stateside release. It was probably available in 2000-2003 range. I can't remember for sure. A local shop used to have the Korean Sonokong version. Quality is purportedly a little lower in the Sonokong editions. Most Takara/Sonokong editions did see reissue in the states but this one did not.

Exact same thing happened to me, except the leg snapped off when I tried to pull him out of packaging. I just super glued it with him standing up and rested him on my display shelf. I wanted to keep him with Bobby anyway. I may look into getting a voucher. I bought the set on sale, if I would have paid $50 plus tax I would have been much more upset.

I know what I know and don't know what I don't. Sorry. I've always kind of hovered around Transformers but never seriously took the plunge. You are probably right.
