Uh ohhh! Was just the 1, Jack from FC tried to pull one apart and couldn’t do it. Leg looks snapped off rather than “fall apart” but that’s a different story |

Just got mine in the mail and opened it up. I was really hyped on this when it was announced years ago but it’s trash. There’s barely any mobility in both ab crunch parts and the head doesn’t move at all. Side note: I was posing its arms around and as I slowly moved the pointing arm up in the air, it appeared that the seam for the torso was starting to split open. Looks like I’m putting it on the shelf and not touching it again.

Looks like I’m putting it on the shelf and not touching it again. I ordered two. First figure opened and the leg broke off. I'm so disappointed and pissed off. I barely moved the leg and it just fell apart. I emailed Asylum. Took a chance and opened the 2nd figure. Legs are wobbly but I honestly didn't want to risk moving the leg and having it break. Put it back in the box. Epic would have been better off not making this figure. |

Another one 💀💀💀 Exact same break point for mine. Epic needs to own this disaster. That happened to me with 4 of McFarlane’s new BtAS Batman figure. My first one had no issue. But when I opened my second one that I purchased to sit on the Batcycle his hip stem snapped just like that when I went to move the leg outwards. Then the first replacement Target sent me the same thing happened when I went to do the same movement. So Target shipped me a third one and that one broke in the same spot removing it from the blister. I then got another replacement and sure enough the same result. lol Then when Target sent me another replacement instead of trying to move the leg outward first instead I moved it forward and backwards first. Then I heated the joint with a hair dryer for a couple minutes and then moved the leg outward and it didn’t snap. lol |

If I get the courage to look at the 2nd Sabu again then I might try that to avoid the leg snapping. The torso is such mess that I can't even take it apart to try Frankenstein'ing the figure. |

Sucks the legs are breaking on some, they were factory tested to high heaven. So far there’s like 3/4 I’ve seen out of like 1,500 made. FWIW Epic only funded the figure, all designs and everything were made by the Chella owner. Epic just had to pay for it (in more ways than one) Side note, the figure wasn’t in production for 2 years. Literally no production had taken place until way into 2023 |

I would be surprised if it's just 3 or 4 that have had the issue. How is epic going to fix the issue? |

Was 100% pulled in every direction possible repeatedly and it never had this issue, I’ve only seen 4 (I went and counted) have a leg off. , not saying there don’t be more but that’s what I’ve seen. If you speak to whoever you bought the figure from, they will sort you a replacement |

Got mine today. Yeah, the legs, but don't try turning the head, either. It's loose and wobbly and ain't gonna turn left or right I assure you. 2. Years. It might not have been in production that long, but that's how long since the money for it was taken.

Proto wise that figure looked awesome. Why does the head look like it’s made out of wax and a knockoff figure? I’m glad I didn’t preorder this thing, but otherwise it had potential.

My Sabu figure is on the way. These pictures of snapped legs have got me nervous!

I’ve got the Dynamite figure myself and bar being a little janky it’s not too bad, that Sabu looks absolutely awful, plastic quality looks wank and the shine is unreal
