Just got mine. Was pretty excited until I discovered, in this order:
1. Alternate arms were not locked into the accessory bubble, visibly loose in the lower right viewing hole (low-key concern)
2. Smudged paint on the outer right leg heart (medium concern)
3. MISSING CRYING HEAD (top-tier concern)
Mattel will be hearing from me, in the morning.

Can you actually send him on a zipline ride with the fishing line? Or it just works in that it holds it up? Yeah he can ride on whatever line you set it up on, you just need to push it to give it some momentum or set it up on a slope to carry him down. The internals are round so the string slides through pretty smoothly. It might have worked better if they included some grooved wheels for it to spin through, but it works perfectly fine as it is That's so cool. Thanks -- I could never tell from any photos or posts if it actually worked! |

I had some loose hands, paint smears, and a thigh that wasn't properly attached with the one I opened, Im almost scared to open the other one. Emailed Mattel but haven't heard anything back yet |

Two of the heads have a slightly darker skin tone and a bit of paint issues on the tights. This is getting out of control. |

Whelp, talked to "Klyde," this morning. He offered to send me a replacement, but I have to send back the defective one, first. I'd much rather send back the defective one AFTER I receive the replacement, but, from a business standpoint, I understand. He gave me a shipping label to send the defective one back. I wish I would've kept the box it was shipped in.

Guess I'll have to open and check them all when I get off work, wasn't intending to do that but need to make sure my HBKS aren't busted lol. I'm excited nonetheless.  |

First one I opened was near perfect save for a few blops of black ink on his knee pad that is easily fixed. Scared to open the others 😂  |

Mine had a little black paint mark on the leg and the right knee peg wasn't all the way in lol. Looks fine with the gear on, at least these are easy fixes. Really awesome otherwise

Love this figure.  That's awesome. What did you use for the line? Cool WWF stickers, too. |
