Its common with the first wave being sent out Andy. Im sure Mattel has noticed and told the factories to check up on quality control with the second batch coming soon to stores.
I don’t understand how they can possibly say that these are “premium collectors items” when their quality control is SO GOD AWFUL. Every time I’ve bought a Hammond Collection figure there has been SOMETHING wrong with it! I don’t know if it’s just bad luck, but it’s ridiculous at this point. My Carnotaurus has weak joints which I don’t know how to fix. It looks exhausted because its tail and head are droopy. My Rex refuses to stand up right because of it’s horribly designed leg joints, and my medium sized figs (Concavonator, Bary, Metri, Irritator, Cerato, Corytho) all have similar issues with their legs and necks.
They are not premium items, they are just cheap toys. All my HC figures are either became loose over the time, already came with problems or just started to break overall. All of them had QC issues, including paint scratching off or missing somewhere entirely. They will not stand test of time and in couple of more years the rubber parts on them will start to degrade, joints will finally give up. Also their plastic is super cheap and you can easily break their Rexy figure. I assume same with the Giga. What a complete joke
Really? That's very unfortunate! All of my HC dinosaurs have come in good conditions. Too bad there's many users having problems.
That's just you pal Hammond Collection rocks 🎉🎉🎉
My hammond collection rex doesn't have that strong of legs joints and loose joints on my para and bary(the rest are fine and I have no issues)
@@TheRealHALODOG That’s not just him, those QC issues are plaguing Mattel figures since 2018. Amber Collection suffered horribly from those and now HC line apparently goes to that territory. No way those figures will stood up the test of time like Kenner toys
Thank god for john hammond, really lucky that the hammond collection giganotosaurus that i bought doesnt have any of these problems.
This is probably why they're taking so long to restock these figures. QC issues these varying and baffling are- well, baffling.
It’s prolly because there were enough but scalpers bought them all bc there annoying as heck -_-
Yeah. Frankly while I understand the critiques, this seems more like an issue with the factories then mattels team behind JP ITSELF (yes they are different). Because the team have listened to multiple of our criticisms.
It would actually be cool to "fix" the missing eye problem with a custom either scar or cut paint job with blood or something. Idk, just an idea if your figure is missing the eye.
Yea I love how creative the idea is. If you genuinely don't mind then it's a great solution. Personally I'd rather have a giga with a missing eye instead of one with 2 right arms as I can make a new eye and paint them both. A cool blind giga like the Battle at big rock/chaos theory Allosaurus is cool!! 🦖
@@MarcoMakesOfficial I'd way rather have the missing eye, and a blind allo would be a fine addition to my collection. Also I love your rubbersaurus videos, keep up the incredible work 😁
I found one at my local target and I came with at least 3 QC issues. 1. The jaw has a pretty tough time staying closed, there’s some molding gunk on the front of the head which is the least problematic and lastly there’s a crack in the middle of the thigh.
Lucky, my giga has no eyes, it has two right arms, it doesn't wanan stand up, it's tail has holes
This is also why they should expand the windows on the box, so we can see the full figure for any defects.
Picked one up in store today in Miami, no issues at all 🎉
I just got both the Giga and Theri and they are both in perfect condition, no defects. I did not preorder, I stayed awake untill 12:30 a.m. and ordered online at Target right when it launched. I knew it would sell out before morning came. Mine are from that batch so I think the ones from the Preorders must be the ones with the defects. Originally, I did Preorder, but ended up canceling the preorders....glad I did.
It's always worth to wait until the second batch, specially since HC is in constant change and evolution. They're always changing the process and figuring stuff out, things like this are bound to happen
Yep, totally just gonna move to America so I can buy it in store and avoid this happening :/
Currently the only option to even get this thing outside America at all is $300+ on eBay. Still don’t understand why they refuse to make them available at Target anywhere but America.
I'm not sure if I should be glad I should wait until they restock the Hammond Collection Giganotosaurus figures in Target stores or not because if that's why Mattel didn't restock them yet because of people getting their own but having issues with them then....wow.
No wonder they haven't restock them yet because people receive them "early" unclean, broken, not feeling too well or incomplete.
So I hope Mattel restock and polished them really good because....there's no way they will do dinosaur toys collectors dirty. Especially when it comes to Giganotosaurus in Hammond Collection form because I really wanted that toy.
thankfully my copy doesn't have any issues and I've been taking very good care of it by barely touching it as much. I also tend to mostly buy these toys in physical stores since I've always ran into quality control issues directly from Target's website. but then again I've been complaining about Target's poor quality customer service overall since 2015.
my giga is fine i checked his body
no double left or right hand
no eye loss
no holes
no meleted glue
he is in perfect condition i was happy
This figure makes me think that the JWD Giga looks more like an Acro than a Giga
In the earlier concept arts this thing was clearly an oversized highly accurate acrocanthosaurus without any osteoderms or spikes and it makes sense because the acro is from NA but just like how JP raptors are actually deinonychus under the name of its Mongolian close relative so it makes sense that they wanted to give us an accurate acro but also naming it giga.
besides for my gigas arm being a bit stiff, a little bit of hair drier action will it up, and thank raptor Jesus, my figure was delivered in good condition
I also saw someone this morning on Instagram who's giga had two of the jw logo on both feet
Mine seems okay, but I will check it again once I get home. Thanks for the heads up.
Well i guess I'm lucky i wasn't able to pre-order Giga. I can be selective in store
Thanks for letting us know about the qc issues that the Giga might have.
I'm going to get it when it's on sale in store
Don’t plan on acquiring it until I know for sure it’s in stock at my target
So basically once they turn off the cameras in the beyond the gates episodes they neglect the figures…
Thanks for the warning mate
Well I'll make sure to keep this one's receipt if I find one
I am happy my giga isn’t defective.
Just received mine and it had one completely yellow eye and 1 regular eye wth.
Mann, on top of that this is the 1st time Ive been limited in army building figures with the Blue Raptor Hammond Collection ever since I got back into collecting 3.75 because of Star Wars Rogue One. Target online still cant let me order Blue ever since I ordered Giga on the 2nd
Specifically for me I haven’t opened the boxes just yet but two figures had yellow paint 🎨 over the glass eye. One more so than the other from Target app and one in store. One however looked perfect on its eyes. One Giga has a loose tail piece moving around inside the box.
Just got mine today and the calf joints are already failing. The figure is too heavy to stand on its own. Such a shame.
I just got back at Target in SH 6 Houston and I didn’t see the Giganotosaurus, maybe it was both the summer heat or maybe it had QC issues like you mentioned. The only option which I think best is just waiting for it being stocked at stores and Amazon.
Mine came out really good. Perfect
This isn’t exactly video related, but I’ve noticed the new danger pack dimorphodon looks a little different than the past dimorphodons, it has curled feet, and the wings are a bit more bent 🤔
I'm pretty sure it's the same sculpt from the recent Chaos Theory Ben Escape Pack! I have a review up for that set and if you check out the Dimorphodon in that set, it's a brand new sculpt and it's larger than the older Dimorphodon!
I got mine online and it was perfect, except the box outside was dented and the box inside was also dented
Just ordered her. Pray I get a good one like you did :)
I have had NO problems ever for any of them (except for Broken Jaw Baryonyx)
Damn that sucks! I got mine day one and still haven’t opened it
I really hope mine is as perfect as possible 😭😭😭😭
I understand defects happen but come on how does this even happen to this scale from what we can tell.
Lucked out on my online order but loose weight bearing joints are a problem I've noticed with this and the Rexie. This had a looser left ankle but it's holding her up. Rexie was worse but ultimately I got her standing in a pose and it's held since I got her. Should be tighter or maybe ratcheted.
I bought mine from target in store so mine should be good I haven’t opened mine yet
R u in America? Or Australia, just asking as from aus and don't think the figure has been released/shipped here yet 😢
@@SKYWARP_2.0 yep, I’m in America
Is there anyway to safely remove the glue or are you screwed if it has that
Everything with my giga is ok but the only problem i have with it is the legs, his leg joints are very lose and its not allowing me to stand him well so my only option i have hopefully is to use one of those kiki fix lose joints bottles which i dont have one
Mine had one of the glass eyes painted over. One of the forearms doesn't seem to be bending properly, i'm afraid of breaking it by forcing it to bend.
He gigas foot snapped off when i moved it so i sent it back and got a new one and the joints on that one is stiff
Now I feel lucky that I haven’t found one yet, and maybe this is why the ones haven’t arrived in my area yet, now with this information I will not be purchasing one online
Thanks! I've had a lot of QC blunders from Mattel as well.
Mine has some really tight joints mostly on the right side, it had excess plastic in a few areas, and just feels wrong like I'm lucky that it has no major flaws listed, but it just doesn't feel as good as my rex which is a dream to pose, the giga feels more clunky and heavy just something feels wrong, i just got mine today so im gonna sleep on it in case it's just all in my head
Thanks, Andy!
I mean the giga has only been out for 4 days and it is already having issues we were informed about this figure since late April and erley may wich was for me enough timemfor mattel fo funally rifine this giga but if people are having this issue i am not gonna order online I think I'm going to look for it in physical target stores.
well hopefully by the time there available in Canada the issues will be worked out... this also reminds me of the blue that collect jurassic got with the wrong lower jaw, and some dimetrodons missing an eye, something fishy is going on with this years HC figures.
I got two left feet on mine but end of the day I love the figure too much to lay hate
As someone in the UK I've gotta wait till it's on Amazon ;-;
How much does that cost
0:57 This has happened to me once, and only once before, but on a smaller scale on a Ceratosaurus with two right ankles
Yea my gallimimus has 2 left arms. I recommend you contact mattel customer service if it ever happens again. They're usually really good with that 🦖
Well not a problem because Mattel sure makes these difficult to find outside the US. Already out of stock? Jeez
Hey i have a Hammond Concavenator is the legs supposed to be able to fully move like the joint attached to the body that would move the legs back and forth. Reply if you know
Got mines lucky for me it didn’t have any problems
Have u or Marco makes emailed Mattel of these issues so they can fix them
Is your hammond collection gigantosaurus all go no qc issues
My giga has holes and the tail is weak and floppy
Just like Tamashii SHMA Monsterverse line. They are good, but you really have to pray on whoever God you believe or trust your luck if you don't on what Items you get. Others are lucky, some got minor issues, some are just downright messy.
Mine came defective the left leg is cracked
At this point, I'll just wait for Nanmu to release their articulated figures
The whole dinosaur instagram was posting this! 😅 I’m glad I didn’t preorder it!
Wish it does
Mine have no issues at all
Okay, this time the complains seem legitimate. I've read many picky complains that border ridiculous from chumps trying to sound like exquisite collectors, but this time looks like there's really some real problems.
It should be illegal for companies to not have quality control
Toy makers don’t care like they use to as most toy makes are owned by banks or insurance companies
Mattel: "Spared no expense"
🙄
I would get a heart attack if I got something like that.
I have enough bad luck
I think my Target moved the tags for Hammond Collection. Fuck Target.
Sadly kind of hard to care when all giganotosaurus figures are out of stock everywhere.
Well, *_CRAP (😞)._* OK, *UPDATE:* I just unboxed and _thoroughly_ looked over mine…it’s _GOOD (👍)._
Looks like they’re repeating mistakes from the Amber Collection.
The main reason why I don't buy any Hammond Collection : Quality Control
God, I hope Mattel makes an apology video about this and actually explain why the F in a fish this happened? And other figures too.
I’m in England, so I’m waiting till that comes out. I’ll get on that ostrich birdie one it’s cute there’s long claws as well birdie ostrich you know I think that dinosaur was on clause whatever it is I think is actually used with an ostrich and a giraffe with a herbivore and a bird mix with mix that dinosaur make that dinosaur the giga, giga Chad DNA and another dinosaur DNA for giganoTaurus
God damn this is the worse quality control I’ve ever seen I’m definitely waiting for a couple more batches to be made and for them to straighten it out
Oh 😮 I think they need to buy in a store or they 3d printer I feel bad 👎 😔
4:59
Nani the fuck.
Everyone needs to just wait until they hit shelves tbh
They’ll be gone by then lmao
@@ROB_LAW98K yeah probably because it will be a successful and it will make more money for target who probably won't put it on discount
I have a missing eye on my giga which actually sucks so now I gotta wait until it goes into stores This is the first time I’ve had a problem with him and collection. The streak ends sad
I’ll wait for in store, if it ever does show up in store around here
Yeah me too
I haven't even seen an empty hook at Target, lately, for Hammond Collection products.
That’s interesting, I got mine online and it has no issues.
Mine was loose😭
I didn’t get it online but I got it in target and it’s good and since I saw this video cuz I was scared so yeah but I guess you have good luck
I hope when they do get back in stock at target that they do fix this issue because I think the best suggestion is to wait a little while, thanks Andy for the heads up
I got it in target but it was the last one but that was my target
I got mine in the mail today, I guess I was lucky cause it’s perfectly fine, arms and eyes are good, joints feel fine and it looks incredible, I hope others are able to get a proper figure.
Probably won’t have any issue with this guy… because it’s not looking like it will be released in Europa 🙃
It's available at Smyths in Europe. I was just in one of their stores in the Netherlands and they had about 8 of them. Pricey tho because it's 80 euros, which is why I didn't pick one up.
@@jeroensaurus Oh yes you’re right ! Just checked their Swiss website and saw it ! So relieved! The price is high but the treat is real !
It’s available in Germany at least. I got mine today
In irland not avalable. Never was! Never! Never ever! And will not. Why?! Why!? Why?!
Well.. good thing I’m near a Target so i can do my own “quality control”.
As the owner of the Giga with a hole in this video, I feel like I got lucky with everything that could’ve gone wrong
I'm going to think about it well.
Thanks Andy!
Really embarrassasing from Mattel, errors like the having the wrong arm on figures shouldn't happen.
This means I will have to wait for the 2nd batch, thanks!
Have been playing around with mine for the last couple days but so far no issues. Joints are good and no issues on the sculpt so I got lucky 😅
I hope the Hammond collection doesn’t become SH monster arts with there quality
Already became them
Both my Giganotosaurus and Therizinosaurus arrived today so hopefully mine won't have these when I check
Unless they do a 2.0 version improving the articulation movements on the joints this should be good otherwise I think everyone should have the HC Giganotosaurus in their collection and I’m hoping re-release it like they did with 2.0 HC Rexy fig
I'm fine with the eye thing cause its like it got into a fight
WHERE. DO. I. GET. IT.
This is all I've experienced with hammond collection... not many showed up in my area and they all have wrong parts, very loose or broken joints and they are only getting worse as they age. Just floppy heaps on the shelf. 😢
