    Great review! I'm glad I got one as well. However would love to see Mattel bring the Snake Men into the Masterverse lineup and Fang-Or needs to in there for sure!

      Thanks for watching! Congrats on also getting a Fangor Figure! I can see the Snakemen coming to the Masterverse maybe next year! They are focusing on the New Eternia and Revalation figures at this time! But Snakemen would be awesome, and many people want them in Masterverse 👍

      Yeah, i heard other comments say he was up for three hours or more. When I bought mine at the start. I went back for a second one, about a half hour later, and it was sold out!

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Год назад

      Thanks for stopping in to check out the review! Yeah, I had a little misfortune with breaking my arm joint. I have broken many figures' joints in the arms or legs over the years. Usually with Neca or Mcfarlane if they get stuck. This is the first time I have seen it with Origins. It broke really easy. Usually, if I discover a stuck joint, I then use a blow dryer to heat and loosen it. But this joint was too tight and brittle. I was gonna show how I repaired everything step by step. But I just figured I would describe it quickly and show how I put the arm back on.

    Mine came with a really hard knee articulation😅 but thankfully with hot water I was able to fix it. The loincloath of fangor is not a regular one, it's a recolor of Rattlor's one

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Год назад +1

      Nice pick ups! Hard are loose joints are common. Hot water helps a lot. But sometimes the joint can have a bad plastic QC issue and break with very little moment like mine did. I recieved a few other comments with other people's Figure also breaking at the elbow joint.
      Yeah the loincloth is just a Rattlor repaint. I didn't notice that at the time. The paint really makes it look like something different unless you compare Rattlor against Fangor which I did later and noticed that's all it was! Thanks for watching and I'm glad to hear your figures tight joints worked out good with hot water!👍

    Awesome review!! I also tend to have some issues with the legs of the origins figure such as Stinkor , although the legs did not break they are so loose that he doesn't stand well. There are other figures with loose joints but so far none have completely broken off.

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching as always! The loose joints aren't usually the problem where breakage occurs! It's the joints that are frozen or stiff. The best thing to do is put them in hot water or use a blow dryer and try to soften them up. Then gently try to move them. Mine Fangor arm was frozen, and I did use much force to move it. It snapped very easily. I also heard of some other people's Fangor figures arms also breaking like mine did. As far as loose joints. Just use clear nail polish in and around the joint. Work the joint back and forth and let it dry. You can clean the excess with a rubbing alcohol pad. If the joint is still loose, just apply a second and third coat after each has dried!👍

      Mattel said that all the future Vintage inspired Origins concepts and main figures are gonna only be sold at Mattel Creations going forward.

    Mine broke the exact same way. When I contacted Mattel Creations they did NOT have replacements available to ship to me.

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Год назад +1

      Wow! I'm sorry to hear that in your figure as well. I have had many broken joints in other figures over the years. But not Origins. This was a first! Someone else told me I should have contacted Mattel, of course. I didn't want to deal with the aggravation, and I had a feeling they didn't have more. So I just used a small drill bit. I drilled a hole directly in the center of the bicep and about a half of inch in. Then, about a quarter inch in the broken piece. I used a small aluminum trim nail. Cut the head off and push it in with vice grips. Then, I twisted the forarm on like I showed, and it can still come off again. I also still have all the articulation. Sometimes, drilling ruins the joint, and all you do is put the pin in and set it in one position. It's tricky. But that's how I repaired mine. Thanks for watching, and hopefully, Mattel can get another one or go on eBay. Theres plenty of fangors. But more money. Or try to repair your arm like I described. It's already broken. What do you have to lose. Just practice in something else plastic with a small bit and make sure to get a steel reinforced piece that fits tight. You can also get a thick paper clip and cut a straight piece instead of a nail. Use small wire cutters. You can get them at a hobby shop or dollar store.

  • @FandomEntanglement
    @FandomEntanglement Год назад +1

    That really sucks about the arm. I don’t have the kind of ingenuity to figure out quick fixes like you did. And that’s the thing, consumers shouldn’t have to try a DIY fix when it comes to something they purchase. I’ve also read on the Facebook forums and in some of these comments that Mattel doesn’t have any more in stock in the event of someone needing replacement parts, which to me is a bit irresponsible, especially when it comes to limited editions and made-to-order stuff. I sure hope mine doesn’t have that issue. On that note, here’s my horror story: I just received my shipment from FedEx yesterday afternoon and saw that the actual package had looked like it had been run over by a truck. Not a good sign. Sure enough, I open up the package and my mailer box doesn’t look much better. Dented and slightly crushed in a few areas; I carefully remove Fang-Or…the actual figure and mini-comic look like they’re okay, but the clamshell is also sort of bashed in on the left side and the cardback is slightly damaged and has a crease in it toward the bottom. Not terrible, but still kind of disappointing. The plastic clamshell at least can probably be pushed out and manipulated to look better than the way it does now. I guess as long as everything else works and looks good, I probably shouldn’t complain too much. Still extremely pissed off at how badly FedEx mishandled my package (I assume it was strictly a FedEx issue and not a Mattel issue). Planning on filing formal complaints with both Mattel and FedEx to see if they can offer a refund or discount, even though I’m still going to keep what they sent me (because there supposedly aren’t anymore in stock). Another reason why I always prefer to inspect and purchase something myself in-store rather than relying on a delivery service to deliver it. Can’t trust anyone these days… 😡
    Overall, I really like Fang-Or! It seems as if Mattel has taken into account that items like this need to have collector-friendly packaging, which I don’t mind paying a bit extra for. As great as the other MC exclusives were (Wun-Dar, Grizzlor, Frog Monger, etc.), the only real problem is once you open them, they’re basically “ripped” open and can’t really be salvaged. I’m also surprised that Fang-Or is using the older, more traditional “New for 23” style cardback and not the Snake Men motif on the MotU logo, especially considering he is literally one of the Snake Men! It’s details like that that trigger my OCD and make me twitch. Very odd…
    Lastly, I do know that Fang-Or was designed in a way that if he had been a vintage figure, the fangs would have extended. So, I wish Mattel could have found a way to incorporate that action feature into this version of Fang-Or; like how Tung Lashor’s tongue doesn’t extend either. That would have been a nice way to give vintage collectors something new as well. Oh well, it is what it is. Despite everything I mentioned, he’s still a great figure. I’m glad to have him and am also really looking forward to Lady Slither. Let’s hope she won’t sell out within 3 minutes! 🤞

      Yeah, my Fangor figures arm broke off really easy! I barely moved it! I know when joints are tight in my figures, I stop and heat them up with hot water orca blow dryer and then try to move them. Not this time. It's a QC issue! I also read other comments of people's Fangor arms breaking off like mine did. So use caution!! That sucks your box came damaged. I'm all too familiar with that from FedEx and Priority mail. It's part of the stress of buying everything online now! Overall, I thought Mattel did a good job with the design and fangs. I'm not sure if the vintage was gonna have an action feature! But most likely, in those days, he would have. I didn't expect Origins to make an action feature or go to complex with the design. Lady slither it coming in September I think! Fangor was easy for me to get on Mattel creations. I really hope lady slither will be as well for everyone this time!👍

I talked to a couple of other people in the comments who said their arm also broke off with very little force like mine did. I didn't hear about the weapons missing. But I wouldn't be surprised with some of this stuff being rushed out. They also said Mattel has no more figures for replacements. So they can send it back for a fefund! Fuck that!

    Yeah, I got mine and his joints were stiff to frozen. I got them moving with hot water but left elbow still pretty tight. It's not your fault. This isn't acceptable quality for a major toy maker. And most people aren't handy enough to fix it and well, shouldn't have to.

    • @Themanchlid
      @Themanchlid  Год назад +1

      Thanks for watching, sharing your comments and issues. Yeah, I barely moved my arm on Fangor, and it snapped off! Usually, if a joint is stiff on my figures, I stop and use a blow dryer. That helps most of the time or hot water, as you mentioned! I have had my fair share of broken figure joints over the years. But it's mostly Neca and older Mcfarlane stuff! So I know how to rig the repair and make it stronger. I have had some other comments from people who also had an arm break on their Fangor Figure. They contacted Mattel and said to send it back for a refund. They don't have any more Fangor figures. So I'll just fix mine. But you're right! This is a QC issue with joints being stuck because of the paint or plastic not drying correctly in the factory. We shouldn't have to fix a new figure out of the package because the joints were not tested before the figure was packaged!

      @scockery The limited quantities are definitely an issue for returns. Yeah, you basically use most Origins arms that are green. But aside from Kobra Kahn. The other colors are way off. And Fangor has King hsss arms and different bracers. So that might be a big deal to some people. It was for me! I didn't want to return it and use regular arms. So I made the reconnection I showed.

      Oh man! You're the second comment I got on a broken arm joint. I thought I just had a bad one. Yeah, I have a feeling they aren't gonna have more in stock and will just credit you back when they receive it. I just repaired mine with a small drill and piece of steel, which showed! I figured it's already broken. The worst thing I can do is damage the articulation joint more because I drilled to deep or big of a hole. You can insert a larger pin and glue it. But then the arm is fixed stuck. I got mine, so the articulation still works. I didn't feel like sending it back! There's plenty of other fangors on eBay. But they're double the cost.

      @bishopmaddox Yeah, Mattel doesn't have anyone in stock for replacements. I was told by another person on Instagram who's fangor figures arm also broke. Your figure is already broken. So what do you have to lose trying the repair! Use a cordless drill or dremel. I used a 1/ 16-inch drill bit. I drilled very slowly in the dead center of the broken peg on each arm piece. The bicep end goes in about 1/2 of inche. Drill in to the arm piece no more than a 1/4 inch. Then, get a small trim nail or big safety pin and cut a 3/4 piece off with wire cutters. Watch your eyes! Then insert it into the bicep and twist the arm on. If the arm doesn't go in all the way. Just take a little moe off the rod piece. Also, size up the metal piece you use and drill bit. You don't want the hole larger as the reinforced nail or pin will slide out. You want a tight fit! If all goes well and the arm is back on. Then, use a blow dryer on low heat for a couple of minutes on the stuck joint that broke. Now try to move it again with the arm on and that steel piece in. 👍
