yeahh... HT IMBD more like of a bad paintjob rather than battle damage effect ... really disappointing..

HT should hire Stark Industries to do the paintjob... sure cun...haha

oh that hongkie custom the battle scars on his new battle damage, thats why got gauntlet like the new wan

The other "bangs"/"fringe"/hair style/"moustache on the head"..

i think his custom BD too over d...lol

paintjob problem instead of "battle damage"
sad... but true

so can we take back the money we give to XL??? i mean the preorder money? for IM BD that is..

under circumstances like these, i guess you can request for a refund...

but you should try calling XL HQ, just to confirm...

you can do that?
asking for refund from the preorder money.. just because of the IMBD head sculpt issue?

the refund was suggested by the hot toys themselves .. but im sure when the IMBD was open for preorder, when everything wasnt entirely confirm; i mean, the pix and sources were just not final.. or probably havent released yet.. most ppl already placed their preorders..

i mean, regardless about any issues .. ppl preordered because of the item itself; ironman battle damage.. we dont even know yet how the final product will look like..

so for the benefit of a doubt, asking refund from XL is a bit over react ... unless, XL can do the same from their suppliers .. if you cancel, but XL cant cancel.. poor XL later on ..

hot toys should retract all their imbd releases, and reproduce another.. or at least make a separate part; like the sarah connor above; and attach together wit imbd box ..

Well regardless of the issue with the headsculpt on the IMBD, yes you can get a refund from XL.

For those thinking of getting a refund, you don't have to worry about XL, cause when a friend of mine was just asking whether can refund, they gladly say yes, because the waiting list behind that didn't pre-order the IMBD is very very long.

Anyone would gladly snap up those who wanna cancel their order.

As for me i am still getting mine, cause besides the headsculpt, the upgraded wrist gauntlet on right arm, ejective shoulder micro munitions, retractable countermeasure dispenser and new hot rod red paint still makes it a worthy buy.

Im not saying everyone should ask for refund... I was just replying to bro Naskie, because as I remembered, one guy did ask to cancel his PO when the batmobile was delayed for almost a year in the XL forum... although I'm not sure wether he got his deposit back or not, that's why need to confirm first with XL first

but i dont think people would start asking for refund though... because IMDB does have some new interesting features...

Yes, you can get back your pre-order deposit under any circumstances
(no money/hate the product/etc etc).

But XL will forfeit 10% of your deposit fees. Maybe this charges can be waived if you talk to them nicely.

Anyway, I still waiting for Ironman BD to arrive XL. Cant wait to pickup mine.

yeahh... i think the headscuplt issue on imbd was too exagerrated .. hot toys always monitor their product qualities... the issue wasnt about the quality, but more to the preferences from collectors around the world.. they like it this way, others like it that way... so it's subjective.. and the added features sure make imbd worth to get ..

Kojun sculpt is a main draw... ebay of his sculpt (released by HT) can go to more than USD 40.. sometimes to USD70++ that's 25 to 40% BDIM Mk3's price

yeah in fact actually quite a lot did cancel their orders from what i heard. not only here in m'sia, especially hk and us.

a failure from hot toys side.. they will lose alot because of the cancellation

can say its a major blow to their international and local market.

And it really make me come to think in a collector's point of view about whether i should pre-order or just wait for new toys from them to arrive at local stores.

Seeing that nothing is certain since licensing is really anybody's guess.

I'll probably stop after Leonidas and T-800 which i pre-ordered, then see how it goes from there.
Good thing also easy for my wallet hehe

avatar + clash of the titans these are the ones im looking for.. but till now.. nothing..

Titans... just adapt Marcus Wright's sculpt with wolvie's body

Most people cancel BD because they wanna get Ironman II, headsculpt just a lame excuse.
