King Hsss has reversed shoulders

[kup]

Somebody did a tutorial and by the looks of it, it's much harder than I imagined.

This isn't a factory error as such but a molding error (Mattel). The R & L stamps are on the wrong shoulders so the factory guy was actually doing his job properly. The problem now comes that despite the shoulders being reversed, the pegs for Left and Right are different so one would need to modify the pegs in order to swap the shoulders around.

The error here is fundamental and it would need you to 'kitbash like' alter the joints of the figure in order to 'correct' it.

Looks daunting.. while i could probably do it i might just see if it bothers me much in person first.

yeah, not sure if this will bother me or not, but I didn't get King hiss the first go round so who knows?

With the pictures it doesn't seem that hard at all! Just tender loving care needs to be taken with it ^_^

I always found it hard to pry apart glued pieces. The boiling of parts like sliding out the armor is also a bit of a factor.

Seriously?! Again?!!

Mattel and Digital River are on a roll this month! This is garbage!

Apparently, there is an easier shoulder fix that does not require any sanding. I think this is one of the very small benefits of waiting 4 weeks for delivery because once the figure finally does get here there will already be plenty of tutorials for fixes

This video is extremely helpful when it comes to fixing Hisss' reversed shoulders:

I am not sure if it's necessary to cut the armor as he did as the other pictorial tutorial shows that you can slip the armor out if you heat it up. On the other hand, he has shown us that it's not at all necessary to mod the figure in any way as you can indeed remove the shoulder from the joints. This allowes you to reverse them without having to open up the torso and sand off pieces to swap sides.
