That seller sent me a Faker with 2 right feet. Was at a time when Faker was commanding a hefty price. I managed to get a partial refund, which was okay... but paypal kept insisting I send the toy back for a full refund (registered w/ tracking... at my expense). The seller is known as a dumpster diver on some other toy websites... you only get what he finds in the bin.

Do you have a link to that website?Originally Posted by d*r*j*
This is beginning to explain things as some of the 'fading' on the figures is consistent with sun damage.

No links sorry... was a while ago, and I just generally go off memory. I know he has definately been talked about at He-man.org.

Also, he lied about 5 times that he sent the replacement foot. Along with made up tracking info. Very dishonest. Got negative feedback from me.

He claims that he has sent me replacement figures. I will have to wait and see but I will open a dispute before the time to do so expires just in case.
Unfortunately his feedback is overwhelmingly positive so it's hard to tell that he is dishonest unless you deal with him.
It also seems that negative feedback is not a deterrent for him as he 'abandons' an ebay user name and then takes a new one for a clean slate as he has done recently, he probably jumps ship when he has encountered the possibility of having to give a refund to someone.
I am hoping that I do receive the replacement parts as although the other figures are bad, I can restore them but Faker with the wrong wrist is very difficult to fix and he has sun damage in his upper arms.

I've seen him list 'unpainted' samples and some other quite nice things. I guess if you get them cheap then it's all good, most of the stuff comes incomplete, without packaging and, quite often, accessories. If you look at his other sales it's obvious something is shady.

Anybody have a 200X Kobra Khan that they wish to sell? It's fine if loose and without the gun.

This morning I excitedly went to the Post Office hoping for my Battle Cat and the Cyber Monday figures and was disappointed when the post lady brought out this tiny box...
At first I wasn't sure what it was as I wasn't expecting anything else and then I read 'Hong Kong' on the box and it hit me - It's the replacements from the Chinese seller that sold me the faulty MOTUC toys! I was surprised at this because I had given the toys up as fraud and was planning to submit a dispute but the seller was actually true to his word.
The Faker body is actually pretty good, some defects but they are more in line with 'Matty QC'. The Beastman head looks good and Evil-Lyn is a bit dirty but doesn't look worn nor does it have weird paint splotches. The only 'not so good' is She-Ra once again but I think I can mix and match parts with the other body for something decent.
Now that leaves me with a Faker, Evil-Lyn and She-Ra bodies as spares. I am not sure what I can do with these as I don't know if anyone would want them.
I also I wasn't expecting to get a replacement for Faker so I ordered one from a guy at He-Man.org so I may sell that one since I already have a pretty decent loose one.
I hope the Cyber Monday stuff arrives tomorrow before the Christmas break.

Hey Kup, can you post a full body pic of the Defective She-Ra you got? If the paint damage is in my opinion negligible maybe we could work something out?
....Shame you don't have a spare Teela. The extra heads are so good I need two bodies to display them.
