I need to vent!

He sent it in a padded bag right??
Assuming it was in a box did the plane drive over the box before they loaded it on?? I feel mad for you

He was indeed boxed and fairly well packaged, it just so happened that the side of the box that his feet were facing had been caved in during transit...

This particular figure is well known for its abysmally designed ankle assembly; relying purely on a pair of CLEAR PLASTIC upper piston shafts, the walls of said cylindrical shafts only 1.6mm thick, to support the entirety of the figure which just happens to weigh 2 bloody kilos!
(Probably a contributing reason as to why the company, ReSaurus, is LONG out of business: Pathetic engineering decisions)

just super glue it and patch it with a little putty.

Cheers for hte suggestion Yuki, my father & I are thinking of a slightly more Metallic & Heavy Duty solution however - I'll post an update when it happens.

Damn man, Interesteing about REsaurus though, they used to do Sonic the Hedgehog action figures back in the day. REALLY BAD Sonic action figures. I emailed them once to see if I could order some figures from them, IIRC they had an online shop. 3 chunky 6 inch plastic figures, and they quoted me for postage something like 80-90 US bucks.

PASS.

They were pretty crappy figures too...

Yes.. I have one...

@ Hursticon...I know that feeling of not being meant to have something! a little while back I purchased some transformers off a top bloke in the US. the one bot I was excited about getting the most (mint bluestreak - perfect in every way) got his roof flattened despite being wrapped in bubble wrap because some doosh decided to use the box as a step (shoe print on box) and bluestreak just happened to be on the end of the box that got stepped on

Might I recommend some aluminium rod with the ends sanded to round/whatever the internal shape is that it slots into.

Wow, just Wow.

Yep, clearly whilst they somehow manage to obtain some top licenses - What they promised & what they delivered were 2 VERY different things huh?

Aww dude! - I imagine you would've been ropeable, wanting to track down the guy who stood on it & putting your fist through his head!
(...or is that just me? )

That's actually not all too far away from what I had in mind dude.

Be thankful for school as long as you can before you have to grow up and be an adult. Sometimes I wish to be at school rather than working because it ain't much fun either. Except for the money
