    Default Headrobots Hothead

    I got mine today.

    And it kinda broke.

    EDIT: It looks like the long rectangular tab on mine got stuck in the hole and broke off.

    I know people repeatedly state that the reason that they continue to buy third-party products is because they offer something that Hasbro doesn't...

    But it's clearly not true - Hasbro's been offering us bad quality control for years!

    (Good luck with Robotkingdom, FFN.)

    RK has been very good with me in regards to bad QC items. Give them a message with a photo attachment and see if they fix you up. I am yet to receive mine but I will post my verdict once i receive it but as Sky Shadow says, I am more forgiving of bad QC as I have gotten used to fixing Hasbro toys out of the package

    The instructions are not great due to lack of space. They say to "push down" the head onto the neck joint, which is what caused this to break in the first place.


    I am impressed by the sculpting. It seems Headrobots remembered to round off corners in CAD, something that Fansproject sometimes forget to do.

    How is Not-Duros' face? In the pics it seems a little weird looking but that could be lighting.

    Tiny. Can make out goggles, mouth and chin strap, though.


    RK said they would send me a new head with another order. Problem is, I don't want anything.

    That's weird, when they replaced my Not-Frenzy, they just sent the item without requesting another order from me.

    Well, you could do 1 of 2 things:

    1. Exert yourself and demand it be sent now.
    2. Find another NSW member who is ordering from RK.

    Might have to do the second one.

    RK basically said they could take a head out of the packaging, but asked me if I was going to order anything, as they could put the head in a new order. To me that feels like they're trying to pressure me into ordering stuff so I can get the replacement part.

    Methinks RK will take their time sending a replacement if I just ask them to send me the part.
