There seems to be a common consensus in many forums that those figure samples bought early from the over sea market are probably factory rejects.  Most often folks can't tell the difference.  Regardless what one's thoughts are, I think there's hope that those figures making it to the mass market might not have the issue with the poorly fitting door.

yes that is quite possible ,altho all the figs i have got from Tunghori so far have been the same as the production figures,but one thing to note that will not change is the fact that the sensorscope and hilt ,take some fiddling to get to stand upright and even then do tend to fall sideways in the end ,this is due to the head design ,

oh and the pics that were requested :



with the sensorscope pushed in to cover the hole (center leg MUST be extended and head CANNOT be turned)

Numpty.....is that like another word for "village idiot"?  If not, I may unilaterally declare it to be so for purposes of my fiction.  Numpty.  I like it.

Thanks for the additional pics, Wraithnine.  Those are the angles I wanted to see.  Looks like the lack of wheels on the middle leg throws of the look a bit; but then again these are nice closeups of a 3.75" scaled figure.  In person, it may be a non-issue.  Is that your take on it?

Not sure how big of a deal it is to you, but I think the old hot/cold water trick might straighten the little compartment door out.

actually the rake and trail of the legs is not much of an issue for me(the center leg has an ankle joint so it can be adjusted)  .as for the door  ,its not the door thats the problem its the armature behind it,being slightly too thick at one end, that is the problem

I like how British english has a lot more words to describe things. I think American english is getting too dumbed down.

Interesting.  I've been looking at pictures posted by various folks on the rebelscum forums.  Most of them picture this door as completely closed.  Seen here:
