BE CAREFUL buying the Mattel Hammond Collection Giganotosaurus!

Its common with the first wave being sent out Andy. Im sure Mattel has noticed and told the factories to check up on quality control with the second batch coming soon to stores.

I don’t understand how they can possibly say that these are “premium collectors items” when their quality control is SO GOD AWFUL. Every time I’ve bought a Hammond Collection figure there has been SOMETHING wrong with it! I don’t know if it’s just bad luck, but it’s ridiculous at this point. My Carnotaurus has weak joints which I don’t know how to fix. It looks exhausted because its tail and head are droopy. My Rex refuses to stand up right because of it’s horribly designed leg joints, and my medium sized figs (Concavonator, Bary, Metri, Irritator, Cerato, Corytho) all have similar issues with their legs and necks.

I’ll wait for in store, if it ever does show up in store around here

I hope when they do get back in stock at target that they do fix this issue because I think the best suggestion is to wait a little while, thanks Andy for the heads up

I got mine in the mail today, I guess I was lucky cause it’s perfectly fine, arms and eyes are good, joints feel fine and it looks incredible, I hope others are able to get a proper figure.

This is probably why they're taking so long to restock these figures. QC issues these varying and baffling are- well, baffling.

This is also why they should expand the windows on the box, so we can see the full figure for any defects.

I'm going to think about it well. Thanks Andy!

That’s interesting, I got mine online and it has no issues.

Well.. good thing I’m near a Target so i can do my own “quality control”.

As the owner of the Giga with a hole in this video, I feel like I got lucky with everything that could’ve gone wrong

Thanks for letting us know about the qc issues that the Giga might have.

It's always worth to wait until the second batch, specially since HC is in constant change and evolution. They're always changing the process and figuring stuff out, things like this are bound to happen

Thank god for john hammond, really lucky that the hammond collection giganotosaurus that i bought doesnt have any of these problems.

Mine seems okay, but I will check it again once I get home. Thanks for the heads up.

Thank you for the advice I was gonna wait to buy it online!

This means I will have to wait for the 2nd batch, thanks!

I found one at my local target and I came with at least 3 QC issues. 1. The jaw has a pretty tough time staying closed, there’s some molding gunk on the front of the head which is the least problematic and lastly there’s a crack in the middle of the thigh.

Have been playing around with mine for the last couple days but so far no issues. Joints are good and no issues on the sculpt so I got lucky 😅

It would actually be cool to "fix" the missing eye problem with a custom either scar or cut paint job with blood or something. Idk, just an idea if your figure is missing the eye.
