Loosecollector

Just know I'm not like loose collector is trash. I think they have some nice product and I just wish they executed more consistently. And they have made strides. Definitely do a hot water bath first thing.

Oh I’m an ooooold hand at this. I’ve got a heat gun et al.

Yes, just keep in mind if it's sticking it's probably stuck solid. Heat is your friend. I definitely used heat for the hands, and I'm glad I did.

My Chronicles Scare-Glow’s elbow was stuck solid - I heated it up and had to disassemble and reassemble the whole thing.
 
These are all pinless. I don't collect He-Man so I don't know if that will affect your abilities to disassemble. You probably won't have to, in my experience LooseCollector stuff is broke or working fine. I have not heard of middle ground. Their tolerances are the issue. The biggest issue I've heard with these figure is the hand is very loose, I believe the left hand. I've seen that on multiple forums.

I'm also very bias. I've has such bad luck with them, that the issues with Bigfoot wouldn't normally bother me, but they just reinforce the negatives I've experience. It's a 7/10 toy when it should have been a 9/10 or even 10/10, and that's what continues to sour me on LooseCollector. At 35-40 for shipping and taxes for a Marvel Legends, whatever. But for a figure that was 125 shipped and taxed,not whatever. 90 dollars? Fine. 125? No, I want better.
 
Got my Sasquatch about an hour ago. Already @NORM ed it. Yeah, the head can't snap into place but it fits on just fine and now I finally have a great Sasquatch.. I will likely put a wash on his hair, but I have more yard work to finish that is more pressing. Seeing the box made me take a break, though.
 
I like most of the figures LC does, but they are overpriced. I only got the ones I did full price so I didn't miss them, because i really like the characters. The other ones that I'm just "meh" on, even though i like them, I'll wait for a sale. I think I've been lucky, I only had a Sonja break on me, at the chest joint. I was able to fix it (the barbell is all that broke) with a donated piece off a useless body. But having her break was such a letdown, after what I paid. At the time, BBTS sent me a replacement and told me to keep the broken one, so I fixed it and now I have 2, but I'd imagine they can't do that for all of them, especially the Bigfoot guys because of price and size and such. They look so nice but after reading about the joint issues and knowing how LC is with their QC, I'll probably skip them. Maybe someone else will make some. Or they'll go on sale and I'll have to find a way to fix them if they break. But I'm not dropping $100 just for it to snap out of package. My Gold Hildr did that from the combatants line and I was absolutely dissolutioned the rest of the day.

It might just be my copy, but watch where the thigh cut rubs against the rubber diaper, the way the diaper is glued down means it can't always move out of the way of the thigh cut, and it can cause some rub. My thigh cut has a slightly sharp edge on both sides and it can wear away at it. It looks like paint rub at first.

It could just be mine and the way to was take out of the mold, so grain of salt.
 
As terrible as the joints are on the Werewolf I got, Sasquatch is smooth. No issues at all. I'm really happy with him.

I did mod the Toybiz head a bit more. The back side slid in nicely, but there was no plastic for the front to grab. Used the old Daken/Wolverines belt since it was concaved in design and glued a half-circle of it to the front. Now the head stays on with rotation. Even happier with it now.
 
Gotta admit, I'm loving Sasquatch. A lot. He's a great figure.

After a day or two with this guy and coming to terms with my disappointments and nit picks, I decided to take Big Foot down and really tests his articulation. I had to file down the areas causing paint rub and damage on the diaper with a tiny emery board, but that seems to have worked. Overall it moves amazingly, and can hit some great poses, though you really do notice the absence of butterfly joints. It has a great articulation scheme, though I do find the ball joints foe the hands limited, and more of a swivel.

I feel most people will enjoy their purchase of this figure, but i also think it is a case of buyer beware.
