Production Error in Marvel Legends Apocalypse Series
by Crazy, filed in Comics, Toys on Mar.05, 2006
For those who are avid collectors of the Marvel Legends line of action figures from Toy Biz, it should be known that there was a production error in the early batches released to stores. The error pertains to the Maestro figure (future version of the Hulk). Maestro comes with one of Apocalypse’s arms, however in the early batches he is missing the tube connecting the back of his arm to his lower back. So when purchasing Maestro make sure you see the tube coiled up in the packaging before taking it to the register.
If you already have one of these Maestro figures missing the tube, you can either return it and get the correct one or you can call Toy Biz Customer Service at 1-800-728-2018. I was told it would take 4-6 weeks to arrive, but it came in 2 weeks.
The Toy Biz site itself has a note on this here.
It has been brought to our attention that the bonus piece that comes with Maestro Hulk is missing. The missing piece is a tube that connects Apocalypse’s left arm to his torso. If you have recently purchased a Maestro Hulk and are missing this tube, please contact our Customer Service department at 1-800-728-2018 for replacement. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Cheers to Toy Biz for addressing the matter in such an accommodating way.
