This hunk of shit. First and only Playarts purchase. The left shoulder was seized out of the box. Tried every method I could think of to get it free, heating the joint with a blowdryer, submerging it in hot water for a few minutes, sliding an x-acto knife into it to try to loosen it up, nothing. Ended up having the entire arm snap off after easing it for like 30 minutes. Turns out that the joints were all slathered in paint for the entire shoulder assembly, and the only reason the left side worked, was because when I tried moving it the first time, the paint cracked off and stayed adhered to the peg on that side, while it stayed locked on the right. Such a severe break I couldn't even fix it by pinning it too. Kept holding out hope that we'd get a Revoltech or something of Sam in the future but we never did, forever trapped with the worst toyline of the early 2010s.
It was also the first figure I ever paid for with money I earned from my first real job, so that was a great feeling too.
