an update on the roboto shoulder issue from toyguru...if ya'll care.

He-Fans,

So I did see all the posts on the "Roboto issue" reversed shoulders. Sorry to start an all new thread, but I figure it is easiest to get an answer this way without wandering through tons of posts.

I discussed the shoulders today with Bill Benecke our lead designer on MOTUC. It is an interesting case because we never actually received early PR samples for Roboto (unlike most figures, for some reason our product request for samples on this one was never fulfilled by our vendor, this does happen sometimes and is a bit annoying on all fronts).

The "sample" we sent to Pixel Dan for a video review was an early package sample I "borrowed" from Bill (Bill I owe you one Roboto!). It was that or nothing, and I know how much you all love the video reviews! This is why no other sites received Roboto samples. We just didn't have them. Arg.

The loose samples we have at Mattel both have the correct and incorrect shoulders. Hopefully the vendor did follow our instructions months back to correct the shoulder in the final run. We honestly don't know if the sample sent to Dan was final or not.

If the shoulders were incorrect on the full run, of course we'll look into fixing this if we get around to a second release. But for this first release, the production is complete and we won't be able to make changes now.

We'll all know more in a few days once product starts shipping. Until then, good journey!

Scott
