| 25th Anniversary Doc Figures Now Arriving With Retooled Forearms! |
| Posted on 11-06-2008 at 08:03 PM by Shin Densetsu | Social Bookmarks | RSS Feeds | For those of you waiting for your 25th anniversary Doc figures, you can now look forward to receiving a Doc with retooled arms! The infamous "Duke arms" were finally fixed(retooled to swivel at the sleeve instead of at the wrist) on the Wave 10 Tiger Force Duke, and are now being implemented in a running change to the remaining Doc figures to be sent out! This might be the reason why it has taken a while for some of us to receive our figures!

| COBRACOLLECTOR: well after sending for two Docs one on 6-3-08 & another on 6-27-08
one finaly made it home after a whole lot of drama
but im happy non the less the first one is here
the new Docs being shipped have the new Duke wrist not the suicide wrist that all dukes first had heres sum pics and good luck to evryone ur Docs should be on there way soon if your checks or money orders were cashed
 spacemonkeymafia: Damn It I knew they would do this.......Well I have the first one so the olds one should go for more..... Monkeywrench: damn. now with the new wrists I'm going to have to open him. Monkeywrench: also this should be front paged COBRACOLLECTOR: when i get my second one ill be trading it for one of the old 1st version Docs
i got a offer but if it falls through ill have that up for trade for the original one HInsider: told you this was coming a long long time ago. Snow cat: Looks great. I hope i get mine soon. They cashed my check months ago. MrClean: I never got a Doc, so I'd much rather have this version now. So if anyone has this "non-suicide" version to trade, hit me up. I have a couple things. scarfacefan14: Meh, I like the old wrists better. Hicks_Royel: Heh... nice. Maybe this means the end of the old wrists once and for all.
And they didn't fix the card art with the Double Destros. COBRACOLLECTOR: Well i made front page news lol
I love it Steel Brigade: That is good to see. So hopefully Mission Brazil Leatherneck will be the LAST figure with the Duke suicide wrists issued. statesofeuphoria: I'll trade an old one for a new one if anyone is interested. I have 3 MOC Dake: Quote:

This Doc is much nicer with the new forearms. Glad I went ahead and sent for a second one. Shin-Gouki: I think with the limited run this change is getting it will be the one that is sought after, not the first one that was produced WAY more. ash32678: My son and I are very excited. My check from July 6th cleared the bank today.
Now, just more waiting.......but at least he's on his way!! bram1216: Quote:

I think that depends on quanities produced of each. Blaster'spunchingbagg: I just got my second one today. It's pretty cool. Glad about the 25th logo on it. shlappyguy: (read the following in a nasally whine) Man, I ordered early and got a slit-wrist Doc. Wish I got a new fore-arm Doc. Now I hate everything. Derek2783: Anyone who wants to trade for my old version, PM me! COBRACOLLECTOR: yea it does look alot better with the fixed hands
but id like to have both versions General Hawk: Interesting change. Cool to see...makes me wish I'd placed another order.
Justin TheLongestDay: I want one! Anybody got a loose one they dont want??? ;) Kaisugi: so here's the question: which one was produced in greater quantity? I would guess the first one. Thus making Doc 2.0 worth more? Or does Doc 1.0 still carry more value because it was the first one? eyeballkid: Does this mean that the people who emailed hasbro about not receiving a figure, even though the check had been cashed, might still get one?
They told me to fax my order and check. I shouldn't have too. COBRACOLLECTOR: Quote:

They told me to fax my order and check. I shouldn't have too. | yea u should still get one cus they told me the same thing and it still came Agent-GHQ: This change could very well increase its value!? But shiets man, Hasbro still have not cashed my check. gunslingercbr: Quote:

You know.... Anger.... I appreciate Hasbro taking the time to fix and evolve their figure sculpts based on fan feedback to no end, but when they do things like this... Irritating. But only irritating because I probably won't be able to get my mitts on one.
Good for those who are finishing last I suppose and hopefully we don't have more poor Duke arm sculpts to look forward to in the future.
Of course we got Mainframe with the old diaper crotch snake eyes sculpt, so who can tell. ceraurus: Shoot! I wish now that I had sent in for one more last minute. Crap! SNAKE EYES: Quote:

I wanted a Doc with fixed wrists and now I'll get one  Roadblock Recall: hmmm, that's cool that they updated it for those of you who wanted it. but I like the look of the older one better. So when my 4 new ones arrive, I'll sell them off to you guys. 2pacnacho: Well I'm still in need of a doc, so if anyone has one for a fair price, let me know. skatezaz: man im so lucky CC, i sent away for one in july and then i had to get a new bank account but the check still went through, and now im gonna have both versions of doc cause i bought one after getting discouraged Captain Carstein: Hey CC I'm glad you finally got a Doc after all the drama with the money order and stuff and the extra money you ended up spending at the Post Office. Great news!
Me, I'm still waiting for them cash my check I sent in August. COBRACOLLECTOR: Quote:

Me, I'm still waiting for them cash my check I sent in August. | yea man thanks man i paid basically twice for each Doc
Hope your MO gets cashed and they send urs out Brother Jinx723: SONOVAHASBRO!!!
They should have done this from the begining w/ the Duke in the 5 pack back in the summer of '07. Should've known better, I've been seeing Clutch & Breaker at TRUs with the new TF Duke arms. I just wish they would've given the Brazilian Leatherneck the new arms, which I know they will since I bought the A.W.E. Striker w/ Leatherneck today. OSOK: they are still shitty duke arms in my book, my tiger force duke are sucks ass and pop right off easy, either way I will be happy to have a medic finally, I sent away for 2 so hopefully I get em Tracker: Be my luck my order was lost and I won't be getting this one. Unclassified: my boy jus' got his today!! he text me today when i was at work! i was gonna post it in another thread but seen this! but i gotta tell him that the arms are different, we were thinkin' they were gonna be on a newer card. Wylde Weezle: I put my order in pretty close to the deadline, so I hope I get one of these newer ones. eyeballkid: Quote:

Yeah!!
non-suicide wrists! manic mailman: Hasbro cashed my check August 14. when did everyone else's get cashed who got the new doc? MAJOR BLOOD: I noticed on my first run Doc it has an embossed shiny logo. It doesn't look like the second run does by those pictures. Which logo does it have Collecter? |
