About a month ago, my Hot Toys 1/6 scale First Order Snowtrooper Officer arrived in the mail. I was overjoyed; my Kylo Ren would finally have another First Order character to go with him. Unfortunately, there was a problem.

Spoiler
The chest plate had a paint defect.

I was appalled, and sent a report to Sideshow Collectibles, Hot Toys' U.S. distributor, detailing the issue and requesting a replacement chest plate. The obliged, sending me a replacement part, but with one condition: that I destroy the original, damaged component.

And so. I waited. Eventually, it arrived, for me to find that they had not simply sent me a replacement chest plate; they had sent me an entirely new body, rather than simply another chest plate. Still, this worked. Thus, I set to work on destroying the original parts.

I put on some matte black lipstick, donned my Stahlhelm, placed some headphones in my ears, played Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood", picked up a hammer, and set to work. My harsh tones echoed throughout my residence as I sang along, each line ending with I deafening bang as a swung the hammer. This is the result:



I then took the above photo and sent it to Sideshow, who then replied, stating that my work was satisfactory.

Spoiler


All fixed up!

Felt wierd destroying something that I paid quite a bit for, even if I received a replacement.

Ah, I see. So you'll have to just set fire to the general area it was transported to, and that'll probably do it

You should've just photoshopped it to make it look like you broke it.
Then you could've sold it

Yeah. I understand why (they don't want people reselling components), but it's still  weird having them ask you to destroy a component and send them photographic evidence.

I would recommend the "Ruby Kisses Ultra Matte Super Rich" kind. It's pretty cheap, and is of decent quality.

Some guy had to do it for his limited edition Fallout 4 vinyl album, just hammered it to pieces before they were allowed to send him a refund
