What do you do when you get a broken mini?

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

What do you do when you get a broken mini?

Postby NovemberBlue » Tue Jun 23, 2015 1:50 pm

Hi all:

I was opening some Walking Dead and Sci-fi minis last week, and was disappointed to find that one was broken and another had a missing weapon. One was a Walking Dead Series 2 orange version charred Walker (1:72 :( ) with his head broken off (the box was undamaged) and the other was a Judge Dredd who has no gun... it does not look like it was ever attached.

What do you do with these? I emailed Funko but have not heard back. I do not think the store will take returns on blind boxed items. Has anyone had any luck on these issues from Funko?

Thanks,
Melissa

Tough break on the charred walker, that's a hard one to get too. Hope you can get them replaced somehow....

The store should honestly be able to take them back... It's a damaged product.

I'm sure the store would take them back, but they're probably just going to refund your money or give you two more sealed blind boxes. I've done plenty of toy repairs to my kids' action figures, for something like your WD figure I would drill a hole through both pieces, insert a carbon fiber rod to reinforce it and then shoe-goo the parts back together making sure to use a small enough amount that it won't squish out and make a mess.

I've had a broken one. I just glued it back on and gave it to someone who wanted it

Funko won't do anything. The retailer is responsible. Maybe they will let you pick some new ones. Good luck!

Usually the retailer will be able to make a return or exchange. For the walker though I would just try to fix it.

Keep the Walker and just glue the head back on. Return the Dredd.

My headless Hershel's foot fell off lol. It took me awhile to notice it. Something just looked off about it. Simply krazy glue fixed it right up

This is probably what I'll try. I have another Dredd already, and the walker, I hate to give back even a broken one that rare, since I'll probably get one I already have.

Thanks for the input all.
