X-Men Classic Xtreme Rogue error

[ScorpioKyle]

i just got the figure from a friend MIB. He didn't notice it until another friend pointed it out, that she has 2 left arms. I was wondering if anyone knew if that would add or detract from its value if i resold it?

 

[stormfan]

Detract... a lot. People look at that as a defect and try to avoid it.

[electro16]

I disagree with stormfan, I've seen figs with errors go for a whole lot.Not everybody will go for these but alot of people do. This also goes for packaging errors.Check out this example of a green goblin in a locki package.So if I was you I'd keep that fig packaged and hang on to it. http://toywiz.com/ml13lfei.html

I would definitely pass. That and the fact that the figures legs are practically useless. There's hardly any movement in that thigh joint at all.

[pvbvillegas]

who would want a figure with two left arms when the character it is based from has one left arm and one right arm? lol.

[ToyWorldBreaker]

@firedevil@ You know what? You have a true mutant figure. @loll@ I would pass on it though. I made the mistake one time of buying a Captain Atom with two right arms. @pow@ not funny.

it was a gift from a friend, we didn't notice it until we got back from the con.

he may have meant it half-heartedly.. he just doesn't wanna see you disappointed with his gift.. you decide.. lol.

[synch]

only a nub would pay more for figure like that... imo its not a error ... Now something like a NO STAR captain marvel... NOW that is a ERROR!

[jimm]

Had a 2 right handed skrull, at least i could put the ff arms on it

I disagree with stormfan, I've seen figs with errors go for a whole lot.Not everybody will go for these but alot of people do.

A figure in a different package is kind of cool. A 2 left armed Rogue is just freakish. It's a pretty run-of-the-mill error.

 

If you think it's really that cool, you should definitely just buy it off him yourself @smilepunch@

[Hulk Smash]

Funny, i just got the same Rogue from a trade with 2 right arms!!!

Wanna trade?

smartass, I have no interest in this fig.I simply gave my opinion. Explain to me why a packaging mistake is cool and a physical one is not? A mistake is a mistake.Theyre is no difference. @pow@

[scarecr0w13]

i must be pretty lucky then, i have never gotten a figure that was screwed up with 2 whatever hands or feet. i have 261 marvel figures and the only screw up i have is one of the fingers on my icons venom is a lil shorter and rounded off at the end. i did exchange a spidey icons once cause his foot fell off (but luckily i was the original purchaser and there were plenty of them at the time).

 

my extreme rogues knee won't straighten out, so i shoved a flight stand up the back of her vest and shes flying now.

Well, would you rather date a someone that's wearing their shirt inside out, or someone with 2 left arms?

 

That's what I thought.

[BigBot84]

Can you really gauge the value of that error figure with that store's asking price? I can ask for $500 for an open Hercules, doesn't mean he's worth that much. Best way to find out is to go to eBay.

It makes perfect sense. A figure with 2 left arms is a defect in the product. A packaging error doesn't detract from the value because most people throw it away anyway.

 

Just like the dating scenario I brought up. You can throw the shirt away but you can't get rid of the left arm.

 

 

It may not have been the best example but if you use your brain... it's not that hard to understand.

[synch]

Personally I check my figures for screw ups like THAT and then if I find any I AVOID them at all costs Lets say I were to come across a series 5 redskull or dark phoenix on the pegs right now with this defect ... I need the figures but like that they are uterly pointless :D

 

well... I guess I would proly pick them up for custom forder or some such but other than that ...

Ok, ultimately, when you buy a Marvel Legend you're buying it for the figure, not the packaging. So if there's something wrong with the packaging, it doesn't really matter all that much because like I said, most people get rid of it. But if the figure itself is messed up or defective, why would you want it? The only person that the wrong packaging wouldn't appeal to (at least on SOME level) is a MOC collector. I'm sorry but no kind of collector would want a 2 left handed figure. It may be neat see a picture of, but that's about all people want with them.

Like I said I've seen people go for this sort of thing,they view it as one of a kind or very very rare.Now I personaly don't go for these,the 2 hand mistakes I have I only noticed when I got home so they weren't intentional buys. As far as a packaging error not appealing to a moc collector I think you've got it backwards.A collector who opens figs won't care about a package at all but a person who collects moc will be the most interested in a packaging mistake.
