Some have said to try and clear the contact points for the magnets if your still having problems. Worth a try.

I was curious if anyone else was having magnet problems with some of the switchouts in their piece...

Not too many, but it seems to happen here and there.

I will try to give this a shot tomorrow.

On a lighter note...

This statue kicks all kinds of @ss. Very happy to have it in my collection. I just wish Prime would've released a 1/3 Arkham Asylum/City Batman before they abandoned the line. That's the piece I wanted to pair up my AO Deathstroke with.

Agreed on Deathstroke. Unless something overwhelmingly mind blowing for me is released, he'll be my only statue of this size and the centerpiece of my collection.

Why do you prefer the Arkham Asylum/City Batman over the Origins one?

I tried cleaning the magnets, but it didn't help. I finally looked at them and discovered the problem: The magnets are off-center. All of the switchouts with well centered magnets all fit perfectly.

It's my second favorite Bat costume. I like the Origins suit but it's a bit bulky for my tastes. IMO, the Asylum/City suit is most like the comic Bats but has a modern tactical look to it. I'm still stunned that Prime abandoned the 1/3 Arkham lineup without making a 1/3 Asylum or City Bats. Arkham Asylum was the game that started it all.

Yep, they are definitely off center. Sucks that you can't get replacements.

I can dig that. Yeah, with the way companies are doing every incarnation of Batman imaginable, I'm surprised they didn't do that one, too.

Yah.

It's all good, I didn't plan on displaying those too often. When I get the urge, they work decently enough for temporary showcasing.

And I'll keep an eye out for replacements on the secondary market.

Slade's unmasked head, right arm that holds the bo staff, and the plain left fist.
