@mnsor792 ай бұрын
I finally found a review that shows the same problem my copy (a reissue as well) has with the chest pannels: they don't go in all the way when positioned on the chest, but they don't even come close to one another like yours do when on the abdomen. Result? I can't have it transformed in any of the 2 alt forms. I don't know if it's a matter of the slider connectors being misassembled (L & R are inverted on mine, but they are in a lot of reviews I've seen, yet those copies don't seem to have a problem working properly), or if it's a matter of the tabs have an excess of material that needs shaving off. Either way, the seller say they can't do anything for me. Such a shame! My last resort is contacting FT directly, but I don't have much hope they'll be able to help me... Great review by the way.

I've heard a couple people have had broken feet out of the box, mine came on ship freight from China and was a little beat up but the plastic clamshell kept him all protected. For transforming and posing, I'm careful and haven't had any issues, but he does require some care. The toes are die cast with a skinny piece of plastic supporting them that can easily twist if you grab it at the wrong place.
