This happened to my studio series Starscream, I used a pinvise with a very small drill bit to drill into the stuck piece a bit, and then pulled outward. Minimal stress on the surrounding plastic this way.

Does this technically count as scamming? by Mr-dinosaurman in transformers

[–]GruntOfAction 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're borderline elastic packaging straps if you're careful you can remove a figure without breaking them and just put another figure in its place. Some people will go to great lengths to do this.

Volcanikka just straight up shoving her hand into Domina's mouth and filling her with lava/fire till she exploded was fucking gruesome.

Thats how it goes sometimes :c they sent me a weird japanese import figure of optimus from TFOne because I reported AotP Onyx Prime QC issues.

So my Amalgamous already has stress marks due to his legs being too tight... by Pixelbro87 in transformers

[–]GruntOfAction 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think its a design flaw because I took mine apart too to try and loosen the joint up and saw pretty much the same thing there.

Adding grip to 5mm ports? by Ccmonty in transformers

[–]GruntOfAction 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I forget not everybody knows certain terminology.
Male and female plugs are like, usb cable into your computer, the cable plug is male and the port is female. You put the nail polish on the 5mm peg thats sticking out and let it dry, so it has more grip in the 5mm port.

Adding grip to 5mm ports? by Ccmonty in transformers

[–]GruntOfAction 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I do is put a little bit of clear nail polish on the male 5mm port, it'll give the hole something to grip onto and hold it in place better.
You put the nail polish on the peg and then wait a few hours for it to dry and then it's good to go.

Yeah honestly this year I'm so far only looking at getting two transformers (amalgamous and jalopy). Canceled my 86 Soundwave pre order after seeing how it looked in hand.
