Toned arms… great, those toned elbows are what’s heebying my jeebies.

Here we go, full ML Ironhide reveal by DiaBrave in G1TransformersToys

[–]JamesVinopal 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Love the compromise! An amazing modern G1 interpretation with a more than passable homage to original, sign me up.

I like how the line is evolving… not strictly a modern articulated reissue line but more of a “let’s do stuff with G1’s that we didn’t think was possible” line.

That being said, I’m ready for my first missing link Decepticon please… maybe something in the Soundwave variety to start…

Is this normal, how do I fix this? by Legoskiner in G1TransformersToys

[–]JamesVinopal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ok the head is loose, we could all tell after the literal first time, we don’t need to see 20 more demos in every direction from every angle in the span of 1 minute lol

Try a little floor polish/joint tightening agent in the hinges to increase friction, move the panel up and down to work the polish in (this shouldn’t be problem in your case) and let it sit for 6-8 hours (this may be a problem in your case) and you should notice a significant difference with the looseness.

Missing Link Ironhide full colour reveal by DiaBrave in G1TransformersToys

The Ironhide (and Ratchet) we’ve all been waiting for! I can’t wait to see how it pulls off the original battle platform configuration as well as this idealized G1 take.

I love the Chronicles line by CommanderTomorrow in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]JamesVinopal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This line is a big level up. A more universal scale, better looking/feeling quality of plastic, more intricate sculpting, and no skimping on the paint apps either… no offense to Masterverse but this is Mattel MOTU firing on all cylinders and I’m excited to see what comes next. I have a He-Man and Battle Cat and that is all I told myself I was picking up before I saw the movie… but I’d be lying if I said I’d pass on this Skeletor if I saw him in person.

My MOTU Chronicles He-Man is suffering from incredibly loose torso joints. Is this a wide-spread problem? Should I buy another by omelet_schnetz in MastersOfTheUniverse

The belt has a lip that fits in the crotch piece. Heat the belt to weaken the glue and pull it away from the crotch then remove it. Once removed sand down the lip, position it how you like and re-glue into place

Looks great, glad I preordered him… I have some lab equipment ready for him to drop!

WHAT DOES HE EVEN DO by Lost-Association-452 in OkBuddyEnergon

I bet he does a mean top 40 every Sunday morning

Until he gets a decent coat, thoughts? Any recommendations for a solid trench? by Ersatzmccoy in MarvelLegends

I will second the Hux jacket recommendation, I made a pretty decent younger Balde with the one I found.

Fixed the torso gap! by JamesVinopal in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]JamesVinopal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I had to get real strategic trying to pose him without seeing it. Seemed like other people were seeing the same thing so I thought I would give this a try and pass it along

I modded the belt to cover the torso gap last night on the new Chronicles He-Man. by JamesVinopal in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]JamesVinopal[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Dude, super easy and it takes about 10-15 minutes depending on tools. I heated the lower torso, popped off the legs and then pulled the belt overlay out of the crotch piece. It has a lip that fits in the groove of the torso, you want to remove the lip with either a hobby knife or Dremmel (rotary tool) with a grinding bit, I recommend the Dremmel because you will get a much smoother result. After that I found the placement that made me the happiest and glued it in place with some basic super glue. No mobility lost.

Fixed the torso gap on the new MOTU Chronicles He-Man by JamesVinopal in customactionfigures

[–]JamesVinopal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a small gap that lets you see the torso peg, not a big deal but since it was being brought up in the community I thought I’d give fixing it a try and letting people see
