Hello, I recently decided to collect the beloved GI Joe toys I had as a kid and today got a hydrofoil off ebay. Is it normal for the missiles to tip forward into the inside of the boat when you tip the toy downwards?

If I recall, this happened to me even when it was brand new.
I imagine there might be some way to tighten the missiles in their silos, but until then don't tip it forward? I am reminded of the old joke. Me: Hey Doc it hurts when I twist my arm like this. Doc: Don't twist your arm like that then. Me: On a more serious note I think I made sure the missiles all fell into the hold and then opened it up to retrieve them, sometimes if they slipped out halfway they would "lock" the launcher. Perhaps wrapping some paper around the missiles at the end would tighten the space enough to hold them in?

My main concern was that this one was somehow defective, so if it's a common issue with all of them I'm not so worried. Perhaps taping a wall of cardboard to the inside to prevent the missiles from falling all the way forward would help?

Thanks for the flashback to my childhood in the '80s!
Yes, they did that even back then. |

I just hated when they slipped out halfway and you dont realize till you press the lever.
