You dont have to glue if you dont move them too much but I glued most of my MTF parts. Some are loose and others I just don't feel confident enough and don't want to loose them.

The JT ones are like a small kit assembly. I finished 2 of 3 today and nothing too complicated. My only complain on them is the helmets. They extremely loose and made of hard plastic. Still don't understand their material choice on this part. I placed some patafix on mine, at least they don't fall.

What kind of glue are you using? My concern is that some glues will eat away the plastic. And in a video review a reviewer said that the glued parts restrict movement.

On the Joy Toy, I am using Super Glue. They call out 502 glue in their instructions. It is my understanding, it is the same thing.
Other than pouches on the torso, I haven't had glued parts restricting movement.

Thanks. Does the glue hold them on fairly well? Any issues with loose neck joints or helmets?

Glue held things on pretty well. I have only knocked one item off, and it was the knife pouch, where I only had a tiny drop of glue to hold it on.


The neck pulls off the torso easily on some of the figures. The head is tighter than the torso/neck joint, so when I push the helmet down against the high collar, the neck gets pulled up.



The heads on my figures are actually pretty tight in the helmets, maybe too tight. Plain marauder heads fit in the helmets just fine.

I think the helmets depend of the figures you're getting. The ones on the Wolf squad are very loose.

Just ordered all three. Can’t wait!

Got my first trio in yday and they function nicely for me. I've not gone through all the add-ons yet and I doubt I'll use a lot of it. The waist joint seems irrelevant and I'm gonna look into gluing it solid with the abdomen to get rid of the 'floating pelvis'.

I'm also well-over the Acid Rain paintwash on figures. I don't need my figures feeling like boogers.

However, I'm getting these guys to be my BF2K stand-ins and I think they're gonna work great once I get another quadruplet set. Avalanche and DeeJay are gonna be tricky to match up.

Anyone have "Victor" yet?
