Because I just bought a 30th Viper just to give his weapons to the 5 PoC Vipers I bought, and so far they are not able to hold any of the weapons at all.
Did they really go the extra distance to make the hands THAT much smaller to accomodate these smaller handles, or what? Cause the hands really don't look any different but the 30th has a much better grip on his weapons. |

Interesting observation, I noticed that too. I only tried with the RPG and the PoC Viper couldnt hold it for crap.

I'm almost tempted to believe that because I posed them holding the Pulse Rifle, their hands have been permanently extended to hold it or something.
Which really pisses me off. I love the PoC Viper way more than the 30th (I think the red arm bands are tacky), but I like the 30th weapons more. Last edited by Barnaby Jones; 09-22-2011 at 05:03 PM.. |

You should probably return them to the store.

The guns that came with my POC Viper won't fit in his hands.

I gave the RPG to my 30th IG and he handles it pretty well. I love all the weapons that come with the new Viper, but I have struggled to make them look right in his hands.

eh, it's a little late to do that with my PoC Vipers, they are like 4 months old now.
And the 30th Viper isn't bad. If I bought a bunch I probably would, but for now I'll just use him as a squad leader or for custom parts or something. I'm sure the weapons will fit in others hands, or I could just wrap some electrical tape around the handles to get them to hold them better. |

Sell them to me. BEAM's home for wayward figures.
If it's a matter of the weapon being too loose or too tight, could you try opening/closing the hand with the hot water method? |

I've been thinking of trying that. I've never actually done it before, so that's why I was a bit apprehensive to do it.
