I was really happy to find a wraith, but when I opened him I started my typical figure check. When I started to move his arms at the elbows, before I even noticed the three little connecting cables were broken. They are the dumbest things ever on each formarm there are "cannons" at the back of those there are three cable that connect to the biceps, so YOU CAN'T MOVE HIS ARMS OR THEY WILL BREAK!!!! If you decide to keep his arms straight, you can't lift his arms up to high either because of the shoulderpads, You can fix that by popping the head and removing the pads, if you don't mind Snakes Eyes chest, the hole for the two knives is still there. BTW under the mask is Tony Stark!! Looks like Ironman has joined Cobra!

Yeah, I heard about this. Another point for the 25th being "the most articulated GI Joe figures EVER!"
What's this guy supposed to look like anyway? Anyone got a pic from the comic?

We should be able to replace these with bits of tubing or wire (though we really shouldn't have to worry about this.. play testing Hasbro??) I'll see about that when I get mine. Thanks for the heads up.

Sorry bout poor quality but here you go. BTW the cool machine gun comes with... i have yet figured out a way for the figure to hold it. Ironically any duke arm figure can hold it great!

Tony Stark is staying on MOC for me, but it's good you put this warning out for those who open.

It was already posted on the review but apparently nobody reads those things.
It's a good thing you drew extra attention to this. I figure I'll cut off the wires and give him new ones. I was liking the sculpt except for the tubes and the color scheme. |

I noticed this issue when I opened one. To avoid breaking the tubes, rotate the forearm gauntlets so the elbow joint lines up with the curve in the back of the gauntlet. Then bend the arms carefully while keeping the gauntlet as close to the elbow as possible.
You don't get a full 90 degree bend but it puts less stress on the tubes.
