What I do with the backpack is pull the bandolier down a bit and put the peg in his back only. On mine it's the malleability of the bandolier that seems to work the pack loose.

I concur. I do the same. Don't put it through the bandolier.

After the leg of my FF broke off I really started to look at the design of these figs and I think the hip butterfly joint is a bad design. I don't think that the additional leg articulation really adds much and the bar and ball attachment is thin. When compared to a Power Rangers figure, that uses a standard bar and ball hip joint, the Classified design is much weaker. The fix is simple but I worry that folks are going to cause lasting damage without knowing it because I sure did.

Don’t go crazy on the sanding it takes just a little bit to make sure the joint moves easily but will still be tight enough to hold a pose. |

Great thank you! Sounds a bit scary but should be doable!

Any ideas for straightening out CC’s helmet? I figured I could get the helmet off and reposition and re-glue it, but it won’t budge and I can’t get a blade in there. I’ll keep going but it started to tear a bit.
Has anyone done this? I have some customizing experience, but these 6” figures are relatively new to me. Thank you! UPDATE: Got it straightened out, but this was very hard and very nerve wracking. Felt I was about to tear his helmet at any time. Last edited by deliciouspeter; 07-07-2021 at 03:03 PM.. |
