Yesterday, I put together a few used WHALEs and started thinking about all the easily broken parts on many GI Joe vehicles and sets. I know a lot is due to deteriorating old plastic but I think many things could have been designed differently to make them sturdier. Here's a list of things I'm tired of breaking or purchased broken.
1. WHALE vertical vanes, cannon retainers, missile launcher arms. 2. FANG roll cage, missiles cracking, droopy blades. 3. Defiant wheel housing/retainers, inverted guns, engine grille, blue gantry doors/gun attachments slots, black revolving door, booster swivel chairs. 4. Moray side cannons, spotlight lens loose. 5. HQ jail walls. 6. Mauler, Wolverine tow ropes. That's all I think of right now. Anyone else have any to add? |

agreed. also the snowcat missle rack
ive actually been casting the jail cell door and verticle whale fins. i have a mold for the tow rope, but still having trouble with it due to the fact that the rope is so thin. i did replicate a dusty bi pod too.

fyi, baby oil is great to avoid any damage to parts like landing gear etc when they wont move after years in storage or when your trying to disassemble something.

Phantom's extendable wings, which controls the pop up gun mechanism. The Phantom in general is pretty fragile.
