    The balljoint on Sky Shadow however is just a tad too big so I'll have to sand that one down. But it fits perfectly on Skydive. Secure but easy to move. Nice work on these man :thumb 

    Also, I'll be ordering your Spinister head soon as I have plans for a Spinister too :D

    Hi! I ordered one of these sets and I have a question about how the lower wings tab into the lower arms. They seem to lock together in such a way that the wing segment needs to slide sideways or twist to unlock, and that will be difficult with the wing-fold linkage assembled. Am I missing something, or am I supposed to cut or sand something off the lower wings?

    Specifically, the tab that has the 3mm hole has a smaller tab that goes into the slot on the lower arm. However, the wing has another, separate tab in this area that goes into an empty part on the back of the arm. Are both tabs supposed to go into the arm, or is one of them just supposed to rest on top of it?

    The sets look great and really look good on the figure!

    Will this head also work on the Dreadwind remold from Power of the Primes?

    Nice work, man! I especially like that the wings fold in half. Wouldn't expect that from Hasbro's parts Count limitations for this line.

    Could you make/post some Pictures in limb or combined mode?
