News Credits: 9  | TRNS-03 Alicon Staff/Spike Storage So I just got my Impossible Toys Alicon today, and though this is something I've wanted for 26 years, there was 2 things that could have been done to make it perfect. Storage for the staffs and spikes that come off in alt mode. They got this part right, the connector piece for the two halves of the staff store in the gator's mouth.  But, the front shoulder spikes come off for transformation.    There is no place to put these spikes anywhere on the figure in alt mode, I searched everywhere, inside and out. The staff halves also have nowhere to stow. So, using plastic from the lid of this container,  I fashioned a storage clip.  It stores right inside his tail.    Pretty much completely unseen, and completely unobtrusive.  Quote:

I'll be trying out something like you've done myself. |
