Hi guys,

This isn't a custom per se, but I figured the Radicons would be the best people to help me.

A friend bought me an MP-01 from HK, but I'm fairly sure it's second hand, since all the plastic ties were missing from the box. It's in good condition, except that the chest plate seems a little loose. When I close the chest, there's still about a 1 mm gap between the chest plates.

Is this normal? Is there a way to fix it so the chest plates close tighter? I'm thinking of inserting a stiff wire all the way down the hinge to force the plates to close tighter.

Would appreciate your input.

Thanks for your time.

 

the answer to the first question is, yes, its unfortunately normal. its something that seems to get slightly worse each time they do a new run of the figure. (I wonder how bad it will be on the upcoming magnus re-issue?) I think that the true fix to this issue was to trim a small amount of plastic off the part, but I've never had to do it so I really don't quite remember.
