Enjoy guys. This thing literally took me a couple days to put together and i would put it together and glue pieces in place, then let them dry. But in the end, it's WELL worth it!!
This things is great and I agree, the head does come off pretty easily. Also mine if too much rotation in the abdomen area with come off from the back and is a pain to reconnect. I did the mod encline mentione about the fingers. Where the posts come out of the fingers I took a hot exacto knife and mashed the tabs down so the fingers still move but can not pop off. Great review! I think some time down the road I might get another and glue more pieces in place.
As i said, i glued everything as i went along...it was pretty obvious what parts are meant to stay in one place and not be apart of his articulation...but after Bumblebee, i didn't want really anything popping off. I'll probably do your technique for the fingers....my soldering iron i think would get tooooo hot
