Wrong.

These are tiny, tiny joints made from plastic. Ratchets would not last nor
likely be strong enough to hold the figure up without being very bulky.
These are parts that fold up to be a helicoptor rotor remember, not
airplane wings.

It looks like the rotor can just be popped off without destroying the toy, so...

Definitely.

Definitely intrigued with this...

I agree with the clear stand being included. As someone else stated, it could be used in vehicle mode as well, which I think would be really cool.

Yea this project shows potential, I hope it comes to fruition soon. I myself just painted mine up to look more acurate, so having better rotors would suffice

Would something like this work?

Yes and no.
The big problem is durabilty and longevity.
For the joints to be burly enough to hold her up they would
fail pretty quickly. Due to the materrials having to be so hard.

We could make one that would work a few times but they would
wear out very quickly under the kind of stress the design would
cause.
