    Almost passed on Brunt. Glad I changed my mind. Have enjoyed mixing him up with Sixgun. 6AE3E6DF-56BA-4566-AD15-C92E7475927D.jpeg

    Well their plastic might've been initially. But have a drink on their behalf.

    No need to apologize. Just don't let it happen again.

    Clip on through friction. Either something is broken or use the tried and tested floorwax method (Floorshine is what I use).

    I'd say the blow drier but it is clear plastic, might cause warping.

    Slide the wings fully outward so they aren't bowing, and the back panels snap in securely.

    The clear blue forehead plastic is supposed to get pushed in when the mask is in place. There's a spring inside that pushes the clear blue forehead piece back out when the mask is off.

    Mine has not had that problem although multiple other people have noted it. The main issue appears to be the spring being too strong / long. You can't just take out the spring, otherwise, the forehead piece will not get pushed out again. Not enough friction will of course contribute but not the main issue.

    I posted a tutorial before on taking apart the head. The head is not supposed to be glued together although one person posted here about having glue. The most important part is having a screwdriver that fits flush with the screw head (the metal used for the screw is relatively soft and my first screwdriver almost ruined it).

    I try not to use Pledge anymore unless I have no other choice. I prefer using tape (electrical / vinyl type, masking if space is too tight for that, cut down to size or shape your need) since it's immediate and won't cause crusting. I've even cut out doughnuts to go around pegs / screw shafts. However, using tape means taking apart the loose area / joint.

    In this case, when viewing the clear forehead piece from the side, you could line the top of the piece or the chamber with tape and see if provides enough friction. Otherwise, you're gonna have to do something about the spring. Cutting down the spring a little bit is one option (can be risky as springs tend to get smaller with time anyways) or replace the spring (hobby shops may carry these...or your clicky pen).

    It's middle of November, and 2 toys left that are pre-ordered, Spindle and Astrotrain. Excited to end the year with them.

    Then it's straight to Ratbat!

    The wings should be slid back on their sliders in bot mode, otherwise they’ll get warped like yours are starting to do.

    That will also allow you to tab the white tabs of the cockpit assembly into the slots on the wings.

    Just got the Toyhax Ratchet kit this morning. I tried applying the wheel stickers on- only for one to flick away into the shadow realm, never to be seen again and I just gave up on them. The rest of the stickers I just didn't feel like using.

    Apeface has turned out to be a great figure, but god his instructions are trash, and they're gonna make a lot of people think he's terribly made.

    I started to un-sticker some of the toyhax stickers on our toys. Sometimes, less is more. I would prefer smaller (and cheaper) sets with just accents to enhance a figure....rather than putting sticky paper all over a new toy.
