    Or use the stand? Because he’s a wee bit smaller it can be nice to have him aerial a bit!

    Just got a used figure and had a few questions. First, upon opening the box this spring was loose inside. Looks like a small ratchet piece? Any ideas where that goes?

    The left arm where the bicep area pulls out of the shoulder is loose-ish. When I pull the right one out it stays out but any upward pressure on the left one pushes it back up into the shoulder.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Anyone interested in a brand new FT Soar Blue 2017 version? I think this latest reissue already has diecast chrome thigh parts installed. The item is brand new and sealed with FT's cellotape. DM me for further details. Thanks

    That's encouraging to hear. I was able to get a new set of the gold knee clips that had a tendency to break ordered. I just wasn't sure about the integral leg ratchets being available still.

    @maddogtheta Yea I wish I can find you that link but it happen like 2 weeks ago or so and their Soar was in worst shape than yours and I'm surprised FT had parts for that. Dunno if he had to pay or not though.

    I have had to pay shipping for the parts from Fans Toys before, definitely cheaper than buying a whole new one though!

    Yeah, that's strange. I guess it just depends on what they have left over or what they can get made still?

    They should. Someone else just recently requested and said they will be receiving Soar parts.
    Keep us posted.

    Love my Soar, so if you like the red version, I say go for it. Especially if you already have the replacement parts that came with Grimlock.
