    Anyone else missing BOTH screws that hold together the wings on the upper right shoulder (back side)?

    I was wondering why it was so loose thinking that maybe the screws were not tightened enough but then put my glasses on and noticed Screenshot_20221125-165706_Gallery.jpg they were just not there.

    I mean, COME ON Hasbro.

    The QC lottery strikes again. You could ask Hasbro what screws they use. Otherwise, you're looking at an exchange.

    I’m not sure this is a “huge” QC issue

    I guess if your copy has all the screws probably not?

    Yeah, gotta echo this sentiment here. Some copies make it past QC with minor issues. It sucks for sure, but it's still just a thing that happens.

    At least it should be an easy fix. The hardest part will be finding out the right size screws.

    This sucks but thankfully it seems like a fairly easy fix? Simply track down the right screws and rectify it.

    It isn't your responsibility to track down and buy the additional parts that should have been included in the product. That is on Hasbro's quality control. Get it replaced with a proper copy at their expense.
