    Firmament's combiner peg.

    Now that more people formed Thunderking.
    Has there a solution been found on how to get Firmament's combination peg easy(er) out?

    Cheers

    To me, it was easier than I thought. I used a small flat screwdriver and it popped out without much hassle and damage. I was honestly surprised.

    I use the lubricant marketed for Rubiks cubes. It's plastic safe and usually comes with a small enough nozzle to get into the small joint areas. Made everything much easier to move.

    I'm glad someone else feels the same way. Absolutely love Cang's interpretation of the Predacons, but being a child of the 80's it's hard for me to wrap my head around the Dinobots being a combiner and Gigapower fills that niche perfectly for me. I have no clue why my brain easily accepts Thunderking and not stylized Dinobots, lol

    I am more open to different interpretations rather, but only as long as they look cool to me.

    Hope Cang does something to really creative for their Dino-combiner head than just fancier Grimlock head.


    But not that.

    Except that Pledge doesn't make that product anymore. They stopped production almost two years ago.

    Best substitute I've found so far is Quick Shine in the green bottle. Not quite as good as the old pledge and requires an extra coat or two, but it will get the job done.

    Speaking of which, hopefully after the CNY period we get to see the combined mode for the Dinobots!

    I completed Thunderking today.
    To be honest, I am disappointed.
    Because of these Facts

    - He is far to heavy, and nearly collapses because
    of his own weight
    - The Sword is very loose in Hand, even with closed
    Palm around the Sword Handle, it comes off very easy
    - Same goes for the Cannon, very loose in Palm,
    and very loose on the Arm Attachment
    - RazorClaw is far to Spikey
    - The Spikes around the chest fall off to often
    - The Spikes DO REALLY Hurt
    - The Combine Process is far to stressful, to much force
    is needed to actually lock all pieces into place, and
    in addition to that, RazorClaws Spikes do really hurt.
    -There is almost no Tolerance at all when it
    comes to lock all the Pieces into Place.

    - All the Combiner Pegs on Rampage, Divebomb
    and Tantrum are an ABSOLUTE HELLISH Nightmare to get
    them out! This is really not funny.
    I understand that they need to be tight, but NOT
    that tight, Jesus!

    Really sad about the combined Form.
    To much force is needed to actually put him together.
    I think I will Display the Figures on their own.

    The Individual Bots, mainly Gorilla, Divebomb
    and Rhino are absolute Masterpieces.
    But the Combined Mode, similar to TFC Predaking
    is a whole Mess.

    I can only hope Volcanicus turns out to be better.

    I'm sorry you are having a poor experience.
    I can only speak for myself, but I've not encountered many of these issues.
