    I found that when I tried to pose the figure.

    Thank you, I'll have a look when I have time. Not sure why they used this mess instead of something that just clips by friction.

    That's what I thought, but no clue where.

    I'll update I find out something after messing with it. Right now, what a disappointment.

    Here is an image of how an broken armature lock would look like:

    Am I missing the whole part there? Where does the blue part go, on the other side?

    I was not talking about the blue piece. I just wanted to illustrate how a broken tab on the arm armature looks like.

    Yours looks broken too.

    Finally found a perfect figure for these.
    If it's climbing ice walls, or tearing out transformers insides.

    So, as anyone tried to customize the G1 version into Red Geist from The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn?

    I wouldn't say "absolutely". They had plans for Shadowmaru from Hexatron, but that never came to fruition.

    I would love a Red Geist version so much, but yeah, still salty about Shadowmaru. I don't see the Doubledealer version selling particularly well, but Brave is pretty niche too. Still, would love to see it.

    Although I read the special instructions and did NOT break him transforming him the first time, he nonetheless took a nosedive during a changeover to new shelves and broke the little plastic nubs around the buttons. Printed these & they are a total lifesaver.
