That problem gets overlooked though because we have quick fixes for that. I am sorry to hear the few people in this thread that have had problems but I know multiple others that have not. Speaking for myself, FP is still the top of the ladder in third party projects.


It's not fair to say FansProject is bad because of one instance, or two, or a handful for that matter. But, I've been spoiled by them. Time and time again, they kept raising the bar. They are the leader in transforming toys across the board in my book. I'd rather spend $50 on a Fansproject scout class figure than the same amount on a MP HotRod "-imus Prime". And this is speaking literally. Yet, why not use an unfair statement to bring attention to one of their most devoted fans (my) concerns. They have a well deserved reputation, and I don't hold them up to the same standards as even the almighty Hasbro. These works are of extreme craft - as if they were making them for themselves. That's why I'm all in when it comes to FansProject, spare no expenses. If you gotta make it out of the most expensive plastic, by all means, do tha damn thang to its fullest potential. It seems to me, that a minor slip in quality control, a lapse in care for every fine detail, or even the slightest bit of laziness in character development as reflected in a sculpt - should alarm the FANS that work in each project to bring FansProject releases to life (their artisans). I was unfair, but it's because I intend my words to reach their eyes; after all, true passionate artists seek true crit in order to advance and advance. I'm a huge fan of the project. I want from them their best.

Thanks for the advice Dread_Wing

Ok i will try to do the same once I can dig up my old knife. If I needed to use super glue to thicken a hole or ball joint in the future would I just apply the glue to.. say a tooth pick and smear it over the part in question?

I have been doing it for years, I don't think about it. I guess I just drip it straight on the ball, wipe it around with my fingers and wipe my fingers off before the glue grabs lol, no need for an instant suture. Just make sure that it is thoroughly dry before putting it back into the socket.

I did it with Shrapnel's hind legs just last night, helped a lot.

I've never toyed around w/ the chest compartment. It doesn't seem to open and I don't force the issue. The only time I force a moving part is if the instructions say it can be moved. I noticed the weapon tabs were very tight so exercise more caution when taking the blades apart or putting them together. I have yet to break my Thundershred.

I can't be bothered to read through all 6 pages right now but I'd like to suggest my method for removing the blades from the purple section: push them out from the inside with a long thin object. The blades themselves are too fat but something like a toothpick should work.
