I asked this in another thread, but didn't get an answer, so I'm asking again.

Combiner Wars has grown on me, but I've got problems with a couple of my figures. My Skydive's elbow can't hold up his kibble gun, and my Firefly's tailfin and landing gear are super loose and floppy. Are these things normal, or should I replace my figures?

Doesn't sound normal to me. I have all of the aerial bots thus far except Air Raid. Mine have tight joints, hold weapons secure in hand, and peg nicely.

Seems defective to me. All of my arialbots have pretty tight joints, though my firefly does have a pretty loose landing gear as well.

Only issues I noticed is my Firefly's right hip and waist is loose in robot mode. I'm displaying mine in combined mode and no other issues.

I hate to be that guy, but have you tried changing them to courier or times new roman?

I'd just exchange them. Only issue I have on mine is that Fireflight just can't hold up Powerglide when using Powerglide as a Targetmaster buddy for them. Will put some clear coat on his hip joints to help but still annoying.

I laughed. A+ joke!

That's a pretty bold suggestion.

My Skydive has loose elbows as well. They can hold a pose empty-handed, but like you said, he can't hold his gun up. For me, it's not a big deal, not worth replacing the figure.

One of mine has a loose head. It's pretty annoying.

I've definitely got loose landing gear on mine. Arms and legs on all of them are not quite as tight as I'd like but nothing too bad. Nothing I'd return them for (especially since I'd only be able to return them for cash as they're not going to have any more in stock, I'm sure).

Except I already did, like a week or two ago.

Cool. Is your new one better?

I do notice he's kinda loose as Superion's arm, have to carefully pose the big guy's elbow or the weight of the gun makes him less than ideal. I don't even want to know how mine would handle Powerglide. On his own he's fine, though, so whatevs.
