Does anybody else's Megs have severe problems with the turret arm?

The canon arm is incredibly loose at the point where it connects to the hexagonal peg, so the Gun arm is always falling off. If I try to use the spinning gimmick it'll just fly off.

The rest of him is pretty solid, but that arm just gets to me. Anybody have a fix for that?

I do however like the nod to G2 Hero Megs he's got going there. Even his gun resembles that of G2 Megs.

A coat or two of clear nail polish, maybe? That might tighten the junctions up a little... :-?

hmm clear nail polish. not a bad idea. However and this might sound dumb, but should the coat of nail polish go around the hexagonal peg, or inside the round hole in the arm.

Probably both.

Thanx for idea, i'll try it tonight when i get home.

Only problem i have with the gun arm is it is an ugly and crap design... he should have a gun on his shoulder and TWO hands....

Its a shame really, cuase they otherwised managed to mate a G2esque megs that had a rotating turret, no mean feat.

I agree the concept was very good. and looking at the figure, i would think it would have been easier to give him an arm cannon. and 2 functional arms, than it was to create this odd contraption of a weapon.

If you look at how the other arm transforms, I'm sure the could have been able to make a rotating section for the cannon, to end up between the arms in Tank mode, but rotate to over the forearm for robot mode. Not much differently than it does now, but remain attached, and have an actual fist.

The spin and fly off, action is as silly and unrequired as Prime's Punch ... dizzy twirly Action.
