I recently purchased Henkei Onslaught and i opened him last night to check him out and into my dismay, that the cage pieces on his legs dont stay snapped or closed and i know this is a known issue with Hasbro, but did expected with Takara. Anyway, is there a fix for this? or do i need to order another one and send this one back? Any help is welcome and much appreciated.

Thanks

Don't bother sending it back, you're just as likely to get another one in the same condition.

The only real fix would be to take a piece of very fine sandpaper and shorten the peg just a tiiiiiiny bit. Then to take the sandpaper and reduce the diameter by a very small amount as well.

Basically the peg is a touch too big and it pushes itself out.

Just remember to do only the minimum amount necessary, otherwise it will get so loose it won't peg anyway.

Then you need the superglue fix.

But you'll probably make it too think so out comes the sandpaper again!
