The Energon Pub

So I just got Animated Blackout and he's missing a set of missiles from under his wing. I don't know if it was missing from the word go or if it fell off and I didn't notice or what. The missiles on the other side don't seem to come off, though, so I don't know if they're even supposed to be removable... I don't want to force it and have it break...anyone know if they're supposed to pop on and off?

I finally managed to pry the other one off...think it’s safe to say they're glued on and not supposed to pop on and off so it's much more likely it was just missing than it happened to fall off. I'll probably continue tearing the house apart looking for it, but I don't think I'm very likely to find anything.

The good news is it's not at all noticeable if both are just left off. The bad news is I'm anal about my figs being complete...and if I go to sell it (which is possible since I'm kinda on the fence with my Animated figures so it would probably be one of the first to go in any collection thinning movements) that's probably going to hurt the resale value of this fig a fair amount. And I bought it MISB from a local collector so there’s not much to be done about exchanging it for a proper one. Ain't dat about a b**ch?

Sorry to hear that. Blackout is a very awesome (albeit very expensive) animated figure. I just checked mine and the missiles are on there pretty good. Sounds like it was a factory error because I don't see how you'd pop that baby off without noticing it. Just return it and get another one from whatever online site you used.
