Earthrise Snapdragon minor issue - stuck hand. Anyone else run into this?

Postby ZeldaTheSwordsman » Sun Oct 18, 2020 5:12 pm

Motto: "Earthrise restock or riot"
When I first got my Earthrise Snapdragon out of box and tried to transform him, one of his hands (the right, if memory serves) simply refused to move. I even tried levering it, it wasn't wanting to budge - almost like it was glued (but I saw no signs of glue). I was finally able to get it to move after loosening the joint by removing the screw (and it still took levering). Since that, it's moved freely.

Anyone else experience this, whether with Snapdragon or another figure? Or have any idea as to the cause?
WANT:
* Cyb. Galvatron key, missiles
* Omega Lock
* Primus Cyber Key, coattail panel
* Powerlinx Comettor
* Leader Sentinel Prime sword, shield
* RiD Galvy dragon head, beast arms
* Leader Ironhide windshield, R hood assy.
* Cyb. Wing Saber left chestplate (argh)

I had Exhaust's legs glues together inside of the waist. So if you had one leg kick the other would also move.

And that was after I had REALLY tried hard to move them; they were totally frozen inside of the waist when I got him in the mail. Thankfully, I managed to exchange him for a good copy. First time I've ever had an issue like this.

I had a similar thing on Wheeljack, one leg was glued to the crotch. I was able to work it free. Someone is getting a bit too messy with the crotch glue on that mold.
