Solar Storm Grappel Question
I finally got this guy the other day; he seems very loose and unstable compared to Inferno (although I'm basing this on memory since Inferno's packed away somewhere). Is this common or did I get a bum one? Just curious.

I don't know about the Hasbro version, but my Takara version is just fine. Just as sturdy as Inferno, really.

Both my Henkei Inferno and RtS Grapple have joints that could be a bit tighter in places, but they're not floppy by any means. It's mostly the shoulders and hips, and they can be tightened with a Philips screwdriver.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one

Got an RTS Grappel, and he was pretty loose. Take the advice of other board members and just tighten up the screws. Hopefully that will solve the issue, but know that you were not alone.

Re: Solar Storm Grappel Question
My S.S. Grapple has loose joints. But for $10 (I got it at Ross!) I'm not complaining. Also, he looks awesome with his Reprolabels!

Mine (RTS version) works fine (besides some loose joints but they can be fixed easily) until I started working on him. The arm panels are especially fragile. He is now not Grapple or Grappel anymore.

My RTS Grappel is also fairly loose. But like someone else said, for $10, I can deal with it. Thanks TJ MAXX!
