So I finally got BW Razorbeast. But I think there may be a problem with the spring in him. When I release the tail (in beast mode) his sides separate and his beast head only comes down enough that it still is covering the robot head. So I have to push his beast had down so everything will go into place. I thought on these kinds of figs everything was just supposed to flip down into place automatically...help? Is this happening to anyone else?

Mine occasionally does that, always has. I think it's just something catching very slightly. Never worried about it enough to dissect the thing and pinpoint the problem.

I looked mine over carefully, and there is absolutely nothing getting in its way.

?

Mine does that to,
and if I remember correctly my Ratrap does it on occasion.

As does my Armourdillo.

What a crappy name I always changed it to Armordillas as a kid... yea not very inventive, I know, but it's better than Armourdillo.
Sorry, off topic there.

Yeah, but it happens to mine all the time.

Should I get another?

Its the piece of plastic (For me, left side.) where the joint of the arm attaches to the body. Kinda a square shape? The head coming down is catching on that. It happens because the head's automorph snaps down faster than the arms can fold out.

At least, that's whats happening to mine.

That's perfectly normal, nothing to get your knickers in a knot over. That happens on some of the springformers, including Rattrap and Armordillo.
