Does anyone know if Power of the Primes Jazz i supposed to or is known for having loose shoulder hinges (near his tires and hood)
Im desperately wondering about it since it seems odd that he wont be able to make basic poses like spread arm T pose. :BANG_HEAD:

Most of the Deluxe PotP figure I have has that problem, but a little floor polish or clear nail polish on the ball joint will fix that right up.

Clear nail polish will still do the trick, you just have to work it into the join.

Be really careful with either suggestion. Clear plastic is far more rigid than opaque, thus has a smaller margin when it comes to breaking (compare with the difference between a frozen and a warmer soft chocolate bar), if the joint ends up too stiff the clear housing may crack upon moving it with excessive force.
The resident Rewind... well, half of one :lol:

- Jelze Bunnycat =:3

Looking for:
- TR Furos (Hardhead's head) and Crashbash (lost him :()
- PotP Punch head
- TR Galvatron right arm (the gun one)
- CW Brake-Neck/UW Wildrider, CW Offroad
- TR Twinferno & Grotusque
- Greenlight, Lancer and PotP Elita-1
- Legacy Core Slug, Sludge & Snarl

If you don't want your joints to move at all and basically turn your TF into a statue then yes, VERY compatible.

Don't use it. Just go with clear nail varnish, I've used it many times myself. Just little amounts at a time.

Yeah, super glue is never a good idea. A lot of them work by slightly melting plastic to bond with it, and even if you were to work it constantly until it fully dries there's the possibility that a hot, humid day will cause it to reactivate just enough to bond again. This is why polish (floor or nail) is best since it's made to be hard rather than bond. There's also the really old trick of working baby powder or starch into the joint to cause friction, but that one can be messy.

i did forget to mention that the shoulders worried me because the black weapon is heavy if used on his arms like this. otherwise he's fine. is this a known weight problem for deluxes?

For what it's worth, mine doesn't have that issue.

It could just be a problem with your individual figure. You might also consider returning it, and exchanging it for a new one. Though it could be I just got lucky, so there's no guarantee the next one you got wouldn't also have this issue. But still, it's an option...

First holding your phone upright when photographing. When you upload it into a computer open the picture in a basic image program like microsoft paint and save it as a new file and delete the original.

Thats how i solved the image issue.

The forum isn't all that great at figuring out picture orientation and just assumes a certain direction is correct even though the image file itself says to turn it 90 degrees.
