Re: Transformers Workshop (Maintenance & Repair)

Wasn't sure if this was the right place, but I have a couple figures with quirks:

Siege Jetfire's front landing gear is very hard to unfold - I have attempted to loosen its screw and that makes the whole thing too loose. Any other ideas?


My SS86 Swoop'a right knee does not ratchet like the like even though it appears to be a solid friction joint. His right hand is also very hard to unfold. Any advice on fixing these two things?

Thanks in advance!

For Jetfire's landing gear and Swoops hand, I would try moving them through their full range of motion 10-20 times in a row and see if that helps. Carefully of course and making sure not to push them beyond where they are supposed to go.

Also, I have to laugh (and cry) about memory and getting older. I saw this thread come up with a new post and thought, wow a thread I haven't seen before. Then I clicked back one page and then saw I made the 4th post on that page 7 years ago. *sigh*

Time flies as they say. Thanks for the recommendation! That was my first idea actually. Didn't fix the issues, but I appreciate the response!
