Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.

I'm sure you know this but this is based on his G1 inner body and the skull design is his pretender shell.

What does his shell have to do with him being skilled at Metallikato? He would still be the same character and fight as best as he could. The pose here makes him look more like a brawler.
Besides, I'm not wearing my gi but I still know karate.

You do realize he lost that hand, or never had it in the first place, right?

The toy still has an obvious hand. And the Character can have a right hand.

Art always takes liberties with the figures. The original Rattrap figure's card art had his hand on fire. Compared to that, this isn't really a thing.

So happy to see that the Micron paint apps made it after all. I do wish they had the little transparent gem bits though. My only complaint.

Where do the stress marks happen on their hands?
Boiling water will get rid of your stress marks.

Looking at the figure's hands, on the outside of each hand are some indentations sculpted to denote all the joints of each finger. On each hand is an indentation that is formed by all four fingers lining up together before veering off in different directions. I've circled this indentation below in red. On the underside of this indentation, within the inside of each hand, is where the stress marks appear, which is also pointed out in red below.Seibertron wrote:Sabrblade wrote:After wielding his Microns in claw mode for a day or two, my Tarantulas already has stress marks on the insides of both of his hands.

Stress marks on the hands is a common problem. It'll stress but never break

The banzaitron I searched for months for, begs to disagree

I'm only talking about the Wreck Gar molds. Anything else I can't say one way or another.

Mine was holding (in each hand) the regular peg that one uses to have a figure wield the Micron in its claw mode.TF_JW wrote:I'm curious what the TFSS 3.0 figure was holding when his hands started to stress.
I haven't had any problems with the Minicons with mine. Nor the ax. But I have heard of instances where people have tried to put the wrong part of the ax in the hands and causing stress marks that way. Only that very bottom of the handle is meant to go in the hands, the rest of the handle is just slightly too wide.
Of course tolerances can vary throughout the production run, so I'm not saying that's what happened with yours. And if it was just a regular 5mm post that did it, I'd like to know. It's always worth taking note of a mold's issues for future reference.

Glad to be of help.TF_JW wrote:Hrmm. Okay, thanks!
I'm not sure there are any uses left in the mold, but this is definitely something worth considering if there are. Especially if said uses would have any additional accessories again.
