If I have him on a flat surface, his front tires are fine while the bottom back scrapes against the ground (those roundish pieces) and both tires won't touch.
If you're following me...am I transforming him wrong? Those parts kinda rotate, but they don't seem to really go anywhere. I checked the instructions, but I didn't see anything about it.
I just checked on my original and battle damaged and they both are very very close there. Looks like a design issue. Holding them up it looks like there's just enough clearance for the tires to roll freely, but when you set it down the play from the pin in the tires has the slack taken out and the underside hits. Not much you can do about it unless you want to file the "fake decoration tires" down some.
My Movie Jazz works fine. The rear wheels should be touching the ground, and rolling unhindered.
The roundish thing do have its intended positions. The instructions are not complete. Both in car mode and robot mode, the round thing should turn and lock into position. The lock is not too obvious. But if you check the inside surface of the roundish thing, you'll see that it's all flat, except for a small protrusion. This protrusion is the cog that locks into place when rotated sufficiently into position, both ways, for robot and car modes.
In robot mode, the round thing should be rotated towards the front (don't be shy to rotate it all the way), and the cog locks into a small protrusion (colored black) in the ankle. The protrusion is always hidden no matter how you turn the round thing. You'll have to peep thru it with the toes facing directly at you. Final position is to have the arrow shape pointing upwards. (longer leg of the arrow towards back of the robot leg, almost touching the rear wheel, shorter leg of the arrow faces forward.)
Note: In this "locked" position, you'll see that when you move or rotate the foot, the round thing always goes with it.
In car mode, the round thing should be rotated inwards (towards the center of the car). The cog locks into the protrusion (colored silver this time) just right behind the rear wheel. Final position is to have the arrow shape pointing approximately towards the rear of the car.
