just recently got the prime robot heroes that come with the dvd.... but his right are is stcuk to his body that i cant turn it.... i tried to turn it with force thinking maybe that the plastic just stuck together because of sitting so long in the package. but it wasnt budging at it came to the point were i was twisting the plastic peg that holds the arm to the chest. if i continued more i wouldve twisted the arm off of prime . so does anyone know any techniques on how to loosen stuck joints?

With Robot Heroes you have two choices:

1) Freeze-um. I had exactly the same problem with G1 'Scream, I stuck 'im in the freezer for about a half hour and it worked like a charm.

2) Heat-um. I havent tried this with Robot Heroes, but I did it all the time with Marvel Legends. Just wave a hairdryer over the troublesome joint for a minute or two and gently move the arm back and forth till it gives.

Hope that helps.

ah, thanks. i'll try it out tomorrow.... the joint on my prime is beginning to become all white becuse of the stress marks of when i was trying to turn the arm when in fact i was twisting it .... i hope he'll be alright, him being an exclusive and all i dont want to have to by another dvd just for him.
