Hasbro's finally decided to punish me for being anal-retentive.
I finally managed to find "Darkmount" today, and once I opened the package, I noticed that the tip of his tank-mode cannon was on lopsided. So I tried to turn it back into position...
Twisted the damn thing right off. ARGH.

Oh dayum. That sucks. I was surprised at how much I actually liked this figure. I thought the one-sided ankles would drive me nuts but the joints are pretty tight on mine. Sucks about that cannon tho...

Gotta say that does suck, I feel sorry for you.
I found mine the other night, and though nothing has broke on him, most of the ball joints for the accessories, i.e. the missile pack,smoke launcher, and MG, are incredibly loose, mainly the missile pack, the slightest touch knocks it off the ball.
I've found the side mounted ankles to be no problem at all, I remember everyone was worried about them but really it's just something were not used to seeing, it's really no different than if the joint was in the normal place.
Come to think of it, I don't think that, in the 5-6 years I've been buying and collecting Tf's, that I've ever had one break immediately out of the package...
