has anyone found a way, besides gluing them in, to get his guns to stay secured to his forearms? mine works fine for displaying but my neice loves to play with hers and loves bumblebee so any help/advice would make her day.

ps. however came up with the fix for his head made a nice call.

If I recall, they are squares, basically holding in a different shape. They fall out because they dont fit. Maybe you can fill in the hole somehow?
thats what she said!

They seem to fit just fine on mine, despite the round peg in a square hole conundrum. Sometimes they don't fit in so easy (not really hard though either) when trying to attach them, but once they're in, they're as in as any other TF weapon.

He can also hold them in his hands, maybe that could work better for your niece? Or is she a stickler for "they're on his arms on the show, they need to be on his toy, too!"?

its funny she is insane about details. she has "corrected" as she calls it a lot of my collections transformations.

I've filled the holes with wire which works okay. was just wondering if anyone had a better and less pointy method.

I don't own rid bumblebee personally but maybe you could just use a little Blu-Tack to hold them in place?

Or maybe some Play Doh? Put some in the squares, push in the weapons, remove weapons, clear away any excess squirting out from the slots, let it dry?

I'm sure there's some clay or modeling compound or something that'd be better for the job than Play Doh, but Play Doh's probably a lot easier to find.

Superglue left to dry on the peg for half an our before reinserting them in the holes?

Clear nail polish on the pegs, then insert them, wiggle them about and finished.
