Fix The Fallen's Legs

Leader Prime, Human Alliance BB and maybe other HA figs. Thats all I'm getting and everytime I see that Jin or anyone else has to devise a "fix" for them, I know I'm making the right choice.

This is just horrible.

Thanks for the Rampage tips Jin! Incredible! You really do your homework! Can you come up with a way to get Sideswipe to stand with his heelspurs folded in versus out? That may be a tall order.... No biggie if you can't--he's SOOOO much easier to pose with them pointed out to the back.

Would you believe it, I actually bought Breakaway just to try out your head-posing guide. And yeah, he's a good figure and not so bad as I initially thought he would be once his head becomes poseable. Sideswipe, he seems to hold perfectly fine without gluing in a tab, and I don't think I would want to try out drilling holes in my Fallen. I'm perfectly fine with Falen's limbs popping off (my copy hold together quite firmly anyway), but wouldn't just applying superglue to parts of these joint posts do a decent job in tightening them as well? Will be supergluing parts of Rampage later (shovel keeps disconnecting from connection point and unlike Fallen it gets rather irritating).

Thanks for the tips!

Some Sideswipes have really loose chests no matter what you do so that fix applies only to them. The two I have were all loose. However the fallen's plugs are made of unpaintable plastic so superglue won't apply there.

Here's a fix, well more like a custom mod to make Rampage's elbows work. Hasbro had the right idea with the large gear there, they just didn't separate the lower elbow. That's really all you need to do and shave down the inside rim of the gear. You'll need a dremel, hobby knife, hobby hacksaw (or heat up your knife blade so it can slice through plastic) and some glue/epoxy. Oh yeah, and a screwdriver.

Hmmm, when I pick him up in the next few days I'll have a look.

And here's some shots of Rampage singing opera with his new elbows.

Jin, you made my day by posting that mod on Rampage.

It'll be the biggest mod I've ever attempted, but your instructions looked detailed enough even for me.

A million thanks.
