Danger WILL ROBINSON! Danger!!

Heya. Just wanted to give a heads up to you guys who have not yet gotten your wv 11 & 12 figures. Be very careful with Zartan's elbows. Mine broke right out of the package, and I also had problems with Ripper and the Python CG.

The CG problem was caused by extra plastic in the joint, but the Ripper and Zartan elbows were very well stuck in place and would not fold up. A quick fix for this (instead of forcing it) is to dip the arms in hot water so the the flexible plastic will give a bit and allow them to rotate properly.

Hope no-one else breaks theirs like I did.

Mine seem ok, but I'll be careful with them. Thanks for the heads up.

Wish I had seen this earlier. Broke mine 5 minutes after I got home.

If you have an extra figure of the Crimson Twins, their elbow pin is the same size, and almost the same color.

I broke a Snow Serpent that way. I am very careful now when trying to flex the arms.

I broke one of mine, as well.

Welcome to Toyark, by the way!

With humaniod figures, I usually try to flex every joint a figure has before I start posing, so I can usually catch the stiff ones, but I will be extra careful with these from now on.

(Already broke CC Bumblebee's arm off at the shoulder because I wasn't paying enough attention. Don't want to repeat that mistake again).
