Awesome. Another brand new figure. ANOTHER QC issue. I'm having fun here Hasbro...
Anyone else experiencing similar issues with Zarana? Thankfully she's not broken as I can plug it back in, but at the same time...it doesn't take very much force for the arm to come off either.

If anyone is looking for a massive amount of 1/12 weaponry, you might want to check out Valaverse. They have a pack that includes 98 weapons, 48 interchangeable magazines and 30 muzzle flashes for $80.

I have heard some people talking about snapping the articulated joint in the crouch and I can say I almost snapped mine on Outback. I heated him up to get all his straps/gear off and posed him sitting. A couple days later I tried to change the pose and noticed the joint was white from the pressure I put on it...
I decided to heat him up again popped his legs off and used a dremel to sand down all the spikes and nubs on the ball and after putting him back together he is much better! Nothing is loose and now he actually poses when you try to move his legs! |

Just take the legs off and put a touch of shock oil on the balls. Problem fixed.

I pop the legs off and trim some (not all) of the nubs off the hip ball if they are too tight.

Finally had the chance to tackle the pile of Joes I've had to take pictures of.

^ Wonderful pics!
So over at Hisstank because of some leaks they seem to think the next Joe Haslab is gonna be a Classified Dragonfly... like geeze... that thing is gonna be huge. With all these Haslabs and box sets I think I want to start getting out of 6" Joes though. |

Besides, if you're going to remove the legs why not just use a method that's guaranteed to resolve the issue? |

Wrong. Usually the hips form a death grip on the spiked balls once they cool. Oil won't work the majority of the time once the hips cool. Even it it helps a bit it's just delaying the inevitable and the hip bar is still being stressed.

Take a gander at the condition of hip bars on figures that are particularly tight. If you pose them more than twice I bet you have a bad collection of stress marks. If I'm going to all the trouble of removing legs I'm taking an extra 20 seconds to correct a ridiculous structural problem so that there's no need to re-oil my figures. Ever.

Target has listed Jan 13 as the release date for TF Recondo and Bazooka, TF Duke and the RAM, and the PP Trooper. So I guess they are about to ship.

Apparently everything with be shipping on the 13th. I received the same notification for my D&D cartoon figures. Apparently it is time for my credit card to have a seizure.

Which ones? Because there's some that a dribbling of oil simply doesn't work on. Like Firefly. If he's got bad hips he'll break. I'm speaking from personal experience.

My preorder of TF Bazooka and Recondo have shipped. Hopefully from this point on there will not be anymore extremely long preorder periods (with the exception of HasLab items).

I ordered the Valaverse Weapons Pack Charlie, mainly for the blast effects, and it's great cause they add so much to the figures when they are just standing there. Just seems more dynamic. Hasbro needs to get on an official weapons pack for the classified line. But the guns are really nice. They feel like better plastic than the ones that come with the figures and they have paint apps, which make some of the details stand out. |

I got the TF Recondo and Bazooka in the mail today. Opened Recondo first. Hips seemed to be better like the Dusty/Zarana/Crimson Guard wave. But his ankles where extremely tight and I thought I was going to break them trying to move them. Also his rifle feels like it is made of a softer plastic than the one for TF Outback.

It was an expensive weekend! I did a simple part swap custom and now I have fully Catted out Outback and more traditional looking Duke! |
