animated shockwave?

anyone with a animated shockwave does you shockwave's have a loose head in shockwave mode and the tabs that fit the arms in tank/crane mode don't hold together, how can get the head to be less loose and tabs fit into the heads?

Re: animated shockwave?

Actaully, the WHOLE entire animated line has a tendency to be lose in one place or another. My Soundwave's right foot is THEE weakest joint ever. My Prowl's legs will fall off at least 4-5 times before transforming it from bike to robot. I can complain about all my animated figures but I won't.

The funny thing is, everyone's animated figures are loose in one area, but isn't consistent with the next person's figure.

Your best solution is to use clear nail polish on the peg or joint which allows it to have more mass and friction to become tighter. If you don't have that use glue, but that one tends to lossen up in time.

For the tabs, just try pushing a little harder.

Re: animated shockwave?

My Shockwave's head and right hand are/were loose. Was able to solve the hand with clear nail polish, the head though I'm not sure how to tackle.

Re: animated shockwave?

My Shockwave at first seemed like it had a loose head but I took a closer look at it and it just wasn't snapped into place all the way. After I snapped it into place it was fine.

Re: animated shockwave?

Did you fold the arms back into the correct spot? I know if you leave the one arm panel with Shockwave's two large fingers in the robot mode spot, when you put him back into alt mode, the holes almost line up with the tabs, but they won't stay in. A lot of people do this.

My head is a little loose in Shockwave mode. Is it where the neck attaches to the body? If so try pushing the neck back in a tiny little bit and it should feel tighter.
