Sounds about right sadly this does not fix things. I pray that Fan Toys at first did not try to swap the parts and found out this issue early on and decided to just leave with stock parts and still ship the toon arm/legs knowing this issue man i so hope not

Although I have stress marks on the figure, I still like it. I mean as everyone says, it won't blow you away, but it's still a great representation of perceptor. I kind of expected a little more from FansToys, but they can't all be perfect. I also got Sever today as well and THAT guy is something to be excited about.

You sure said it... Its a great figure I just love him fan toys nailed him he's spot on and the transformation is what you would expect like come on he's not a gun.

Omg sever is amazing I keep fighting with which bot to transform I have sever, Tesla and Apollon on my table and can't let them go lol

Is the red plastic on Tesla the same as the red plastic quality on Sever?

Yes I'd say so it really is nice looking just to bad the add on parts are not of the same quality,

I contacted Tony from chimungmung and he said he'd try to get replacement parts from fanstoys. He said that it might be hard because this isn't a kown QC issue and from the pictures, it makes it look like the customer screwed up and over tightened. Hopefully he gets the replacement parts so I don't have those lines.

What sucks is that if I don't tighten it enough, his joints become a floppy mess.

I know that if anyone that will swap these parts out will have the same issue.. i know that for a fact..... for the ones that dont report it dont seem to care much

Wondering if pre-drilling would help or are the holes already the right size?

Like i said earlier i did that i spent much love trying to be very careful and pre threaded but sadly its the plastic they used on these extra parts... they even seem cheaper plastic than the stock ones

The holes are what they should be but its just too soft of a plastic i think used
