G1 Warpath reissue issue

[Zenith27]

Anyone else have their G1 Warpath reissue bubble come off the card?

I bought 2 at the same time and both have popped right off. Gears seems fine.

The glue that Hasbro is using on carded figures these days is quite poor. Tends to give out after a while. That is why you'll see a lot of their offerings be taped to the card as well. Pre-tape, a lot of mainline TFs also suffer from the same problem circa 10-15 years ago.

Yep this a problem across almost all of Hasbro's lines. It really isn't noticable unless the toy is glued to a card, which seems to be the minority nowadays.

At least, if the bubble pops off, the card is cleaner than if you rip it off and rip the paper.
I've never been a MISB collector, but the odd backer card is fun to hang on to.

I've got all the mini-bot reissues hanging on the wall so I really hope this doesn't happen to me

Hasn't happened on my Warpath. Happened on my Gears figure though. Going to try and use crazy glue to put it back on.

I wouldn't recommend using crazy glue, when it cures it can create fumes that can fog clear plastic. I'd suggest using a glue stick applied to the bubble to reattach it

Ok thanks, I'll try that instead.
