wst shockwave Fist issue

Hi
Was wondering if anyone purchase a WST Shockwave and attempted to fit his gun mode into the included Bruticus's Fist?

Shockwave's FEET are sticking out slightly, which is preventing me from sliding his gun mode into the fist.

plus the ball joint for his arms are very loose, despite buying him Brand new.

anyone encounting same problem as myself?

huh... I haven't even opened mine yet but when I do I'll be sure to let you know.
You could add a small drop of clear nail polish to the ball joint... this should make it a bit tighter.

Re: wst shockwave Fist issue

I had that problem with my WST Shockwave as well. I tightened up the joints with a drop of superglue.

I had another problem though. His head split in half at the seam when I tried to move his ears. I had to glue that shut.

I haven't tried to fit him into the Bruticus fist yet because I unfortunately don't have a Bruticus to put that fist into.

Re: wst shockwave Fist issue

When you pull the figure out of the package the feet are not in the position needed to fit into the hand. They need to be rotated just a little more slightly to fit. I have now seen this on several of them but after some fiddling they fit into the fist just fine.

As for the ball joints, many of them that I have seen are loose ball joints. Superglue or Nail Polish are your best bet.

Re: wst shockwave Fist issue

I have 2 WST Shockwave and one of the Greywave Exclusive and they all have the same issue.

One of them also has HELLA LOOSE joints.
