Help with Anakin!

Vonhahn · Jun 7, 2006

I just got my 12" Anakin, but his arm was disconnected in the box. I'm not too worried as it looks like thats how you swap out his arms, however I can't figure out how to attach his arm. I can't just slide it up the sleeve as there is too much material from his shirt in the way and I cannot figure out how to take off his belt to "undress" him and fix it. Any help?

You can take the belt from the back....In the center near the small of his back is were it disconnects..

Mine came the same way. I just pushed the material up and up and rolled it back until I saw the expose socket and reattached it.

Yeah, just roll up his sleeve. I had the same problem. It's a tight fit underneath the cloth, but possible.

That happened to me as well. I now have the inner shirt rolled up and rubber banded just above the hole... so it will always be exposed to re-insert the arm, if it is to fall off again.

Forget what everyone is telling you in this thread, your Anakin is broke. I'll paypal you $5 for your broken toy and take him off your hands.

Wor-Gar · Jun 7, 2006

He's broken. Send him back.

FlyAndFight · Jun 7, 2006

Mine arrived with the detached arm as well.

But I was able to simply slide the arm back up the sleeve and snap it into place. It's stayed attached fine since then.

I dont understand. Is the arm peg busted or what? What exactly is it doing?

It's meant to be removable to accomodate the alternate robotic hand, but it comes off too easily. I'm not sure why the screw-up. Black Knight had four removable limbs and non of them fell of as frequently as this...

No, no, no... this is the very rare, exclusive exclusive MONKEY ARM... limited to just 3.

I thought Anakin's arm's were too long - guess I shouldn't have used the plural. At least they fixed one arm.........

I couldnt slide it back up and attach becase the material for the undershirt kept getting in the way. I was able to undress im after i found out to undo his belt (thanks guys) and I got it on.

Alice Adrenochrome · Jun 12, 2006

Hmmm. That's pretty stupid, if Anakin's arm comes of during transport. I don't open the packages and can't adjust it. Pretty odd...
Anyhow, does Anakin also have monkey arms, like Luke? I figure SSC used the same body, didn't they?

Darklord Dave · Jun 12, 2006

Luke is shorter than Anakin but they use the same arms. So the normal sized arms are normal looking on the normal sized Anakin as opposed to being a tad long on the shorter Luke body.

Buttmunch · Jun 12, 2006

Thats how mine came too. I just rolled up his sleeve and reconnected it after I opened him. Hasn't fallen off sense.
