I'm working on that, but I'm not hopeful. Ultimately the "worst" joints are:
- toes of the right foot (of all things)
- bottom two dorsal tubes
- head
It baffles me that the dome is removable at all. Like, what's the point?
This goes for all Alien figures, not just the Mafex one.
I just got this figure and the joints on mine are incredibly loose. Like, "ball joints just pop apart with no effort" loose. I can't get the domes to sit tightly on either of the heads, and all around it feels like I'm handling a knockoff figure.
I fixed it! I used a hairdryer to soften the polystone/resin and gradually moved the foot into place, got the pegs to slot in where they needed to be, and everything is stable. Thank you guys for the help!
Thanks for the suggestions! I've been leaning towards slowly drilling out a new hole with a dremel, but I'm not committed to that yet.
If I were to remove the metal pin, how would I even go about doing that? I mean, it's not exactly a small pin. I can take some more pics if it would help...
So I've got a problem. I bought the Sideshow Premium Format Poison Ivy from Sideshow's website back in 2013 when I was very irresponsible with my money, knowing that I wouldn't have the space to display it but figuring I would buy it and display it later when I had room. Like an idiot, I didn't...
They actually retooled it and re-released it as part of the Terminator Salvation toys as the "Cyber Skin Generator", too.
