Just waiting for Winston (likely next week), and then they can all aim for the flat top:
Took me about six hours today to assemble all three. I got them all as balls on accurate as I could as far as how each looked during the last encounter with Gozer, based on various screen shots. From the placement of the catheter hoses, to the position of the utility belt, to how the accessories on the utility belt are arranged. It wasn't as nerve wracking as I thought it would be. The first one I assembled was, but as soon as I figured out how to do it, the others were pretty simple. Yes, the parts are fragile, but they honestly don't feel like they will break unless you force them to do something they aren't able to do. The only parts on these figures that I think are fragile as ****, even if you make it do what it's supposed to do, are the small buckles for the cross belt of the packs.
Venkman's was fine, but still felt extremely fragile. The slot in the female insert on Spengler's was extremely thin and the inserts on the male connection weren't able to fit, so it required me having to take an exacto knife and trying to scrape some room for them to fit. I was only able to get one side wide enough to fit, so it resulted in me just breaking off one of the inserts on the male connection and just sliding it in using the remaining one. Still sits fine:
Ray's female buckle had absolutely no insert slot at all, so I had to take the exacto knife again and try and cut an entirely new slot. Was able to do so, but it resulted in breaking off a slight piece of the corner of the buckle. I ended up basically doing the same thing as I did with Spengler's (sans breaking one of the male inserts off) and just slid one male insert into the female connection. Seems to hold just fine as well:
Worst case scenario for either, I'd probably just cut a very thin little strip of electrical tape or something and just tape them together. As fragile as those buckles are, I'm just glad I was able to get them to connect together at least in some capacity and sit fine. I don't have either of them pulled taut, so there isn't any pressure on them.
Other than that, everything else about them is pretty much blemish free.
