I refused to touch my spiderman figure (mainly cause i'm really digging this pose despite its flaws/defects) to risk the other shoulder breaking as well, so I took 2 shots from this pose and did the best I could in explaining the defects on my piece:
Hi guys,
I've just received my ASM HT yesterday. I'm really happy with him.
He was the last one in stock from my seller... And he had the "warning paper"... It's a little bit scarry but I'm still happy.
So, I just read a lot of pages from this thread, especially from "Guyver1" and others things about how to move correctly the shoulders of this little guy.
I can gently move his arms and make some poses, but I think I've the same problem described on the quote above. The shoulders
can't rotate anymore from a certain point. I feel a "stop limit" over a little 20° (maybe little less or more) and I know if I go upper, I'll break something.
I've tried the "wrench" method, but no success. I can't make the shoulders rotate to put the arm up, only backward and forward movement and some lateral stretching. I'm a little bit confused with all this terms, I hope I'm clear in my details.
It's a little bit frustrating. My shoulders still not broken cause I'm really carreful and gently with my figure but ... you know ... frustrating...
Again, I'm happy with it, just try to understand why some guys can move the shoulders even on the "olds ones" but not mine.
Cheers.
I just started my project anyway, cut the board shape out of thick balsa wood, sanded it round and smooth, now I'm going to steam the wood and shape the arches next
That's a good looking duo.
