Sundown Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 (edited) Okay, so I finally got my Monster in the mail, and I'm both impressed and slightly annoyed at some aspects of its design-- the usual, weak pegs, holes in the arm that look like they could break easily, etc. I took apart the arm to loosen the screws that holds the arm missle hatches, because someone had suggested doing that to make it easier for the hatches to open. It worked on one arm, and I saw that part of one end of the hatch joint was glued down but not in a way that impeded movement, and when I started working on the other arm, it looked like the entire joint was slathered with glue, making it impossible for the joint to move and the hatch to open fully. I had thought that the second reissue's missile covers weren't glued down, but apparently, mine are. So, anyone know how you can whether the one you've got is a re-issue or whether it was the original run? And is there an easy way to remove the glue without damaging the plastic, or are they using the sort of glue that basically melts and fuses plastic together? I've also got a massive case of loose arm joints, and they won't even hold up by themselves. Is this relatively normal? -Al Edited November 25, 2005 by Sundown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
