I received the very disappointing VCF-2037ABC set yesterday. As these are my first verycool figures, I have to ask you more experienced folks a few questions.
I noobly, naively and foolishly assumed that they could stand on their own feet, but alas. (Actually, they can if you manage to precariously balance them perfectly vertically at attention, then don't walk heavily nearby or allow any air to circulate.)
The problem is in the 'ankle bone' between the boot and leg. Brand new out of the box it's ridiculously loose. Since both figs are this way, I assume it's standard for these bodies? Or did I score a pair of defective ones?
I think I'm going to just strap the boots to the leg with a mummy wrap of electrical tape, or maybe make a clay splint or maybe quit this incredibly frustrating hobby... still deciding. So far, the score is Frustration 28, Fun 3.
Anyone have any advice for ankle reinforcement? Is it only TBL, JIAOU and HT that can stand on their own? The Alert Line figure I got a few weeks ago can't stand unaided either. Is there a list somewhere of which manufacturers bodies require stands regardless of footware selection? Thanks in advance!
