Polarboy Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Because I'm an idiot who loves paying over the odds for older figures I just got angel. Anyway if you look at him the wrong way his wings fall off. Were they all like this or did I get a dud? If this was common place I'm sure people found a solution, has anybody tried making the holes deeper? or is superlue the salvation here?

Turtle Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Which Angel did you get? I think it was the Champions Angel that just had very shallow holes in the wings. Later releases of Angel included a lip around the hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 It was the red and white one. I think it was from a box set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 It was the red and white one. I think it was from a box set. With yellow gloves? That's the Champions one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karamazov80 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think for quoting Mister Mister, you deserve a cookie! One of the stranger popular 80s pop songs, because of its "half of the flesh and blood that makes me whole" line. Sounds like something Pinhead would come up with.

Rheul Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I think for quoting Mister Mister, you deserve a ban! I agree... But I cant stand by and see someone suffer with a wingless Angel. What I did was hold the wing hole over the steam of a whistling kettle until it got nice and soft. The peg popped right in and has held nicely ever since. I used this operation on Champions, X-Factor, and FA Angel... Works like a charm. Just dont burn yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MINI_MYTE Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Rheul's technique is a sure fire method to fix those pesky wings. Then hopefully your Angel minimate will learn to fly again and learn to live so free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I didn't have any issues with Angel's wings, but his feet gave me all sorts of problems. They just didn't have any rhythm. I fear he's never going to dance again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Thanks I will try the heat thing. As for mister mister I have no idea who that is. I thought it was a mike and the mechanics song Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthRaider Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Yup, that sounds like Champions Angel all right. And yes, later Angel 'mates were better at the "keeping wings in place" bit. (It helps that they had actual fully-formed hollows to plug the back pegs into rather than the plain hole.) Superglue is fine if you're the lazy type who doesn't mind losing some of the wing articulation(? I don't know if swiveling in place counts as actual "articulation"). I'm sure some enterprising 'versers out there have tried making them deeper with a drill or a dremel, though that's not exactly my area of expertise. And peg this to me being more of a Generation Y kind of kid I guess, but I didn't even know what a "Mister Mister" was until a certain pop song review on a certain geeky website... I'll call myself "lucky" on that bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
