A problem with Mothra's Wings

Postby sachiel » Wed Oct 01, 2008 3:04 am

The 2003 release of Bandai's 8 inch standard Mothra Adult was really something to behold. I really really like this figure for its great sculpt and accurate paintjob. However, as with all toy figures, there are occasional flaws that pop up due to mass production issues or wear over time.

Thanks to Giganzilla, I was able to purchase my own Mothra Adult 2004 back a few months ago. The figure is glorious. Everything is fine with the figure except for one thing.

Loose wings. The left wing is fixed to the body seamlessly. However the right wing is very loose and often falls out of its socket. As evidenced in the photos below. Is there any way i can correc this issue with loose wings?



Here is Exhibit A:
