Has anyone had any problems with their 20th/MasterPiece Primes leg coming off. I was transforming him last night to take a picture with the other Primes in my collection and his leg fell off! I was able to pop it back in place after a while, but it really concerned me. Now i am nevous to take him off of display. The left leg came off where the thigh meets the hip. Damn, i like die castbut those freaking legs are too heavy for the plastic thigh pieces. Anyone have similar problems with this?

never with the legs,...but the feet and that "red back pack" piece tend to seperate in bot the U.S. and japanese releases.

Hmmm...that part should notbe able to come off, PuertoRiCON. On mine, it's solidly in place.

If it comes off again, send me a pic of it. I think i can help you from there. it might be a fault in the molding of the plastic for the pelvis, but without seeing the area sans the leg, it's difficult to effect repairs.

i was able to pop it back in place. i am just worried about the plastic breaking because of the weight of the die cast and wondered if this was something that other people experienced?

nope, never had that, popped the head, foot and back panel off before but never a leg, that doesnt sound right to me

Happed to me once but it only happens if you put too much pressure on the leg while bending it in a certian direction. The feet come off all the time but if I'm careful the backpack doesn't cause too much of a problem.

Never had anyhtign come off my Prime except the red "backpack". My friend's Prime's feet always jsut fall off, but mine hasn't yet. Doesn't sound too good to me.

the clicky parts of the knee broke in mine... so the like the legs were woobly. lucky i found another one and exchanged it.

My prime leg problem is worse. He's taken a few spills off a high shelf. The last time I went to pose him I noticed his knee joint was completely loose and wasn't clicking. I unscrewed his thigh to see what the problem was and I see he has a stress crack on the top of the knee joint and it is practically unrepairable. Talk about a sad day

I think you need to stop displaying him in that "karate kick" pose.

On mine it poped off the first time I transformed it from truck to robot. Thankfully it never happened again.

I remember 1 guy didn't know to squeeze the "tanks" on the side of his legs to extend them, and was forcing them up and down every time.

Have you been doing the same, PuertoRICON? That would surely weaken the legs.

dont be making fun of me

but seriousley, how exactly does the tank thing work. i mean, i think i did right by pressing them to the sides and letting it slide out. or something

when i pulled my 20th prime out of the box both feet werent connected... so i simply popped them on and tada! all fixed!

edit: feet werent connected to ankle joint


u mean this topic:

I once popped one of his feet of by accident, but that's it.

Another scary tale of breaking parts of MP/20th Prime.

Same here, seems like most people have had this happen once or twice....but since it just pops right back on it's no big deal.

i know about the tanks one the side of the legs when i first got him last year, i was just twisting his waist around whe his leg popped off. i have since fixed the problem, it doesn't seem to be popping off anymore.

Yeah that happened to me once and I COULDN'T pop mine back on so I took it back to the story and got another one.

Great toy! Lousy construction!
