    I remember leaving you a comment about these legs and that you’d look into it. I had no idea about the shoulder and bicep issue though, thanks for showing how to fix that. I already sanded the hips so I guess I’ll do the shoulders soon.

    This looks so good, thank you for doing this! I'm glad Hasbro did a new base for this Tom Holland, I'm not really a fan of the buff body they did for the Homecoming and Civil War Spider-Man, even the FFH. I hope someone makes a FFH and Homecoming custom using the Final Swing base, maybe you?

    This is fantastic, many many thanks. I did trim away inside the neck joint , to give it more head down and head up. Andrew Garfield was the worst !. I had to carve quite a bit inside the masked head to be able to get it on comfortably. I shall do the mods here for Tom. You're a star for bringing this to us 😎

    I have this figure. It is true that it handles a bit stiffly, but honestly, I feel these mods are just on preference. They're not necessary. So long as you don't handle the figure like a complete CHIMP it won't break

    • @CraftyGecko
      @CraftyGecko  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I originally thought the same, but if you look at the TH-cam short I uploaded recently you can see the problem. That was after heating it up and working the joints too. The issue with the recent figures is the quality control, just because yours was fine it doesn't mean everyone else's is

    I've never had to take a figure apart before to make fixes. I was about to open up the packaging and test out the posing, but found out there were issues by random chance, and am a little anxious now. Especially after seeing people uploading photos of broken arms and legs 😬. I was wondering. How hot does the water need to be in order to make the process easier, and how long should the figure be kept in hot water before taking it out? Also, is there a time frame to move fast or can the plastic harden back up, and forcing someone to put it back in water during the edging or smoothing out of the pegs process? Sorry for the long message.

    • @CraftyGecko
      @CraftyGecko  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I use boiling water, 30 seconds sit time out of the kettle. I've never had a problem leaving it in for too long but apparently you shouldn't leave it in longer than 30 seconds. As far as moving the joints goes, there's no set speed or consistency, you just have to go with your gut unfortunately and see how it feels

    Thank you so much for this. Im currently on my THIRD final swing spidey because of these shitty joints. First one i only did hot water method and the hip broke which was whatever my own dumbass fault. The 2nd time tho i actually used shock oil but the hip still broke. This 3rd one has been stuck inna neutral standing pose because i have been TERRIFIED to do anything and its such a great looking figure i just can not afford buying a 4th one all because hasbro has shitty quality control.

    I should have seen this video before messing around with my holland Spider-Man from the final swing scene. Moving his right leg forward immediately twisted off the hip joint. And even though I attempted to fix it with a metal peg in between the two where it had broken off it had ended up eventually wearing away the soft plastic anyways. Now I'm left with a broken Tom Holland figure out of the other two from this movie and that really disappoints me. Leave it to Hasbro to make shitty quality figures and skip around QC checking to where the consumer has to fix their problems for them.

I'm as devastated as someone could be over a broken action figure lol so please someone help. The ball joint is also stuck in the leg too which adds another layer of complexity, and an extra middle finger "f**k you" from the action figure gods. Please help anyone
