I...don't recognize that piece off the topof my head, but I think it might be the hinge that Dark Wing pivots on while attached to Knight. And yeah, sadly that looks broken.

Actually I think that's the part that holds the different attachments to the Dark Wing, like the cape and legs, etc.

Just got my shock oil... Wow. Just wow. Climax Form's hip stopped squeeking almost immediately. I think I might've used a tiny bit too much since it's now loser than his right hip (which slightly squeeks... maybe I should oil that up...), but it's still plenty tight.

If any of you are familiar with them, do you think this stuff would help loosen up ball and socket joints for BIONICLE sets? A lot of them in the final years were way, way too tight and caused massive breakages.

Yeah... it looks broken, but it doesn't seem to fit in any way I try to slide it back. Can anyone take a picture of theirs?

Yeah, I think it would work with bionicle

How exactly can someone tighten the die-cast ankles on a figuart? My Decade's right ankle is pretty loose.

Ok, so I took out my Knight from the Detolf and was about to take some pictures for you when, wouldn't you know it, that same piece fell out for me as well, but I was able to figure out a way to fix it, albeit making one mistake, but at least you won't have to

My first attempt to reinsert the piece failed, so my second thought was what if I unscrewed the two halves, and then put the piece back and then reassemble? Bad idea, as the jewel on the Dark Wing does not come off, at least not with all the efforts that I've tried, I just ended up with a scratched up jewel

Anyway, here is the fix:

Have the piece face up like a U, and the nub (in the bottom middle) side down, you'll see a little hole in the back part of the Dark Wing body (you'll need a tweezer, thin one preferably), angle the nub into the hole first, and then, use the arm of the tweezer, apply force equally so that both sides slide into place, and done.

You sir, are a saint and saved me the hassle of getting it replaced. Sorry that you ruined yours on my behalf... but knowing that it's a common problem is enlightening. FOR SCIENCE!

It's no problem, not like I'd ever sell this fine figure anyway, I did change to the articulating wing rather than the spreading cape, I think the cape version might've been too heavy

I was whining Friday on one of these many Toku forums that my orders from Mandarake aren't going to be here for a long time, and that very day, the TRU Souchaku Henshin Den-O 5 Form set arrived.

And it's pretty fun. The only problem with it is I can only display one form at a time. But I love being able to swap the forms. Oh, and the rod is one of the most rubbery accessories I own, it's FAR too bendy.

My picture of the box turned out horrible, so here's the one from Mandarake.


And to try out my phone's camera, Sword Form.


Yeah, the iPhone pic didn't turn out that great.
