Series 5 Police Officer
« on: May 22, 2014, 22:52:49 »
I feel completely dumb because I can't seem to fit the officer's gun holster into his torso. I managed to get three of these and they all just fall off as I assemble the figure. Is there a special trick?  :-[

Are u referring to those snap on holsters? Those can only be fixed into his hips if u use internal skeletons with a recess for the clip

REALLY? :o :o

I never noticed that! And I've had some difficulties with them, but nothing that eventually didn't work out!

Are there pics, master cheng?

I was not aware of this either. I will have to pay more attention to it in future.

I noticed the skeleton has the little notch but I've tried everything and no luck so far. Do I need to hold the holster in place while snapping the figure together? I'm not sure exactly what direction to insert the holster. I spent 30 minutes before giving up.  ???

plug in the holster, then push/slide it down until it catches onto the outer hip....then only slip the outer torso/hip over the white skeleton which has an indentation to accomodate the protruding(inside) 'plug',
if it only comes off during this last assembly, it meansthe skeleton is not right and is pushing up(&out) on the holster plug

This has been been enlightening! I too never managed to get the holster to stay in place, it always just kind of balanced there, and inevitably was knocked off. Thank you for the info!  :)

Again, sorry for the delay... and my lack of photo skills..

But I think it can be seen (I can't believe I never noticed this before!  :-[ )




The two middle ones do have the "notch".

I still can't figure it out....but I also can't seem to take figures apart either so I'm just going to call it quits.  :-[
