Every Lightning Collection figure is a clear case of Hasbro cheaping out on paint

This is probably the best figure in the line and doesn't suffer as much from their very clear skimping on paint to save money as something like, say, Goldar, or especially King Sphinx

The wheel is too big but that is otherwise legit.

I don't know how you would connect magnets to use them like that.

This figure seems to have a serious break problem due to implementation of its waist joint. Not sure what is a good fix.

Well I don't have hot glue and bought some tape to try. I tried pushing it back in there and I can, but putting the joint back in the socket requires WAY more effort than it takes to pop it out. Then I hit it a lot and it seems to be staying in better. Maybe revisit hot glue to keep it in the joint later. Right now I think I can pose and display it well enough.

 I don't want to glue it and affix it permanently. Using some sort of tape didn't even occur to me. I'll see if there is something I can do there.

Road Racin' Mike. It apparently had a motorbike.

I hear a blow dryer can work on that sort of thing.

This is a great figure except for a couple minor problems. It looks nice and has surprisingly acceptable articulation for both a Select and a figure of this size but it's clear that select has been improving their articulation over the years. The two minor headaches are the head is set way too recessed. There is a reviewer that talks about fixing it and I may try it. Also, the fingers were clearly designed to be individually articulated - that is even the picture of the figure on the back of the box but I guess some time between final draft and final release, they just stuck the hands in the poses you see and dropped the articulation.

My "collection" was much larger when I was a child. My TMNT stuff by itself was impressive. Of course, calling it a collection is disingenuous because I wasn't so much collecting stuff as getting more toys to play with.

It looks like the only thing valuable is look at the most recent forum posts. Luckily it doesn't move that fast. The individual forums have no date stamps and no apparent ordering.

 Working now. Wasn't like 2 hours ago.

Figure search doesn't work. It keeps saying I need to be logged in. I think you missed a check somewhere. Of course, why I would need to be logged in at all..

It's definitely a legends because that is crazy jointing. I'm betting Marvel Legends Sinister Six. That's the same jointing, weird musculature, and 'dirty' coloration.
