Turns out my waggle the sword out theory is rubbish. I remember now that the original toy had FX that were activated when you waggled the sword, so its designed to move like this:


I have been playing with mine and its a bit hard, but the only way to get that sucker out is to gold the tank in one hand, the sword in the other and pull that sucker out!!

the side clips are designed to give a little and damage is extremely unlikely.

I'd do more pics, but it is 1 am and I made enough noise getting Megs out, so dont wanna start a model shoot or else I'll never get to bed
