Springs in figures.

[kup]

I would say leave them relaxed as well because for some funny reason my Sky Shadow keeps shooting out his missile itself all of a sudden one day and I'm guessing because the spring has been coiled too long and it's just "dying" to uncoil. So I can't put the missile back anymore because a minute later, the missile will just shoot out by itself. The first few times it happened I thought my TFs had come alive and were fighting each other.

P.S: The Activators look better in robot mode anyway.

My Tarantulas does that. He could be there for days or weeks and suddenly BANG! the missile fires and scares the crap out of me.

I have had to replace the spring of several of my G1 figures and added springs to figures which springs were removed for safety reasons. The best springs you can use are those from those multi color pens. I buy them from the reject shop, remove the springs and cut them to the appropriate size if necessary.
