    Could those tabs be sanded down without affecting the figure?

    I've heard about this on at least 2 different podcasts, it's very common unfortunately, I'm yet to open mine up, perhaps I should do that this weekend.

    Yes, both Bludgeon and Pyra-Magna look to have been wrongly assembled with their knees... but at least they can still stand, but some poses can have trouble balancing.

    I've cut, one peg so far, off my Pyra. Stands a bit taller and looks a bit better

    I looked in to reasssembling the legs on my Pyra Magna but it's a pretty hazardous operation and there is a pin that has a closed end. getting it out would require drilling into the plastic to then allow another pin to push the pin out of the leg.

    In the end I decided to leave it as it is. It's not overly frustrating and with the heel spurrs that have been added since Hotspot it is more stable anyway.
