G1 Blaster?

[blackoptimus]

Hey guys, I had a question on G1 blaster, was the tape door issue a manufacture issue or a common ware issue due from kids. How come this issue never appear in the collection reissue?

id say wear and tear as its fixable

that is also on my to do list

It's wear an tear but its actually dead easy to fix. All you need to do is open him up and fix the hinge mechanism-sometimes it just needs readjusting.

When you are ready:

1. Open him up - Remove all screws from his back and his chest should split in half like a Pretender Shell.



Note: open him up with Blaster flat on his belly so that the components don't fall off. Be careful of the springs as they may shoot off.

Second Note: The pin spring on the back lid is just there to push the door open - Ignore it as it falls in place when you close blaster. Just make sure it doesn't fall off or bend but it should be well secured

2. This is the door hinge mechanism - It's a simple spring pushed hinge. Most likely that over time or due to a drop it has become misaligned. Put it back in place as shown and that's it.

Note: There is a second spring under the door opener (Door opener is pushed up to open lid by the sliding blue hinge).

Never had a reissue but my childhood one (that I sold) never did it but I had to do that exact fix to my current one when he arrived. My first one was an earlier version of mold, maybe it was a little different inside too. I really have no idea...
