Product Description
This product is a bracket that secures the grill section of Unique Toy's Challenger Figure (AOE/TLK Optimus Prime) to the rest of the foot; preventing it from flopping down while also adding to the overall stability of the figure (he can be put into forward-leaning poses without the toe tilt failing). The bracket works best when glued to the toe section of the figure (any glue should be strong enough). This is because of a bit of plastic flash that I had to design around. The fit may be a tiny bit loose depending on how much flash your copy of the figure has on each foot. You are still able to fully transform the figure with the brackets installed on both feet.
Edit: A slight tolerance issue has been reported by one buyer. It seems as though the tolerances of the chrome tabs on Challenger's grill sections vary just enough to make the connection to the brackets on select copies a bit loose. I am actively working on a newer design that solves this problem! In the meantime, for customers who have ordered the brackets or for new customers that want to buy them right away, I recommend checking how well the tabs clip into the brackets's slots after purchasing and before installing. If the connection is a bit loose on your copy, coating the sides of the slot with future floor wax, nail polish, of a drop of super glue and letting it dry before installing the parts should provide enough friction to increase the clutch power of the slot.
As soon as I update the parts, they will be available in my store and this description will be updated to reflect that.
