Troubleshooting

Pieces do not fit together correctly.

Ensure you are using the correct pieces for the step indicated in the instruction manual. Check for any excess plastic (flash) on the connection points and carefully trim if necessary. Do not force pieces together.

Joints are too loose or too stiff.

For loose joints, you can sometimes add a tiny amount of model cement or super glue to the joint surface (use sparingly and test first). For stiff joints, gently flex the part back and forth to loosen it. Avoid excessive force.

Magnetic light effect is not working.

Ensure the batteries are correctly installed in the magnetic faction logo. Verify that the magnetic control is properly aligned with the light assembly on the figure's head. Check for any obstructions.

Accessory does not attach firmly.

Confirm you are using the correct port or hand piece designed for the accessory. Sometimes, slight bending or adjustment of the accessory's peg might be needed, but do so carefully.
