    Type S legs

    I've seen comments about the legs being uneven. I've found that this is simply a matter of the calf peg not being pushed all the way up into the thigh. You may need to push quite hard to get it in there or even apply a little heat. When everything is put together right, nothing should be uneven.

    What! You mean those wonderful, diligent Chinese workers may have not pushed them in all them way? This is an outrage!... Ok so sarcasm aside, Mahseer is right...that last little snap of the knee joint is sometimes not all the way accomplished(even though it looks like it is). I have run into this on the Henshin figures. A little heat will make it easier, hair dryer 25-30 secs and voila...

      I'd recommend someone either do a video or put some pics up, just to kill this issue.

          Since you've been so adamant about this I tried again, and I got them to be much more even than they had been.

            And for me, it wasn't the calf, but the hip connections. All the right legs on mine weren't pushed all the way in.
