Common HT Predator Leg Issue

[Rotfish]

You know I'm referring to the pegs, right? There's no visible changes anywhere, and like I said, they still fit in nice and tight. Can't even pop 'em back out now, so it's all about sanding only as much as you need, so that you still have to work to get it in, but not nearly as much. The tightness is still like new, though.
In the end, this is a very effective and easy way to fix stuff like this. Sure is better than keeling over trying to get those darn shins (and forearms ) in.

I'd much rather use a hair dryer than having to sand anything. Especially if you ever resell, I wouldn't want one that's been sanded down, or at least I'd want to know that the pegs have been permanently modified. I've put several together and you need a hair dryer so the legs "pop" in place.

Still seems like overkill, especially for a small hard plastic peg.
Either way, it turned out perfectly for me, so... yeah...

when in doubt, eat fried chicken...

Only here on the Freak forums does the phrase "a blowdryer is a man's best friend" stand true.

This seems like a pretty common occurence, as all of my HT Preds seem to have it (so now I basically take it with a grain of salt and think of it as normal).
Anyway, often times with an HT Pred fig, one of the legs has a shin that is not exactly loose, but is wobbly and can come off with bending the knee. It's easy to snap back into place, but the other leg is tight. Usually this happens to the left leg, but sometimes it's the right.
Does anyone else know what I'm talking about, or know a reason/fix?

It's not too big a deal, as it doesn't interfere with posing or displaying at all, but it's just a little something I've noticed.

My Cleaner and P1 pred had this issue. But while it looked like it was, the peg wasn't all the way up into the upper leg. I pushed it all the way in and the knees were tight and the issue abated.
