Yes and yes. That was a common issue on this fig, and a blow dryer does the trick.

Yep same problem here. A blow dryer worked a treat. I considered using a blow dryer before I came to the forum sure enough that is what other people are doing as well.

I guess I'm the only one who was lazy and skipped the blowdryer ... was lucky that a little brute force worked.

Unfortunately I think I broke the knee portion of his leg armor while struggling to get it on over his pant leg.

The good news is that it stays in place unless touched.

After removing the foot I wrapped the pants tightly around the ankle and help it in place with a piece of tape. The leg armor then slid easily over the pants. It also keeps the pants from bunching up around the knee portion of the leg armor.

Argh just found a problem with my one. The arc rector would not work so I replaced the batteries. The switch seemed a bit dodgy but it works. Now that it is getting dark I noticed that the arc reactor light is dimly illuminated when switched off. In other words it is always on. The ON position is nice and bright and the OFF position is dimly lit. It is only noticeable in shadow or darkness.

Why me!!!

My Mk42's arc reactor and Heartbreaker's helmet are the same...you are not alone.

I just remove all batteries and pretend no light up feature exists.

I'm considering just living with it. Everything on the figure is perfect. It's a bit fiddly to turn it on/off anyway.

 

[Brainiac]

I don't have any problems with the lights.

yeah especially the head and back.... I hate removing the panels to find the switches

I have the option of picking this figure up for about £65 new. Kind of tempted. Will the head fit onto the neck balljoints of the Iron Man 3 armours?
