Hi-Metal R VF-1S Strike Roy custom - FOOT PROBLEM

[valkyriepilot]

I'm not sure if I am the only one experiencing this issue, or if someone has already solved it.

For some reason, the right foot of my HMR VF-1S Strike Roy cannot rotate backwards as much as the left foot. The left foot can rotate backwards alright, no issues there.

This results in unbalanced pose during Gerwalk mode. For Fighter and, for the most part, Battroid modes, this is not much of an issue.

Has anyone encountered this issue as well tried to tinker with the figure and was able to fix it? Any suggestions or details of fixes would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

This was definitely discussed before but I can't recall the resolution.. if there was one.

It’s definitely come up. Careful movement can listen it a bit, but it seems a thing with the vf-1 for some reason

Yep that looks like the same issue as I have.

Was the solution to force the foot to move and pray that it didn’t break?

Doesn't seem like there was a solution.

It was just popping it as far out as possible then moving it back carefully. There’s almost a nub in the way, but once it gets past that point it’s fine.

Forced the right foot of my HMR VT-1. That was the solution.

I also had a similar issue with my VT-1. Make sure you read the part on how to apply the pressure to the foot. It is a rather nerve racking process. Take your time with it. Don't try to get there all at once.

Perfect. Thank you.

Early morning one of my two cats decided to play with the HMR VE-1.

Found it on the floor (took a 4 feet dive). Two pieces came off, one of the wings and the front part of the left foot. Nothing broke. The part of the foot that pivots is connected through a ball jointed peg.

Could you pull out the rest of the foot attached to the VE-1. Not remove the rest, just want to see the inside.

Thanks in advance.🤗
