I just got the destiny Angel & Spike I have one complaint! The second set of arm's that came with Angel don't stay in very well. Everytime I try to out his arm's down on at his side they fall out.

They might be a bit of a loose fit. But it also could be that moving them all the way down creates leverage. When the bicep / sleeve pushes against the chest, the peg is popped out of place.

I've just tried mine, and yes, my ones arms barely stay in also.
It's almot like the pegs are too short for the depth of the socket. A damn pity that.

Yep, my arms all pop out easily too. Which worries me because with time they tend to loosen up anyway...I'm thinking a little something to make the hole ever so slightly smaller - maybe boil'n'pop but pushing against the cheast/shoulders to make the hole smaller then run it under cool water? I'll try this and see if it helps!

I hate that! My End of Days Buffy's arms are great (fortunatlely) but I bought a second to customise and they are awful! I bought Guyver (Manga) figure for £34 and its arms, hands, legs and every other joint fall out as soon as you move them!!!

my angels arms sometimes do that.
I find give them a good push and they stay in for a good while unless you move them to far down by his side.
Spikes are better but do pop out due to much movement

Look on the bright side, at least they got rid of those ugly exposed peg hole circles on the shoulder ball and hip joints.

Mine did the same at first, I just positioned them the right way. It was actually "Doomed" Spike that gave me a problem as I moved his arms around a little and they actually popped out. I had to manuever the arms and it took a while to get the arms to get back in under the shirt.

I'm having the opposite problem. I opened my angel and his arm broke off. I mean the peg broke inside the hole so there is nothing I can do. Does Diamond ever replace defective merchandise like that?

I've had both problems...some too loose for the ball joint arm and some too tight for other arms.

My jacket arms fit fine and sturdy, but the regular arms do pop out easily. If you pop them in tight and don't be too rough with them they will stay in, but if you want to put them in motion, those arms are going to be doing some popping. i'd try a little super glue, except I like them better in jackets. My deluxe arms are slowly becoming un-used accessories.

They have in the past, but it seems to be difficult to get ahold of them. If possible, try returning it where you got it. |

Unfortunately this was something I got from Time and Space Toys and they have been horrendous with customer service so it seems to be a lose/lose situation.  |

My angels arms dont stay in perfectly, but its not too bad. I simply LOVE this figure (havent opened up the others yet) but this is definitely my favorite Male btvs/Ats figure EVER. Any problems with the first series were fixed with this one...I guess I wont be too upset when the regular line slows down and this line takes over.

Update. I was wrong, it was the 50's Angel that broke not the Destiny. Diamond was extremely accomodating and mailed out a replacement figure. I must admit I was very surprised at how quick they responded and how understanding they were. Kudos to Diamond.
