Tentatigers are chimera like beasts with grumpy personalities. Their snake tails are actually quite friendly though. A great friend for your Foo Dog toy!
Hey guys, if you want to repair the back toes on your tentatiger rather than sending them back. Use epoxy glue rather than superglue.
Superglue is just a mess and isn't as strong as epoxy. Go to a craft store and find a thing of E6000, follow the instructions and the claws should go on good as new.
Also, epoxy glue doesn't run like the superglue they provided, so you don't have to worry about "burns".
did not see the toy and box. but by pictures posted here, if all damages are same : broken left toes poking out styrofoam, it is clearly the styrofoam fitting problem: left toes not fit the space of styrofoam, caused by package factory.
to avoid same damages again and again, PT should really inform the factory to face the problem and improve the styrofoam fitting ( cutting to fit toy part perfectly).
My T-tigger also came with a wounded left rear paw :/ I thought about sending it back, but didn't want to bother with it. I also tried to glue the claw back, with no success. Thankfully, I only "burned" the underside of the paw. Poor guy. He did get a place of honor on my shelves, though ;)
Absolutely love this figure, I was also anxiously awaiting his arrival, and when I opened his box his back left foot was poking through the styrofoam with a boo boo as well. Poor little Tentatiger, however I am very pleased with the PT guy's response!
Yeah some of my guys toes were broken too. I attempted to glue them back on with the superglue.. which resulted in my getting it all over his leg and "burning" his leg.. so I put a little band-aid on it. X3 I didn't think of sending it back... I took a photo of the damage before repairing it though.
Just to inform buyers, the shippers aren't very kind to this toy so either inquire about more packing or be ready to send it back for a new toy if the toes are broken off.
The toes seem to be quite fragile, that is if it's jostled or smashed. So I would NOT recommend giving this to kids and making sure it's display location is secure from it falling. PT is willing to swap out your Tentatiger with a new one if yours has broken toes. Hopefully there's not too many Tentatiggies crying from their toes being bashed off.
I received mine in the mail yesterday and it is fantastic. Wonderful work!
