as far as i could tell, the wings look the same as the original release on the outside. without taking the screw caps off of the joints, it's hard to say if they're using the replacement wings mold or if they redesigned it again. i only opened and closed the black shin getter wings twice and they seemed to be fine. they weren't too tight or too loose. that being said, they did redesign the waist piece and stand to be similar to the original getters, so i would hope that they would have taken note of the replacement wings not working well either.

No, they did not fix the wings. Mine broke day one when I tried to spread the wings. I was super careful with it too. Not only that, the wrists are extremely loose on mine.

I've been reading a bunch of "God I hope they fixed the wings" posts. I'm going to guess that since they sent wings that supposedly fixed the problem to owners of the original shin getter release that they would use those wings rather than the messed up ones.

And did the black repaint version had the torso improvements? what torso improvements are you referring to? i have both, but the only differences i remember was the butterfly shoulder joints on the original were completely floppy while the black version can actually hold their position, and the stand connects to a hole under the butt flaps and clamps under the crotch instead of just being jammed into the top of the waist.

The problem is, those "fixed" replacement wings were not much better. Mine seemed fine upon reception, but one eventually broke and fell down after a while on display. I just glued these open position. I'm considering modifying the joints on my first set with small rare earth magnets and ratchet-type notches.

I passed on this 1, I have 2 of the original an 1 Black Shin. It looks too much like the original, they just change the black to blue. I can make this by swapping out parts from 1 of my original getters LOL. I knew having 2 originals would come in handy. Plus the wings are great no issues with mine!!!

Bumping this one but does anyone know a good way to fix a loose wrist/ hand joint.

The best way to fix a joint, is.....try at your own risk.......the use nail polish (clear) on the joint, so the size of it is a bit larger, so tighter in the socket.
If possible remove the part to apply the nail polish, and put a clear coat around the joint and let it dry completly.

Just realized I worded it wrong, The joint itself is fine but the peg is loose so the hand keeps falling off...
