Question on the new Airielbots, are their wings or tail fins the flexible plastic like Combiner Wars, or the hard stuff? Some of my old CW and POTP jets fins are dissolving the plastic, I was wondering if Version 2 might have the same issue.

Their soild by my standards but then my figures haven't disvolved, only gathered dust as Superion has been on display with Defenor!

I meant more the type of plastic on the fins, if it was the stiffer or more flexible kind. I've noticed the worst problems with when the soft stuff is near painted parts. I'm considering getting a Superion set for my nephew for later on, but I was hoping to avoid the trouble the POTP Powermaster jets had.

Oh, good. The tailfins from my TFSS jets (Fractyl, Windsheer, SG Starscream) all had the exact same problem, so I was really iffy on the new Superion if it would be a repeat. If my nephew starts being interested in them I will see what I can find for him.

Edit: that reminds me, the nosecones had the same issue. Turned to sticky goo. The Earthrise jets quit using it, though. What are the new Arialbots ones made from?

Dang, that's a good point. Those are annoyances on all the jets from that era (first really noticed it with the POTP jets).

Be wild if this is what finally got me over the fence on these.

They seem to be the same plastic as the rest of the jet but they decided to comply with safety regulations by sculpting the nosecones a very round and blunt
