Suggestion for improvement : straight weapons (1 Viewer)

[Mastercom10]

I have noticed that some figures have not straight but curved weapons ant notably rifle butts and spears ( lancers for example ).
Here are some photos to illustrate this and you can see that it is not very realistic.
About french Red Lancers NAP0425 and Polish lancers NAP0698, there is also sometimes a poor fit of the two halves of the spear in the right hand which makes
an offset instead of perfect alignment as it should be.
And also be carrefull with Polish Lancers NAP0698, 0699 and 0700 : spears are often not straight and if you try to straighten them the material used causes a break.
This happened to me several times.
( unlike french Red lancers whose material used allows the spear to be straightened without breaking it ).

I've seen this problem many times, seems to happen 'in transit' so you have to very carefully bend them back straight.

The big hassle is that with some hard metal, it is brittle and will break!

Also sometimes the paint flakes and has to be retouched.

I had a quite few swords on JJD figures, but seems that metal would re-bend back, while FL figures will not, they break.

No easy answer,
